FINANCE 4.1 External Audit process now due – completed audit documents to be sent to PKF Littlejohn Information re additional requirement needed from this audit onwards (re reserves held within accounts) Issue to be discussed. The new and additional requirement for this audit and onwards is the requirement to detail any council reserves held which exceed the precept for the audit year by more than 100% (ie more than twice the precept). GPC has always held a reserve which fluctuates year on year and which sometimes exceeds this arbitrary threshold pending spend on unforseen and also planned project expenditure. This years audit has also included a £20k grant receipt (for the Glaisdale footpath project) which has inflated these reserves to what seems to be an excessive amount. Explanatory notes have been added to the Variance document to account for this level of reserve to the external auditor. 4.2 Request for pre-application advice for part route of Glaisdale footpath project. - reply received. NYMNPA Planning have replied to the enquiry regarding pre-application advice for the section of footpath planned which crosses the common next to Woodocks Bank. The reply indicated that it is extremely likely that a full planning application will be needed and that a prudent approach would be to apply for pre application advice to ensure all requirements are dealt with in advance to speed the application through the process. Members considered that, as the advice given was that full permission will be required, it will be quicker to initiate the full application at the outset. Cllr MH proposed that the cost of making this application be approved (to be advised), seconded by Cllr CF. All members in agreement. Clerk to action the payment when application is submitted by Cllr MH. 4.3 Covid 19 – Welcome Back Funding opportunity. SBC have advised that there is a grant award of £2500 available to GPC from the Govt Covid 19 Welcome Back Fund – to be spent on suitable Covid 19 mitigation/recovery projects. Members have identified several potential uses for this money and the application form should be submitted before end June 2021. Members suggested : ◦ Improvement to various access routes throughout the parish villages. ◦ Permanent planting areas around all of the village entry signs. ◦ Improvement to village sporting facilities to encourage greater use and community health. Clerk to submit the application prior to the closure date. Page 2 of 4 Glaisdale Parish Council Mr D.

  • The North York Moors Re-Visited
    The Yorkshire Archaeological & Historical Society The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS The North York Moors Re-visited Anthony Silson BSc (Hons) MSc PGCE FRGS Key words: physical environment; agricultural land use; rural settlement; services; tourism; transport; urban settlement. Thirty or so years ago, I wrote an essay about The North York Moors for the BBC Domesday Survey (Silson 1986). This new essay examines the extent to which changes have occurred since then. Shortly after the first article was published in1986, I was interested enough to do further field work on the area so some information used here is for 1985 and some for 1986. Likewise contemporary fieldwork was undertaken in both 2015 and 2016. The area allocated to me in 1985 excluded the eastern part of the region administered by The North York Moors National Park Authority, hereafter: NYMNPA, but included some peripheral areas administered by Hambleton and Ryedale District Councils. The same area is discussed in this essay, and the extent of the area is delimited in Figure 1. This essay is illustrated by plates located near the end. Figure 1 Morpholgical features of The North York Moors Physical Environment The North York Moors is a tectonically relatively stable inland area (Goudie 1990). Hence its morphology has scarcely had time to change in a mere thirty years. An example of a very small change has been the making of a small pond about two km to the east of Thirsk. But the major morphological contrasts continue to be controlled by lithological contrasts in underlying rocks (Straw and Clayton 1979).

  • Mead Narrative
    MEAD The earliest ancestors in this line are 3x great grandparents John MEAD and Margaret PORRITT who married in Whitby, Yorkshire on 21 November 1826. 1 John was born c. 1769 2 and it is highly likely that he was the son of Francis and Jane MEAD whose son John, was baptised in Whitby on 8 January 1769. 3 Margaret was born in Newton, Yorkshire c.1792/3. 4 We cannot be positive where ‘Newton’ is but it may refer to Newton Mulgrave which lies between the parishes of Hilderwell, Roxby and Lythe. 5 There is also a parish of Newton about ten miles to the east but although the registers are included on the family search index, no baptisms for Margaret PORRITTs around the correct date are recorded for this Newton. 6 Baptisms of Margaret PORRITTs occur in both Hilderwell and Lythe c.1792/3, 7 so more information is needed before Margaret’s ancestry can be confirmed. Although John would have been in his fifties at the time of his marriage, there is no evidence of an earlier marriage in Whitby. 8 John and Margaret’s only known child, John , was baptised in Whitby on 11 January 1832, 9 having been born in the hamlet of Ruswarp. 10 John Mead senior farmed at Carr Hill, Ruswarp, Whitby, North Yorkshire. 11 He died on 22 May 1844 of apoplexy 12 and was buried at St. Mary’s, Whitby on 24 May 1844. 13 In 1851 John junior and his mother Margaret were still running the farm at Carr Hill.

