COUNTY COUNCILLOR JOHN BLACKBURN WRITE Since I wrote my last article for the Parish News, my life has taken on a major change. As many of you will know I have been elected to the position of Mayor of The Borough of Scar- borough and this is indeed a great honour. There has been a Mayor of Scarborough since 1836. He/She is the first citizen of the Borough, the Queens representative in the Borough and the Chairman of the Council. I am delighted that this year the Mayor is a resident of the Southern Area of the Borough, and as the County Councillor for the Hertford & Cayton Division I hope to be able to attend at least one official function in each village. I will of course continue to represent Folkton and Flixton as your County Councillor. There is no doubt that being Mayor takes over your life. The Mayor acts as an ambassador for the area, working to promote the Borough within and outside the area. Thus having both a democratic and ceremonial role to perform in the Council and the Borough. Vital to Any Mayor is the support of the Mayores or Consort and my wife Jackie and I will have attended over 150 engage- ments by the time you receive this Parish News. We do not choose were we go, we go were we are requested, but we enjoy the experience of meeting lots of people at many varied events.The Mayoress' also has the responsibility of Chairing her community fund which raises money for many local organi- sations during the year. As I have already said our engagements are many and varied, and it is not always the high profile events that we enjoy the most. I particularly enjoy visiting schools as Mayor and also showing some of them around the Town Hall. I am particularly looking forward to hosting the children from Hunmanby School gardening club, following their success as the top mvbn school in Yorkshire in Bloom. Our first engagement was the 80th anniversary of the miniature railway and I particularly enjoyed performing the opening ceremony at the smallest pub in Yorkshire by pulling the first pint and drinking it. Armed Forces Day was a very memorable occasion as was our visit to the Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace. Every Mayor is expected to have a theme for his or her year and this year I have chosen to have two, those being Sport and Happiness. With regard to sport, I am keen to see improved facilities were necessary throughout the Borough. Naturally I am keen to see progress with the new sports vil- lage and in particular the new football stadium. I recently visited the KC stadium in Hull, together with officers from the council and directors of Scarborough Athletic football club. The object of the visit was to learn how the council, the foot- ball club and rugby league club had worked together on their project, and I was particularly keen to learn more about their hybrid pitch, which in my opinion is just what we need in our new stadium I have received a request for a running track and I have already made enquiries regarding land and fund- ing for such a venture. It is my opinion that facilities for ath- letics are lacking in Scarborough. I have also visited the swimming pool to discuss our plans for a new pool in Scar- borough. I am keen to meet with anybody who wishes to dis- cuss the provision of sports facilities in the Borough. Being Mayor and Mayor’s is hard work, but it is enjoyable. People are always pleased to see us, and in my opinion it is vital to bring a little happiness into people lives. Yes being Mayor has a serious side to it but if we can have a laugh with the many people we meet it is so much more rewarding. Well that is it for now. 5 months down and 7 to go, many more engagements, lots more people to meet and functions to per- form, I cant wait. Around the various Committees briefly {only one to report on] Southern Parish Cluster Minutes Present: - Councillors- Cayton - John Blackburn (Chairman) & Roberta Swiers Muston - Godfrey Allanson & Brian Stevenson Filey – Tony Willis Osgodby - Peter Southward & Eileen Vickers Folkton - Jill Carroll & Linda Thompson Reighton & Speeton Linda Wilson Hunmanby – Philip Todd & Harvey Stockdale Also present were: - Jo Ireland (Regeneration & Planning Services) & Ian Anderson (Head of Legal & Support Services) Scarborough Borough Council; Councillor Simon Green (Cayton Ward); Michelle Donohoe-Moncrieff Chair Hunmanby Parish Council ; Clerk to the Cluster Helen Carter & one mem- ber of the public.

APOLOGIES had been received from – Candida Kirby &Tricia Peake - Reighton & Speeton; Diane Glanvill - Filey; Councillor Mike Cockerill; Councillor Sam Cross & NY Police. POLICE REPORT was circulated at the meeting. Members discussed the breakdown of the figures in that village crimes are included with those that happen at the camps & separate figures would give a better indication of what is happening in each village. The clerk is to contact the police to request separate figures on future reports. LT advised the information in the Flixton paragraph was incorrect; the 2 flower display tubs had been taken from the bus shelter not a garden. This to be mentioned to the police. The police had been seen in Cayton using the speed gun; EV requested that a session is arranged with Osgodby members, the clerk will ask the police. A copy of the police report is at- tached. MATTERS ARISING from the minutes of the last meeting:- Maintenance & Caretaking Survey members were reminded their Parish Councils need to com- plete this & return it to Jo Ireland by 30/6. The clerk will remind the clerks by email. CONSTITUTION & GOVERNANCE Ian briefed members on the present position. The documents have been referred to YLCA & they in turn have referred them to NALC. YLCA have spoken with him & they are supportive of the cluster & what it is doing but had reservations about the wording of the draft constitution & agreement - terms of reference may be used instead of constitution. The re- sponse will be made to the cluster clerk & to each individual council as it is they that are members. Folkton membership of YLCA has lapsed & they presently do not have a clerk, any response is to be sent to Linda Thompson by the clerk. AREA COMMITTEE GRANT/OPTIONS FOR FUNDING Jo requested that the paper discussed at our last meeting was taken back to each Parish Council for discussion by their members. The parish views will then be discussed at our August meeting. Jo went onto discuss the Community, Environment & Economy Development Plan documents (Filey & the Southern Parishes) which have been circulated to all clerks. Exhibitions are being arranged & the consultation commenced on 10th June for 6 weeks. It is important these are discussed at parish level & she is to arrange for several copies to be made available to each parish in order that they can be distributed to individual members. Tied in is the updating of Parish Plans; if any parish needs assistance to do this contact they can contact Jo or Matthew Joseph & involve forward planning. CLUSTER FINANCE the clerk reported:- Financial year end 31st March 2011 - end of year figures were circulated. Income £1,967.62 expen- diture £350.57. Balance held £9,623.62.

