BioYorkshire 10-year programme ....................................................................................... 138 ANNEX 2 Executive Summary The scale of our ambition Our vision: For York and North Yorkshire (YNY) to become England’s first carbon negative economy, where people with the skills and aspiration to reach their full potential, earn higher wages and live healthy lives in thriving communities. With two National Parks, the Yorkshire Coast and City of York, our world renowned historic and cultural assets shape our urban spaces, whilst the scenic beauty of our vast rural landscape and northern coastline define York and North Yorkshire as one of world’s most recognised regions. This is a place where the city, land and seascapes have shaped the people who live, work, research and create here. City of York, pioneering with purpose – as a global knowledge leader, York will drive a regional productivity transformation. One of Uk’s most connected cities York provides the science and innovation to unlock the true value of our precious natural resources. Rural Powerhouse – brings together market towns alongside world class agriculture and landscapes. It will experience a significant shift in the coming years as we leave the Common Agricultural Policy and rise to the climate change challenge. We will grasp the opportunity to make best use of our natural assets to generate new income streams and revitalise our 21st century market towns. This will redefine and rebalance the relationship between urban and rural economies and bring significant benefit to rural businesses and communities. Opportunity Coast - Industry led investment in Scarborough including, a new university campus, investments in further education, community led development and housing and road networks, combine to create opportunity for all on our stunning North Yorkshire coast. By investing in places and enabling business inspired growth we have helped to ignite powerful social change that will address longstanding coastal deprivation. Growth Connectors – the growth potential of our economy lies in a number of places that have a significant role to play in the economic future of the North. Harrogate, Selby, Skipton and Northallerton are our Growth Connectors. They have extensive infrastructure capacity, opportunities for employment and settlement growth and good connections beyond York and North Yorkshire. Their position and connectivity within the Northern Powerhouse brings out the strength of York and North Yorkshire in joining up scaled growth across the North. Benefits of Devolution At the moment, the Government in London makes the majority of decisions about what happens here in Yorkshire. Some decisions, such as about foreign policy and defence, need to be made by central Government alone. This proposition reflects that many others, including running and investing in our public transport, education and skills and providing support for our businesses, would deliver better outcomes, increased returns to government and would involve local people more - if they were made here in our own county. ANNEX 2 Devolution will give us the powers and resources to become England’s first carbon negative economy, to better connect the capability within and around our distinctive places. We will shape a better destiny and make a bigger contribution to the UK economy by: 1. Delivering 100% digital connectivity for everyone everywhere vital for the long-term prosperity of our region. This means both addressing the last 5% whilst ensuring our towns and cities are as connected as core cities delivering a connected, smart region. 2. Innovating in our unique capabilities in bio-economy and low carbon technologies, underpin our ambition to become England’s first carbon negative region creating new industry opportunities in higher productivity sectors. 3. Leveraging our skills base - our greatest asset is our highly skilled workforce. Capitalising on this and retaining our young talent by creating high value jobs will drive our growth. 4. Investing in good businesses with great leadership that prosper from our distinct assets and contribute to a carbon negative region 5. Developing healthy, thriving places that are resilient to climate change and provide energy efficient, affordable housing for our residents. Our proposals across each of policy area have put forward on the basis they pass five ‘tests’ – they must: i. Accelerate recovery from COVID-19; ii. Support the levelling up of our national economy and economic prosperity for all; iii. Deliver on national and local climate change commitments; iv. Support the priorities and principles of the YNY Local Industrial Strategy (LIS); and v. Enable delivery that is more efficient and effective through a place-based, locally tailored approach. These devolution proposals have been developed with, and are supported by, all Local Authorities within York and North Yorkshire and by the York and North Yorkshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). A Mayoral Combined Authority (MCA) We are committed to securing the strongest possible devolution deal for York and North Yorkshire and propose a MCA with all YNY Local Authorities as constituent members. We will ensure governance arrangements enable strategic leadership at a Mayoral level alongside robust democratic accountability. YNY has a history of strong partnership and through the YNY LEP, where we are successfully delivering our Growth Deal which is leveraging £8 for every £1 invested. Our devolution proposals will empower the YNY region by equipping us with funding and decision-making powers which will allow us to better shape our destiny and make a bigger contribution to the UK economy by: Ensuring that the decisions which affect YNY are made by local stakeholders; Rapidly directing investment which makes the biggest difference to our economy, people and places; and Supporting an economic recovery from COVID-19 by accelerating positive economic, social and environmental change. ANNEX 2 Our Devolution Deal proposals Our deal is structured to deliver the short-term stimulus needed to maximise our economic recovery from COVID-19 alongside long term strategic investment to ensure future growth is sustainable (see Figure 1). Devolution Deal Summary ANNEX 2 ANNEX 2 1 Introduction and context for our proposals The York and North Yorkshire economy Our region has a highly resilient and diverse economy with a GVA in of over £19bn and a driving ambition for transformation. It covers 8,300 sq. km with a population of 825,000 and covers one quarter of the Northern Powerhouse. COVID-19 has had a major impact on economies across the world with no place untouched. Ensuring our recovery is fast, sustainable and creates increased resilience in our communities and for our planet is at the heart of our proposals. YNY’s economy is underpinned by its places, landscapes and natural assets. With two National Parks, the Yorkshire Coast and City of York, our world renowned historic and cultural assets shape our urban spaces, whilst the scenic beauty of our vast rural landscape and northern

