Settle Area Swimming Pool locked down on 20 March and we were able to place all our staff on the Government furlough scheme. We are waiting for guidance on reopening swimming pools and leisure centres from the Government and Swim England due on 15th June. We already have guidance from the Swimming Teachers’ Association, Royal Life Saving Society and Health and Safety Executive. It is clear that when we reopen we will be required to put in place new systems to ensure social distancing and additional hygiene. Obviously we will undertake a thorough risk assessment to ensure we are able to comply with all guidance and as soon as we have a reopening date we will send you further information. Thank you for your responses to the recent survey. Rebuilding the Pool Regular customers of Settle Pool will know that there are some aspects of the pool that need improving and modernising, such as our reception area, changing facilities and more space for more dry-side activities. These will all improve our facilities for the Settle community and help to keep us financially stable. Grants and donations We have been awarded £10,000 by Sport England to help with keeping the pool in business during lockdown – utilities, maintenance etc. The Settle Rotary Club has also kindly donated a very generous £2,000 and there have been several donations from generous individuals and businesses including Bar 13 in Settle, Bentham Town Council, and several Parish Councils. Thank you! Can we afford to build?-yes, nearly!! Members have helped Staff, Trustees and Friends of the Pool to raise funds for the building project for a number of years. As you know we had to use some of these funds to replace our 40 year old boilers at the beginning of the year. Two years ago we applied to Sport England for a large grant which would help us to start 4 this process. Its taken a long time to receive a result, but in May this year we heard that we had been awarded £135,000 which takes us closer to the target for rebuilding. This is sufficient for us to submit a planning application and begin the preparation for building this summer. We will share these plans with members when the current restrictions allow. Paper recycling news Our paper recycling scheme, based in the carpark outside Settle pool, has raised a phenomenal quarter of a million pounds over the years. It has helped to pay for pool improvements, transport for school swimming and support for the Swimming and Disabled Clubs. Funds are also making an important contribution to our rebuilding plans. Although our recycling closed due to Covid and rock bottom prices for paper, recently the world price has risen, and we may be able to open again.

  • Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes
    Malhamdale and Southern/South Western Dales Fringes + Physical Influences Malhamdale The landscape of Malhamdale is dominated by the influence of limestone, and includes some of the most spectacular examples of this type of scenery within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and within the United Kingdom as a whole. Great Scar limestone dominates the scenery around Malham, attaining a thickness of over 200m. It was formed in the Carboniferous period, some 330 million years ago, by the slow deposition of shell debris and chemical precipitates on the floor of a shallow tropical sea. The presence of faultlines creates dramatic variations in the scenery. South of Malham Tarn is the North Craven Fault, and Malham Cove and Gordale Scar, two miles to the south, were formed by the Mid Craven Fault. Easy erosion of the softer shale rocks to the south of the latter fault has created a sharp southern edge to the limestone plateau north of the fault. This step in the landscape was further developed by erosion during the various ice ages when glaciers flowing from the north deepened the basin where the tarn now stands and scoured the rock surface between the tarn and the village, leading later to the formation of limestone pavements. Glacial meltwater carved out the Watlowes dry valley above the cove. There are a number of theories as to the formation of the vertical wall of limestone that forms Malham Cove, whose origins appear to be in a combination of erosion by ice, water and underground water. It is thought that water pouring down the Watlowes valley would have cascaded over the cove and cut the waterfall back about 600 metres from the faultline, although this does not explain why the cove is wider than the valley above.

  • Advisory Visit River Ribble, Settle September 2011
    Advisory Visit River Ribble, Settle September 2011 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin and Gareth Pedley of the Wild Trout Trust to the River Ribble, Settle, North Yorkshire on 12th September, 2011. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the site visit and discussions with Bob Garnett, Mike Harding, John Walker and Arthur Padgett of Settle Anglers’ Association (www.settleanglers.co.uk) and Neil Handy, Environment Agency Fisheries Officer. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LHB) or right hand bank (RHB) whilst looking downstream. 2.0 Catchment and Reach Overview The River Ribble rises in the Yorkshire Dales and flows broadly south west to join the Irish Sea below Preston. The reach seen during this visit was north and south of the town of Settle, North Yorkshire between grid references SD 82201 65907 (upstream) and SD 80733 61277 (downstream) (Figure 1). The river here crosses the south-western edge of the Yorkshire Dales into the Forest of Bowland Natural Area (www.naturalareas.naturalengland.org.uk/Science/natural/NA_search.asp), occupying a transitional area between the upland, predominantly limestone areas of the Dales and the flatter valley floor with a geology of millstone grit overlain by glacial till. Land use in the vicinity of the river (outside Settle town) is largely livestock farming and most of the land appears to be in Entry Level Stewardship (the most basic level of agri-environment agreement), with small areas in Higher Level Stewardship and Countryside Stewardship (e.g.

