    Minutes of a meeting of Leyburn Town Council held in the Oak Room, Thornborough Hall on Monday, 15th July 2019 at 7.00pm PRESENT: Cllr Alderson Cllr Beswick Cllr Holder Cllr Medley Cllr Sanderson Cllr Waites Cllr Walker IN ATTENDANCE: Cllr Sedgwick Mrs C Smith- Clerk Ms Rebecca Hurst- Deputy Clerk Representatives from the Police and Hambleton & Richmondshire Fire Service Four members of the public 4229. PUBLIC REPRESENTATIONS Residents raised concerns over the increase in dog fouling in the Rowan Court area and expressed dissatisfaction with the standard of the verges cutting. Cllr Sedgewick reported back to the Council on a meeting attended with the highways improvement manager to discuss the safety of Moor rd. Highways responded to the following four proposed solutions to improve pedestrian safety; 1. A painted footway on the road –May give false sense of security to pedestrians. 2. Waiting restrictions painted on the carriageway-This would prevent parking on the road, however the highways consider that the parked cars act as traffic calming and slow the traffic down. 3. A pedestrian activated sign 4. Creating a priority over oncoming vehicles- This may cause congestion of traffic backing up the road. Cllr Sedgewick concluded by informing the Council that the highways do not consider Moor Road safety as a high priority, therefore no further steps will be taken at the moment due to financial restrictions. Cllr Sedgewick also updated the council that Metcalfe farms have installed signage at the end of their road instructing traffic to turn right to try to reduce the traffic on Moor Road.

  • Yorkshire Swale Flood History 2013
    Yorkshire Swale flood history 2013 Sources The greater part of the information for the River Swale comes from a comprehensive PhD thesis by Hugh Bowen Willliams to the University of Leeds in 1957.He in turn has derived his information from newspaper reports, diaries, local topographic descriptions, minutes of Local Authority and Highway Board and, further back in time, from Quarter Sessions bridge accounts. The information is supplemented by various conversations which Williams had with farmers who owned land adjacent to the river. Where possible the height of the flood at the nearest cross- section of the place referred to in the notes is given. This has either been levelled or estimated from the available data. Together with the level above Ordnance Datum (feet) and the section in question there is given (in brackets) the height of the flood above normal water level. Information is also included from the neighbouring dales (mainly Wensleydale and Teesdale) as this gives some indication of conditions in Swaledale. Williams indicates that this is by no means a complete list, but probably contains most of the major floods in the last 200 years, together with some of the smaller ones in the last 70 years. Date and Rainfall Description sources 11 Sep 1673 Spate carried away dwelling house at Brompton-on-Swale. Burnsell Bridge on the Wharfe was washed away.

  • This Walk Description Is from Happyhiker.Co.Uk Gunnerside
    This walk description is from happyhiker.co.uk Gunnerside Round Starting point and OS Grid reference Centre of Gunnerside village (SD 951982) Ordnance Survey map OL 30 Yorkshire Dales – Northern and Central Distance 9 Miles Traffic light rating Introduction: This is a walk of varied interest from the brilliant views over the lovely upper reaches of remote Swaledale as you follow its course around Black Hill and Ivelet Moor, to the remains of lead mining by Gunnerside Gill. Also in Gunnerside Gill are the extensive remains of Blakethwaite Smelt Mill with information boards. To get the best views of Swaledale, the walk follows a path high up the sides of Black Hill but it mainly follows the contours of the hill so is a relatively easy walk, although there are one or two places where it is necessary to cross shale. The walk up Swinner Gill is only moderately steep. Also the path is narrow and close to the edge in places but should not present undue hazard with care. There is a much easier track which follows the banks of the river Swale itself but then you do not get the benefit of the best views. The walk starts at Gunnerside which is on the B6270 between Reeth and Keld in Swaledale. There is free parking in the village centre by the river bridge (SD 951982) There are also public toilets. Start: Start the walk by taking the lane to the left of the cottage called Greystones with the red pillar-box in its wall. Look out for a small low level sign on the right to Ivelet.
