A Newsletter for Wolds Valley Residents ISSUE 59 ● JUNE 2010 Final copy date 18th June for the July A View from Ryedale House issue to:- Trevor Thomson The dust has begun to settle on what has turned out to be an historic election but, here Gypsey Cottage, Main Road, in the Thirsk and Malton constituency, we find ourselves in a peculiar position as we Weaverthorpe, YO17 8EY prepare to vote with the national outcome already known. On a personal level, my Telephone: 01944 738804 campaign in Darlington resulted in second place but, in the process, we managed to Email: [email protected] reduce the majority by over 7,000 on the back of a 9.1% swing (twice the national average) so much to be pleased about. (DISCLAIMER: Any correspondence/ articles printed in the Warbler are entirely As to Council business, by the time you read this, we will have taken what I hope are the the responsibility of the contributor) final decisions for Ryedale’s planning strategy for years to come. This has been painstakingly slow work and I hope that this new Coalition Government allows us (i.e. locally accountable politicians) greater freedom of action in future. One of the most difficult (planning) challenges that we face is the provision of a sufficient quantity of affordable housing for local people. Finally, it is my intention to hold a series of ‘ward surgeries’ over the coming months. These are designed for individuals to see me face to face; voice their concerns and, provided they are matters which fall within the District Council’s remit, enable me to take the necessary action. The first ‘surgery’ will take place at Weaverthorpe Village Hall on Tuesday 15th June between 6.00 and 7.00 pm. Meanwhile, if you have any thoughts/views on the above or indeed anything else which falls within the District Council’s responsibility please feel free to e-mail me on [email protected] Lyke Wake Walkers hoping to raise donations Jack Fletcher, James Oliver, Vicki Rowland, Michael Rowland, Sue Thomson and Sarah Wilkinson will be attempting the Lyke Wake Walk in June. “Although a personal challenge for us all, we would also like to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support, in remembrance and celebration of the life of Jeff Oliver, father to Vicki & James. Jeff passed away in October 2009 after a bravely fought 18 month battle against cancer”. During this time the family received much appreciated support from the Macmillan Nurses in North Yorkshire. The Lyke Wake Walk is a complete (40 mile) crossing of the North Yorkshire Moors from Osmotherly to Ravenscar. Bill Cowley created the walk in 1955 and issued a challenge to walkers to cross the moors on foot from East to West within 24 hours. The walk's name originates from the Lyke Wake Dirge, probably Yorkshire's oldest dialect verse - which takes its name from watching (wake) over the corpse (lyke). The song tells of the soul's passage through the afterlife. The team are setting up a website with JustGiving.
