  • Melsonby Parish Plan Consultation 2011
    Melsonby Parish Plan Consultation 2011 Melsonby Parish Plan Consultation Brief history Melsonby is a very old village aligned East/ West along the Waterfall Beck, with holdings behind the properties to North and South. The older houses are built from stones from the beck with pantile or flag rooves and the centre of the village is a conservation area, with some listed properties. There is a crossroads at the centre of the village, where the North/South road crosses the beck and where newer houses are located. The green in the centre of the village was former farmland purchased in the 1950s by the Parish Council. A referendum with a 50/50 result led to half of the Waterfall Beck being culverted and half left open. The Church of St James the Great was present before the Norman Conquest and had its own priest in the Domesday Book. The present church dates from 1135 and was restored in 1871-2. In the 19th century there were a Church of England School and a Methodist School and a Methodist Chapel. 1 | P a g e Melsonby Parish Plan Consultation 2011 In the 1960s the C of E School closed and after a brief period as a village hall was sold by the Church for housing. In 2003, the Methodist School was gutted and a new school was built within the old walls. In 2008? the land behind the school was excavated to provide a new hall and kitchen with a sedum roof and after 50 years, the children no longer needed to walk through the village to the old canteen for lunch.

  • Car Parking Charges for the Station, Richmond Swimming
    CAR PARKING CHARGES FOR THE STATION, RICHMOND SWIMMING POOL AND GYM CUSTOMERS ARE ON THE WAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FAIRER IF YOU ACT IMMEDIATELY BY EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS Richmondshire District Council is proposing to introduce car parking charges in The Station Yard Car Park this spring. We understand that the ticket machines have been ordered . This car park is currently used by customers of The Station, Richmond Swimming Pool and Liberty Gym. All of these buildings and the activities which take place in them are organised and maintained through the efforts of two local volunteer-led charities: The Station – Is operated by The Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust The Pool and Gym – Are operated by the Richmond Leisure Trust If you regularly use these ‘much loved’ charity-run-facilities , and choose to park your vehicle in the council owned Station Yard Car Park, you will shortly be charged for your visit. The charities that operate these facilities believe that what is being proposed will have an immediate and detrimental impact on these community amenities which are run on a ‘not-for profit’ basis - and could ultimately force them to close. The local authority appear to have little or no relevant research on which to justify their position. Your help is needed NOW to ensure that the views of people like you, who value The Station, pool and gym, to make your voices heard on this critical issue by writing to or phoning your district councillor, if you live in Richmondshire or writing to the head of the local authority if you don't.

  • Richmondshire District Council Does Not Currently Meet the Criteria for Electoral Inequality Ie
    District Ward Boundary Review Richmondshire District Council Stage One - Council Size Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (April 2017) 1 Introduction The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is an independent body that is responsible for conducting boundary and electoral reviews of principal authorities in England. Richmondshire District Council does not currently meet the criteria for electoral inequality ie. 30% of wards having a variance greater than +/- 10% of the average electorate per Member, however this threshold is likely to be reached in the very near future. As a result the Council decided in July 2016 to request the LGBCE to undertake an electoral review. This request was accepted and the review was included in their programme. The electoral review will examine whether the boundaries of wards within the local authority area need to be altered to ensure fair representation at the local government elections. In Richmondshire it has been identified that six of the twenty four wards have imbalances. The table below sets out the current imbalances in the District. No (%) Number of wards (>10%) 5 Number of wards (>20%) 0 Number of wards (>30%) 1 The Wards with the above variances are: (%) Brompton-on-Swale & Scorton 11% Hipswell 12% Hornby Castle 29% Middleton Tyas -14% Scotton -12% Swaledale -11% The main reasons for the electoral inequality arises from new housing developments, under registration of service personnel and population changes, the detail of which will be explained in the following sections. North Yorkshire County Council is not within the LGBCE programme for review and the County Council have indicated they will not be requesting a review of the County Divisions.

  • Middleton Tyas and Moulton Village News
    Middleton Tyas and Moulton Village News No. 450 July/August 2014 On a less exuberant note, this is the time of year when many of us will have family and friends coming to stay. People who perhaps don’t have to be so conscious as we do about what you can safely put down the toilet! Please warn your guests not to dispose of children’s wet wipes, moist toilet tissues, make up remover wipes or anything else made of non woven tissue, regardless of what it may say on the packet. They can cause (and already have done more than once this year) awful problems for the unfortunate people whose drains are further downstream. I leave the rest to your imagination. Happy holidays! All systems go! Summer time… … and the living is easy, or so the song goes. Not too easy for the first couple of weeks of July though. We’ve still got the Best Kept Village challenge to rise to yet. Keep watering those hanging baskets, dead-heading the roses, pulling up weeds that show from the road and whatever else it takes to make our villages look especially cheerful and cared-for. Even if you wouldn’t know a cabbage rose from a bunch of carrots you can help by ensuring that bins left out for collection are brought in promptly and stowed away out of sight.
