COUNTY COUNCILLOR JOHN BLACKBURN WRITES Looking back it seems some time since I last wrote in your “Parish News”, but having spoken to Linda I realise that I did not write in the last edition because it was issued around the time of the County Council election, and it would be seen as electioneering if I had done so. Well I am now delighted to report that I was re-elected as your County Councillor, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who voted for me. It is indeed a privilege to represent the people of Flixton and Folkton at County Hall and as always I will do my best to get things done that you request . At this stage I wish to pay tribute to your Parish Council, who keep me very well informed of prob- lems within your villages. I try to attend your Parish Council meetings every month, and I really value the information which I get from these meetings, and they, really do keep me on my toes. There is a die-hard group of members of the public who attend these meetings, and take advantage of the time allotted for public questions and statements, who keep us all on our toes, and I wish more people would take advantage of this. I have seven Parish Councils in my County division, and I try to visit them all on a monthly basis. I have been a member of Cayton Parish Council for more than 30 years, and I really value the role that Parish councils play in there local communities. We are living in difficult times financially, and as Councillors we spend much of our time looking to make savings in our budget. Our Government grant increases are decreasing every year, and of course we are trying to keep council tax rises to a minimum, this of course makes it more difficult to meet the aspirations of our constituents, and this is very frustrating. It is my desire to be able to satisfy all reasonable requests that I receive as quickly as possible, and this will continue to Councillors and members of the public, to discuss any problems and queries which they may have. Talking of money you may all not be aware that the County Council area committee “Yorkshire Coast & Moors” has pot of money which it can use to make grants to local organisation and charities to projects they may have. If you wish to know more about this fund please do not hesitate to contact me. I thought before I close that it may be useful to remind you all of the County Councils responsibili- ties, these are as follows :- Young Peoples services. This includes schools buildings and staff, youth services and children’s centres. Adult Education. Social Services This includes care for the elderly, adoption, fostering and libraries. Environmental Services. This includes highways, public rights of way, waste disposal, planning (schools, waste disposal sites, mineral extraction, mines.), public transport, flooding and climate change. Trading Standards. If you wish to discuss any of these or any problems you may have related to any of the above please do not hesitate to contact me and I will pleased to meet or visit you. In the next edition I will write about my responsibilities as your County Councillor, in the mean time have a good Christmas, and I look forward to writing to you again in the New Year. Best Wishes John Blackburn REPORTS FROM BOROUGH COUNCILLORS. Councillor Nick Harvey Hertford Ward – Scarborough Borough Council 66 Stonegate Hunmanby Filey YO14 0PP Tel: (01723) 890453 Email: [email protected] Nick Harvey of 66 Stonegate, Hunmanby was elected as the new Scarborough Borough Councillor for Hertford Ward on 13th August. At 45, relatively young as Council‐ lors go and from the Green Party. Nick aims to keep in touch with the 4000+ peo‐ ple in the large rural ward stretching from Staxton roundabout to Speeton and so holds a ‘pop in’ surgery every Tuesday at Jilly’s Café on Hungate Lane, Hunmanby between 10am and 11am, to listen to residents concerns and issues, as well as attending the 5 parish councils in the area. Nick is self employed promoting ex‐ cursion trains, a keen gardener, and a campaigner for improved public transport. Said Nick ‘The ‘pop in’ surgery is well attended, I am also available by phone – 890453 . The way I work is all issues raised I take up in writing, keeping the constituent informed, with copies of the correspondence. This helps to explain how local government works, both to the resident and myself as a councillor. A councillor is not employed by the council but is elected by the people, and serve for a set period of time, in my case 20 months. Large changes over the part 20 years have seen former public services moved to private or semi private organisa‐ tions. I’ve taken up 133 issues since being elected stretching from Health Care provision to Public Transport and Flooding. The Scarborough District faces huge change over the next 20 years, with large areas of land having to be found to meet Government targets, land for 560 new homes each year. To understand the dilemma, it like finding land for a new ‘Whitby’‐ that is the scale of forecast growth. 18 months ago developers were asked to put their ideas forward, 10 sites were suggested in Folkton and Flixton. The public were informed, comments submitted and sites judged against a criteria of where housing should go, like access to public transport, schools and ser‐ vices. These have now been ‘short listed’ call the ‘Preferred Options.’ There are no ‘preferred sites’ being put forward in Folkton and Flixton. Where are they being suggested? The bulk of the ‘preferred sites' lie in Cayton and Eastfield and Middle Deepdale, approaching 5,000 new homes. To understand more the Council has started consultation. ‘The Draft Core Strat‐ egy’ and the ‘Draft Housing Allocations’ Yours sincerely Nick Harvey Green Party Councillor, Hertford Ward Councillor Nick Harvey holds a weekly ‘pop in’ surgery. Every Tuesday, between 10am and 11am, Councillor Nick Harvey will be holding a weekly ‘pop in’ surgery at Jilly’s Café on Hungate Lane, Hunmanby. He will be available to listen to residents concerns and ideas. FLIXTON AND FOLKTON BLOOM GROUP The Bloom Group were really pleased to find out they had been successful in getting a Silver Gilt Award in the Yorkshire in Bloom and have decided to have another go in the Competition next year.

