Long Term Mooring Price Review for Sites Within The RE-PRICING OF 12 MONTH MOORING PERMITS 2015 MOORING AREA REPORT FOR YORKSHIRE Introduction This report provides the rationale for mooring price decisions for 2015. VAT is payable at the rate set by the government for the date when the permit is purchased. Profiles of privately operated sites in the area are appended. We researched and compared their prices with the Canal & River Trust rates to inform our judgements, but because this data is commercially sensitive it has not been included. Local Market Overview Moorings are spread across the Yorkshire area between York to the North, Sheffield to the South, Goole to the East and to Leeds to the West. Main waterway access points to other areas are at; Keadby (River Trent – to the East Midlands) Marsden (Huddersfield Narrow Canal, inclusive of the Standedge Tunnel – to the North West) Leeds Basin (Leeds and Liverpool Canal – to the North West) Sowerby Bridge (Rochdale Canal – to the North West) Selby (River Ouse – to North Yorkshire and Humber) Goole (Aire and Calder Main Line – to the Humber) Sites within Yorkshire, that are along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, are included in the Pennines market area report. Both the Huddersfield Broad and Narrow Canals, classed as Pennine but in the Yorkshire region, do not have any directly managed mooring sites. In addition to our own long term moorings, there are circa 2400 berths provided by private operators. Thus the total market comprises of around 2800 berths. No new berths have been added to the Yorkshire area since the last review. Yorks 2015.pdf5 page 1 of 11 Analysis of auction vacancies Total Auctions Total Total Current (inc.

Challenges to Pricing Decisions We have made the pricing recommendations below based on a thorough review of auction results and local knowledge. It is our policy, set at Board level, to set prices which reflect market rates and to compete fairly with private operators. The Trust has neither powers nor duty to provide subsidised moorings. If you feel that the price decision made for your mooring site is unjustified having read this report, we ask that you write to the Head of Direct Managed Moorings explaining why you think it is the case. Please explain the reasoning for your challenge including evidence such as price and descriptions of nearby privately operated mooring sites. We will not amend the price without this evidence. We will consider your representation and respond in writing within two working weeks. If you are not satisfied with the response, you may request that the matter is dealt with through our formal complaints procedure. Yorks 2015.pdf5 page 3 of 11 Pricing Conclusions The table below summarises our site-by-site conclusions across the area. Prices include VAT @ 20%. Price 2014 from Site Name Notes on Pricing Decision Price April 2015 Aire & Calder Navigation This site is set just off an industrial landscape to the South of Leeds. Current issues with Knostrop Lock £70.08 £70.08 dredging mean that a fourth space cannot be auctioned. No real comparatives in the area and no improvements made. This popular site is based South of Leeds and is in a rural environment. These moorings have lighting, With little movement, spaces generally go quickly here and perform well Woodlesford Lit £98.84 £101.81 given the right size.

There have been no improvements made at this site this year with local competition being a boating club. Moorings based upon staging on the lock island. All the same attributes as the main site Whitley Lock Island £84.95 £84.95 but lower pricing to reflect loss of land based amenity and proximity to facilities, parking, etc. There have been no improvements made on this area of the site this year. Set in a rural area, this site hs very little churn and is popular at auction. The access road Pollington £83.92 £86.43 has been resurfaced over the last year at significant cost. This improvement has been greatly received, with further refurbishment of lighting, Yorks 2015.pdf5 page 4 of 11 Based in an inner city setting, pricing has continually been lowered at this site. Current Clarence Dock pricing, and split on berth sizes offered, has yielded significant results over the last year Leisure – up to £1,850.00 £1,850.00 with the site now being almost full. There is no comparative operator in this area and no 18.3m improvements have been made.

There is very Stanley Ferry, £120.39 £126.42 little churn on this part of the site and is extremely popular at auction. Reasonably close to Zone A the facilities which have seen improvements made this year. Set in a semi-rural area, this is the mid sized area of the Stanley Ferry site. There is little Stanley Ferry, £118.01 £123.91 churn on this part of the moorings and vacancies are always popular at auction. Zone B Reasonably close to the facilities which have seen improvements this year, Set in a semi-rural area, this is the largest area of the Stanley Ferry site. Due to its size, Stanley Ferry, there is a fairly large amount of churn with some form of space available on a regular £99.49 £101.98 Zone C basis. This site usually sells well at auction. There have been improvements made to the facilities block this year, This 3 berth site is based on the offside in a quiet rural area in between Kings Road and Stanley Ferry. There is no turnover at all at this site with the last space becoming available Birkwood Lock £76.81 £80.65 about 9 years ago, therefore, no auction data. There are no facilities at this site nor have there been any improvements. Local competitors don't really match the location, facilities or size.

Hon. Tom King Secretary of State for the Environment 1. As a consequence of suggestions which had arisen in the course of the review of their internal parish boundaries, the Boothferry Borough Council, in the non-metropolitan county of Humberside, asked us to carry out a review of parts of their district's boundaries with the District of Beverley (also in Humberside) and with the District of Selby (in the non-metropolitan county of North Yorkshire). The Borough Council sought the following changes: (i) the transfer to the parish of Broomfleet in Boothferry of part of the parish of South Cave in Beverley district: (ii) the transfer of part of the parish of Pollington in Boothferry to the parish of Balne in Selby division. 2. Having obtained the views of all the interested local authorities we considered the Council's requests, as required by Section 48(4) of the Local Government Act 1972. In doing so, we had regard to the guidelines contained.in the Department of the Environment Circular 33/78 and to our own Report No. 287. 3. We noted that the changes were miner, involved very small areas of land and affected a total of two residents. We also noted that with the exception of Humberside County Council, who wished to see no change, the changes were supported by all the local authorities involved.

This exhibition looks at some of the scandals, catastrophes and significant happenings that have occurred in Beverley: when they are all pulled together like this it’s a wonder the town is still standing! The events are presented in no particular order. Civil War Between 1639 and 1643 The people of the town were caught between the royalist Beverley was caught up in dominated area to the north and east and the Commonwealth area the Civil War, almost entirely in Hull and to the south.