  • Public Accountability Meeting
    Public Accountability Meeting Public Questions – Local Priorities (27 February 2018) Questions asked by the public about policing matters in their local area have been answered by Julia Mulligan, your elected Police and Crime Commissioner. Questions and answers are grouped by area as per the meeting. We have grouped similar issues within those sections so that you can see what others are asking and how we have responded to them, and then alphabetically by surname. County Command (Harrogate, Craven, Richmondshire and Hambleton) Concern: Low level crime and anti-social behaviour Question from Richard Christian, BluSkills Ltd “Do you feel that the community’s concerns regarding anti-social behaviour are as a result of a draw down in Police and PCSO presence on the street, with Police moving to vehicle bourne reactive tactics instead of community policing and foot/bike patrols? Do you see this as an issue and are you looking to address it? “I see many early teen aged groups loitering in kids play areas and on the streets. Most of these areas are poorly lit and offer cover for smoking of recreational drugs and alcohol. How are you working with local authorities as part of a prevent strategy to create dedicated spaces and activities for the younger generations to enjoy positively rather than turning to anti-social behaviour and is there a desire to light areas which currently offer a safe haven for drug taking.” Answer: A central part of my role as Commissioner is to be the voice of the public, and I have made it clear through the ‘Reinforcing Local Policing’ priority in the Police and Crime Plan that local policing remains important to the public.

Yorkshire Dales Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment 1 2 3 White Paper , Biodiversity 2020 and the European Landscape Convention , we North are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are East areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good Yorkshire decision-making framework for the natural environment. & The North Humber NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their West decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape East scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader Midlands partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help West Midlands to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. East of England Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key London drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are South East suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance South West on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future.

  • Traditional Farm Buildings Survey
    National Character Area 21 Yorkshire Dales Summary The Yorkshire Dales is a large scale upland landscape of high moorland, dissected by often deep dales, which forms part of the Pennine uplands running up the centre of Northern England. It is separated from the North Pennines by the Stainmore Trough faults and from the more industrialised South Pennines by the Craven Faults. Just 0.3% of the area is urban, 4% is woodland, and 26% is upland grazing. 71% of the area falls within the Yorkshire Dales National Park and 17% within the Nidderdale AONB. 30% of the area is designated as SSSI. The key farmstead characteristics are: Landscape and Settlement $! !"#$%&'(!)*!+&,-(.%(/!.+/!/#01('0(/!0(%%-(2(+%3!(0%.4-#05(/!#+!%5(!2(/#(6.-!1('#)/!.+/!-.%('3!0(%!#+!.!-.+/0,.1(! with a long history of enclosure. $! !7#85!/(+0#%9!)*!*.'20%(./0!.+/!*#(-/!4.'+0!#+!%5(!-.+/0,.1(:!;5(!5#85(0%!/(+0#%#(0!.'(!,)22)+-9!.00),#.%(/!<#%5! small-scale fields in the pastoral upper dales, and the miner-farmer landscapes of the northern dales.

  • Long Preston Bird Report 2018
    Long Preston Bird Report 2018 Compiled by Ian Court The Long Preston Floodplain Project is a partnership between the RSPB, Natural England, the Environment Agency, the Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust, North Yorkshire County Council, the Ribble Rivers Trust, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, local landowners and farmers Introduction Long Preston Deeps is in the area of the upper Ribble valley between Long Preston and Settle, lying between the Forest of Bowland and Yorkshire Dales National Park. This unique area of lowland wet grassland stretches from Settle south to Cow Bridge, where the Wigglesworth to Long Preston Road crosses the river and is bordered on the east by Long Preston and the A65 and the Wigglesworth to Rathmell road on the west. Long Preston Recording Area The recording area combines the Long Preston Wetland Grassland Project area and the adjacent area to the south, including Hellifield Flash. A map of the recording area that includes details of access points can be found on the following page. The conservation management that has been implemented by the project has only been possible because of the close cooperation with the local farmers, other land users and local residents. We would ask that visitors are considerate when parking and do not block any access. Visitors should also be aware that fishermen are regularly present along the river and wildfowling takes place between 1st September and 31st January. In order to maintain these positive relationships, the project would like to remind visitors that the Long Preston floodplain is in private ownership and should only be accessed using the public rights of way shown on the project trail map.
