Introduction The red fox (Vulpes vulpes L.) is a member of the family Canidae, a group of ten genera and 35 species including wolves, jackals and the domestic dog, as well as 12 species of fox in the genus Vulpes (Macdonald 2001). In addition to the red fox, the arctic fox (Alopex lagopus) was present in late glacial times (see Appendix 3.1) but only the wolf (Canis lupus) and domestic dog (Canis familiaris) have been present in Britain’s post- glacial fauna. The wolf became extinct in England perhaps in the late 13th century (Yalden 1999), and the domestic dog generally failed or has not been allowed by human influence to form self-sustaining feral populations. Sub-fossil fox remains have been identified in cave sediments and prehistoric archaeological excavations from 13 sites across Yorkshire representing a range of geological and cultural periods.

  • North Yorkshire County Council Selby and Ainsty Area Constituency Committee – 11 June 2021 Update on Selby District Places and Movement Study
    North Yorkshire County Council Selby and Ainsty Area Constituency Committee – 11 June 2021 Update on Selby District Places and Movement Study 1.0 Purpose of the Report 1.1 To provide a progress report on the Selby District Places and Movement Study. 2.0 Update 2.2 The Selby Places and Movement study was commissioned in Summer 2020, jointly by NYCC and Selby District Council (SDC). The aim of the study is to consider how congestion could be reduced, how air quality could be improved and how the highway network might be adapted to support improved movement for all modes. In addition to this, the study also considers the place making agenda in the towns in question. 2.3 The study was commissioned covering the areas of Selby, Sherburn in Elmet and Tadcaster, and was funded by the YNYLEP, the NYCC major scheme development budget and Selby District Council. 2.4 A series of workshops, including elected members, officers and partner organisations have taken place at various stages throughout the process to allow dissemination of information and opportunity to input into options and make suggestions. 2.5 During the optioneering process, working in partnership with planning colleagues, it became apparent that work on the Tadcaster option would clash with Selby district local plan development options, therefore work on that particular element of the study was paused. Work on the Tadcaster elements of the study will resume once the local plan consultation has concluded. The funding that remained for the Tadcaster elements of the study has been diverted to additional modelling of the Selby options.

  • Riverside School
    RIVERSIDE SCHOOL PROPOSED CHANGE OF THE SCHOOL’S SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS CHARACTERISTICS East Riding of Yorkshire Council is proposing to change the type of need catered for at Riverside School to support children with severe and complex needs. Local Authority Details Pupil Services Children, Families and Schools East Riding of Yorkshire Council County Hall Cross Street Beverley East Riding of Yorkshire HU17 9BA School Details Riverside School is a Community Special School and the school address is: Riverside School Ainsty Street Goole East Riding of Yorkshire DN14 5JS Description of Alteration and Evidence of Demand East Riding of Yorkshire Council is proposing to change the type of need catered for at the school. The school is currently registered to cater for pupils with the following special educational needs:- SEN Priority 1 – Moderate Learning Difficulty SEN Priority 2 – Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Speech, Language and Communication The proposed special educational needs provision at the school would be for pupils with severe and complex learning needs. East Riding of Yorkshire currently has three special schools that cater for the learning needs of a range of children and young people; between them they admit those with severe, complex and moderate learning difficulties, details of the three schools are below. Capacity in the three special schools proves less than demand and as a result, year on year we have many children and young people placed in special provision administered by neighbouring local authorities including Kingston Upon Hull and North Yorkshire, and a further group that attend schools in the independent and private sector. The change in the description of the school’s special educational needs characteristics is to provide uniformity of provision across all three of East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s special schools and to ensure that parents are aware that each school is able to meet the same level of needs as the others.

  • The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey
    Introduction: The West Riding in the Late Seventeenth Century by David Hey Not only was Yorkshire by far the largest of the ancient counties of England, at 1,709,307 acres, but the West Riding alone exceeded in size every other county except Lincolnshire. The word riding is derived from the late Old English ‘thrithing’ or ‘thriding’, itself adapted from an Old Norse loan word, meaning a third part. Wapentake, similarly derived, was the equivalent of the Anglo-Saxon hundred, and came from the symbolic flourishing of weapons to signify agreement when decisions were made in open-air assemblies at convenient sites, such as a river crossing or by a stone cross.1 The wapentakes continued to see to the levying of taxes, the raising of the militia and the maintenance of law and order and did not finally disappear until the reorganisation of local government in 1974. The West Riding was divided into eleven wapentakes: Ainsty, Agbrigg, Barkston Ash, Claro, Ewcross, Morley, Osgoldcross, Skyrack, Staincliffe, Staincross and Strafforth. The Ainsty, bounded by the rivers Ure, Ouse and Wharfe, had been annexed by Henry VI (d. 1471), king of England, to the city of York, as the county of the city, which was independent of all three ridings, but it was still considered to be a West Riding wapentake. The wapentakes were divided into townships, the vills of medieval documents. In the eastern parts of the West Riding many townships were coterminous with the ecclesiastical parishes and were referred to as parishes in the hearth tax returns, but the large moorland parishes in the west contained numerous townships.

  • Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment
    Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework: resource assessment A report prepared for the Yorkshire Archaeological Research Framework Forum and for English Heritage – project number 2936 RFRA S. Roskams and M. Whyman (Department of Archaeology, University of York) 2005 ABSTRACT This report represents the outcome of research undertaken into the archaeological resources of Yorkshire, using data gathered by SMRs, museums and commercial contractors. It describes the background to the project and its objectives, and the methods used to draw evidence from these diverse sources into a single database. It then proceeds to describe patterning in the data thus collected and collated, first at a general level across the region, then on a chronological basis from the Palaeolithic to Early Modern periods. In each period, the implications of this patterning for archaeological understanding of Yorkshire are drawn out.

  • “Does Sexual Orientation Still Matter? the Impact of LGBT Candidate
    “Does sexual orientation still matter? The impact of LGBT candidate identity on vote share in the UK elections of 2015.” Andrew Reynolds and Gabriele Magni University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill In this paper we address the following question: In the United Kingdom, a country that has had a long history of homophobia curtailed by a recent and rapid period of transformation, does sexual orientation and gender identity remain a factor at election time? While the transformation of British law in the area of gay rights has been pronounced over the last fifteen years (most notably the equalization of the Age of Consent in 2000, the abolition of Section 28 of the Local Government Act in 2003, the introduction of civil unions in 2004 and of marriage equality in 2013) there remains much homophobia in British society. A 2013 report by Stonewall, Gay in Britain, found that the vast majority of lesbian and gay people in Britain expected their child to be bullied in school, that they faced prejudice in becoming a school governor, that they would be treated worse than straight people by the police and prison service, and that they would face barriers if they wanted to adopt or foster a child. One in five had experienced verbal bullying from colleagues or customers in the previous five years.1 Indeed, pernicious legal discrimination has left a legacy in many social realms and in some regions (most notably Northern Ireland) legal discrimination remains.
