Audrey p2 New Earswick Garden Village When New Earswick was built more than one hundred years ago, Joseph Rowntree wanted to make it possible for people to live a good life in a healthy community. Fresh air and home-grown food were important and each house had a garden with two fruit trees, and was the right size “such that a man could cultivate it after finishing a day’s work”. Let’s celebrate our garden village this spring….there are so many ways to get out and about as the days get longer… p3 Gardening and Growing in New Earswick With its special history as a garden village, today New Earswick is still full of fruit trees and greenery and there are lots of ways for everyone to get involved in growing, gardening and nature New Earswick Sharing Together (NEST) NEST is a hidden gem nestled along sleeper path and the river.

  • From York to New Earswick: Working-Class Homes at the Turn of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Northumbria Research Link From York to New Earswick: working-class homes at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Cheryl Buckley School of Arts and Social Sciences Northumbria University Newcastle-upon-Tyne England NE1 8ST Work +44 (0) 191 227 3124 - Mob: 07792194339 Home +44 (0) 1325 484877 – Mob: 07814 278168 [email protected] [email protected] word count 3,844 1 How to improve the lives of the working class and the poor in Britain has been a key concern for social reformers, architects and designers, and local and national governments throughout twentieth century, but the origins of this were in the preceding century. From the middle of the nineteenth century, reformers had understood the necessity of improving the living conditions, diet and material environment of those with low incomes. Housing, at the core of this, was increasingly a political issue, but as this case study of the development of a garden village in the North of England demonstrates, it was also a moral and aesthetic one. Moving home from poor quality housing in York city centre to the garden village of New Earswick begun in 1903 symbolised not only a physical relocation a few miles north, but also an unprecedented change in social and material conditions. Life in New Earswick promised new opportunities; a chance to start afresh in carefully designed, better equipped housing located in a rural setting and with substantial gardens. Largely unexplored

  • Huntington Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group Was Established Under the Auspices of Huntington Parish Council to Oversee the Development of the Plan
    Huntington Parish Neighbourhood Plan Consultation 2017- 2032/33 Statement July 2019 1 1.0 Introduction This document provides a summary of the engagement that took place in developing the Huntington Parish Neighbourhood Plan (‘The Plan’). It has been prepared in part to fulfil the legal obligations of the Neighbourhood Planning Regulations 2012 Section 15(2) of Part 5 of the Regulations (as amended) that sets out what a Consultation Statement should contain. According to the Regulations, a Consultation Statement should: a) contains details of the persons and bodies who were consulted about the proposed neighbourhood development plan; b) explains how they were consulted; c) summarises the main issues and concerns raised by the persons consulted; d) describes how these issues and concerns have been considered and, where relevant, addressed in the proposed Neighbourhood Plan. The Huntington Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group was established under the auspices of Huntington Parish Council to oversee the development of the Plan. The group identified that strong and effective consultation was key to the successful development and implementation of the Neighbourhood Plan. In particular, the consultation aimed: • To inform as many local people and other relevant bodies and stakeholders as possible of the existence of the Neighbourhood Plan and its development and; • To seek their views on the proposals being developed by the Steering Group. 1.1 Designation of the Neighbourhood Plan Area Huntington Parish Council applied to the City of York Council to designate the Parish as a Neighbourhood Plan Area. Following the requisite statutory consultation period, the area was designated under delegated powers by the City of York Council as Huntington Parish Neighbourhood Plan Area on 28 September 2015.

Bill Duff was a Vice President of the DA and for many years was one of the leading organisers of the Rally. Peter Rowntree was a great benefactor, and without his patronage in the early years it is doubtful whether the Rally could have become the premier cycle-touring event that it is now. Ida Pratt (wife of Cliff) was a member of Hull and East Riding DA, but was a prominent Rally worker for almost forty years. All three will be sorely missed. * * * * * * * * CALENDAR OF EVENTS 13th-28th April 10th Birthday Event - Abbey Circuits.