    Hull History Centre: Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn U DDPA Papers of the Palmes Family of Naburn 13th cent. - 1906 Biographical Background: The Palmes family traced its pedigree back to Manfred Palmes who was living in 1140 and had lands in Taunton, Somerset. It is a family unique in being able to trace an unbroken inheritance from son to son from the twelfth century to 1974, with only one exception in the eighteenth century. In 1226 lands at Naburn in East Yorkshire were assigned to William Palmes by Richard de Watervill, the brother of Maud de Watervill, William Palmes's wife. The demesne lordship of Naburn then descended in the Palmes family to the twentieth century (Baines, Old Naburn, p. 45; Allison, History of York East Riding, iii, p. 77; Foster, Pedigrees, iii). Naburn is about three miles south of York and the Palmes family built a manor house on the east bank of the River Ouse. The house was first mentioned in 1345 and had eight hearths in 1672. A drawing of circa 1720 indicates a two storey house, three bays in length with attic windows in high gables. In other words, the family was comfortably-wealthy, although it was not until the early sixteenth century that any of the male members of the family held public office. William Palmes, who was living in the middle of the fifteenth century, married Ellen Rocliffe, whose father was one of the barons of the exchequer. She provided him with three male heirs and a daughter before taking the veil during his lifetime, in 1479.

  • Mapping Rapidly Changing Minority Ethnic Populations: a Case Study of York
    Mapping rapidly changing minority ethnic populations: a case study of York Gary Craig with Sue Adamson, Nazreen February 2010 Ali and Fasil Demsash Official statistics can be of limited help to those providing services to increasingly diverse populations. Using an innovative approach, this project drew on both formal and informal sources to estimate the size and diversity of York’s minority ethnic population and the implications for key agencies. The project was commissioned by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation’s York Grants Committee, which makes modest grants to organisations to help improve the general quality of life in York. The Committee wanted a more up-to-date picture of the city’s population than census data offers, to help inform its work. This report looks at: • the approach piloted by the project • what this approach found • the project team’s recommendations for policy and service organisations in York. The project suggests that York’s population is much more ethnically diverse than is often supposed, identifying 78 different first languages within the city. www.jrf.org.uk When they talk about communities, all they see are white, Asian, black and possibly Chinese. They don’t see the Italian community, they don’t see the Polish community and they don’t see the Iranian community.

Printed on Recycled Paper 2 Chairman’s remarks My remarks this time are an elaboration on the email I sent a fortnight ago to all York U3A members whose email addresses we have. As many of you will be aware, our membership numbers have been growing steadily over recent years, although relatively few of the people in York who would qualify for membership seem to know about U3A. We are not short of numbers but, given the many opportunities for intellectual stimulation, physical recreation and friendship that our many U3A interest groups afford our members, your committee has agreed that we should collaborate in an initiative launched by the Haxby branch of U3A to make people in our area who are soon to retire more aware of what we offer.