  • The Chalk Drums from Folkton and Lavant: Measuring Devices from the Time of Stonehenge
    The Chalk Drums from Folkton and Lavant: Measuring Devices from the Time of Stonehenge Anne Teather1, Andrew Chamberlain1, Mike Parker Pearson2 1. School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, M13 9PT, U.K. ([email protected], [email protected]) 2. Institute of Archaeology, UCL, 31-34 Gordon Square, London, WC1H 0PY, U.K. ([email protected]) Abstract Investigating knowledge of mathematics and the use of standard units of measurement in prehistoric societies is a difficult task. For the British Neolithic period (4000-2500 BC) attempts to refine our understanding of mathematical knowledge for this period have been largely unsuccessful until now. Following recent research, we propose that there is a direct link between the design of the monument of Stonehenge and the chalk artefacts known as the Folkton and Lavant Drums, in which the Drums represent measurement standards that were essential for accurate and reproducible monument construction. This has important implications for the future analyses of artefacts and monuments for this period. Introduction Within studies of the British Neolithic, material culture and monument forms are commonly approached in different ways. Material culture is largely examined through the form, function and decoration of artefacts such as stone tools and pottery vessels (Hurcombe 2007, 59), while monuments (i.e. large-scale earthworks and structures built of timber and stone) are studied through elements of their construction, and evidence for their inferred use (Cummings 2008). This conventional approach inadvertently poses an interpretive separation, whereby items of material culture are sometimes conceived as being supplementary to British Neolithic monumental activity, and simply form an incidental part of the archaeological record.

THE YORKSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SOCIETY- Founded 1863. Incorporated 1893. RECORD SERIES, Vol. LIX. FOR THE YEAR 191 8. INQUISITIONS POST MORTEM RELATING TO YORKSHIRE, OF THE REIGNS OF HENRY IV AND HENRY V. KDITED BY W. PALEY BAILDON, F.S.A., AND J. W. CLAY, F.S.A. PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY. 1918. PREFACE The present volume contains all the inquisitions post mortem, proofs of age and assignments of dower, relating to Yorkshire, for the reigns of Henry IV and Henry V, that are contained in the Chancery series. That series formerly included also the inquisitions ad quod damnum, which have now been made into a separate class, and are therefore not dealt with here. In view of the very full introduction to Vol. xii of the Record Series, it seems unnecessary to add to this volume any introduction on similar lines. The whole class of Chancery inquisitions post mortem is under arrangement; the documents are now arranged in files numbered from the beginning of each reign. The documents themselves, however, have not so far been renumbered, and still have the old system of numbering, beginning a new serial with each regnal year. It has therefore been thought better not to give the old serial number, in view of a probable renumbering at no distant date.

  • Scarborough's War Years, 1939-1945
    SCARBOROUGH’S WAR YEARS - 1939-45 by Richard James Percy PAGE 1 It would be impossible to recollect all the activity that went on in Scarborough during the Second World War. Shops and businesses had to adjust to the war situation. Many closed earlier than usual because of the blackout. The hospital only allowed two visitors to each patient per day and only one at a time by the bedside. Everyone had to carry their gasmasks, although people soon became tired of doing so and the habit slowly petered out. Everyone had an identity card which had to be on the person at all times. The hotels and boarding houses were full of visitors on the first Christmas of the war but this was all to change as one by one they were taken over by the military for the billeting of the armed forces. Scarborough had become a prohibited area and it was difficult for anyone to enter without a lot of questions being asked. Later on in the war visitors did start to arriving for their holidays but it was very hard for them to find accommodation. Many shops and houses had their windows and other breakable things taped up to stop blast damage in case of air raids. The Floral Hall, Gala Land and the South Bay Pool had wire netting in vunerable places. The inhabitants of Scarborough attended dances at the Olympia – the Spa was requisitioned by the military – and although the streets were full of soldiers and a blackout, there was never one case of assault or any trouble.