    ENVIRONMENT AGENCY NORTH EAST REGION RIVER QUALITY SURVEY GQA ASSESSMENT 1998 DALES AREA FRESHWATER RIVERS AND CANALS RIVER REACH CLASSIFICATION SUMMARY 1990-9 JULY 1999 E n v ir o n m e n t A g e n c y NATIONAL LIBRARY & INFORMATION SERVICE NORTH EAST REGION Tyneside House. Skinnerbum Road, Newcastle Business Park. Newcastle-Upon-Tyne NE4 7AR INTRODUCTION This document contains the derived General Quality Assessment (GQA) of the rivers in Dales Area for the year 1998. The grade is based on an amalgamation of three years data and thus reflects the river chemistry over the period 1996-8. The parameters used in the classification are Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Dissolved Oxygen (DO) and Ammonia and a monitoring frequency of at least monthly is preferred. The GQA results have been calculated by the National Centre for Environmental Data and Surveillance at Twerton. There have been some discrepancies between their database of sites and ours, always a problem when such huge blocks of information are transmitted backwards and forwards. This resulted in no GQA grade being calculated for some sites. Where this has occurred I have filled in the missing grade by calculating it locally. In such circumstances this is identified by the grade being represented in lower case. You will notice that this document is slightly different to those produced in previous years in that it does not contain any maps. There are a number of reasons for this but primarily it was decided to disseminate the tabular information rapidly after it’s return from the national centre out to the areas and produce a more in depth analysis of the information later on in the year.

  • River Response to Recent Environmental Change in the Yorkshire Ouse Basin, Northern England
    River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. Sean Anthony Longfield, B.Sc. (H ons) 'N/ Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of Leeds School of Geography July 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the w'ork of others II A b s t r a c t Longfield, S.A. 1998. River response to recent environmental change in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England. University of Leeds, Ph.D. This study examines historical variations in flood frequency and magnitude in the Yorkshire Ouse basin, northern England, over the last 900 years. The causes of temporal and spatial variations in flooding are evaluated through investigation of climatic and land-use controls. Documentary evidence of flooding and climate suggests that a series of large floods between 1263 and 1360 were associated with climatic deterioration from the Medieval Optimum. A shift to generally milder conditions between 1361 and 1549 resulted in no floods being documented in the Ouse basin The frequency of large magnitude floods increased dramatically between 1550 and 1680, as a result of low temperatures, increased surface wetness, more frequent snowfall and a southward shift of prevailing storm tracks over middle latitudes, associated with the onset of the "Little Ice Age’. In contrast, during a wanner phase of the Little Ice Age, between 1681 and 1763, the frequency of localised summer flooding increased in the Ouse basin due to more frequent high intensity, short duration convective storms.

  • The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project… …Why, What, Where and When? by David Renwick, Project Officer
    David Renwick, Project Officer, Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project, 19/04/06 The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project… …Why, What, Where and When? By David Renwick, Project Officer This partnership project in the Vale of Pickering aims to rehabilitate a nationally-important wetland landscape through sensitive farm management, to make the Vale a richer place for wildlife and more attractive and accessible for the benefit of all. Introduction The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project aims to help local farmers and landowners to create, manage and restore wetland habitats in the Vale of Pickering around Cayton and Flixton Carrs. It builds on the existing environmental and archaeological importance of this inspiring area. The Vale of Pickering has a fascinating landscape history from its glacial past, through the effects of man, from Mesolithic settlement to modern drainage, to the current changes in British Farming and the effects on wildlife through the ages. The Project is working with local farmers to boost the area’s wildlife whilst at the same time helping them to secure a financially viable farm business, this will not only benefit the farmers and the wildlife but also provide much wider benefits which we can all enjoy. Here is a summary of what has happened so far and a taste of what we hope can happen in the future. A Chilly Beginning The last ice age or Pleistocene period lasted some 2.5 million years, with ice advancing and retreating across Britain many times over, finally disappearing completely some 10,000 years ago. At this time, now named as the beginning of the current Holocene period the landscape of North Yorkshire was still recovering from the grips of the last ice age.

The incremental increase in the number of agencies and projects with an interest in the Vale but little concerted action or agreement about the qualities that make the Vale of Pickering a unique landscape. The need for an agreed, clear statement on the special character, qualities and attributes of the Vale which can be incorporated into policy documents For English Heritage this Statement of Significance is the first stage in developing an overall strategy for the Vale of Pickering. Once this document has been agreed and „endorsed‟ by its partners and co-contributors, the intention is that it will be followed by an „Action Plan‟ that will: Illustrate how the special qualities of the Vale can be enhanced through specific projects Seek funding for and propose specific projects and initiatives.