  • Covid 19: Community Support Arrangements for the Borough of Scarborough (Updated 25 March 2020) Community Support Organisations
    Covid 19: Community Support Arrangements for the Borough of Scarborough (updated 25 March 2020) NYCC, the Borough Council and the Voluntary and Community sector have been working together over the last week or so to establish a clear, co-ordinated system to provide support for people that need it as a result of the Covid 19 crisis. This is particularly aimed at those people who do not have family, friends or a wider support structure that can provide support in the first instance. There are a number of partners working together to provide this support but all elements are working together so ensure that people who need support get the help they need. Community Support Organisations (CSO’s) Across North Yorkshire there are 23 identified community support organisations who will co- ordinate local trusted groups and volunteers to support people in their community. This includes: Supporting vulnerable people with tasks such as delivering prescriptions, buying and delivering shopping, running urgent errands. Providing emotional and social support via telephone or skype Signposting to other support Offering advice on services available and local businesses offering delivery and collection of essentials. CSO will also administer the North Yorkshire Local Assistance Scheme for Covid 19 related support which provides financial support in the form of e-vouchers to purchase food where people have no access to funds. There are two lead community support organisations locally through which the above support will be co-ordinated. The CSO’s are working with the Borough and County Councils and a wide range of other groups to deliver the support required.

  • Advisory Visit for the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and Glaisdale Angling Club
    Advisory Visit for the North Yorkshire Moors National Park and Glaisdale Angling Club River Esk, North Yorkshire 13 th June 2013 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Gareth Pedley of the th Wild Trout Trust, to the River Esk, on 13 June 2013. Comments in this report are based on observations on the day of the visit and discussions with Simon Hirst (North Yorkshire Moors National Park - River Esk Project Officer), Andrew Delaney (Environment Agency Fisheries Officer), and Gareth Jones, Ian Whisker and Mike Greening of Glaisedale Angling Club. Normal convention is applied throughout the report with respect to bank identification, i.e. the banks are designated left hand bank (LB) or right hand bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Location coordinates are given using the Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference system. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The River Esk rises on the North Yorkshire Moors, flowing in an easterly direction, to discharge into the North Sea at Whitby. Although once resembling open woodland/heathland, the deforestation by Neolithic man cleared large areas of the catchment. This clearance started degeneration of the thin soils, which became depleted of nutrients and prone to erosion once the woodland cover was removed, leading to a collapse of upland farming. Now some woodlands do exist, but most are associated with the river valley, and in many cases, only form a narrow band along the riparian corridor. The upper reaches of the river, including many of the upper tributaries, now originate in relatively open moorland, with little vegetation, other than heather, gorse and grass.

  • YEAT CGL Educational Visits Policy
    Lealholm, Castleton and Glaisdale Primary Schools Policy for Educational Visits, Outdoor Learning and Adventurous Activities Document Status Date of the creation/ Reason for review Date of next review Reviewer approval body review April 2021 Update to the Local April 2024 Trustees Learning Area SILG FRAR LGB LGB-Finance CEO Headteacher Introduction This policy sets out the establishment procedures within which all employees must operate. Further details can be gained by referring to the Employer Policy as detailed in Section 2. Every young person should experience the world beyond the classroom as an essential part of learning and personal development, whatever their age, ability or circumstances. Learning beyond the classroom is the use of places other than the classroom for teaching and learning. It is about getting children and young people out and about, providing them with challenging, exciting and different experiences to help them learn. It is about raising achievement through an organised, powerful approach to learning in which direct experience is of prime importance. This is not only about what we learn but importantly how and where we learn. It is not an end in itself but rather a vehicle to develop the capacity to learn. Good quality learning beyond the classroom adds much value to classroom learning. 1. Scope and responsibilities This policy applies to all educational visits, outdoor learning and adventurous activities carried out with young people. It does not apply to work-experience placements, work related learning or alternative provision. The Headteacher of Lealholm retains the role of the Educational Visits Coordinator. They will have the training and experience to enable them to competently discharge their responsibilities as listed in The Employer Policy.
