  • Draft LGAP Your Dales Rocks Project
    i ii The ‘Your Dales Rocks Project’ – A Draft Local Geodiversity Action Plan (2006-2011) for the Yorkshire Dales and the Craven Lowlands The Yorkshire Dales and Craven Lowlands have a diverse landscape that reflects the underlying geology and its history. The auditing and protection of this geodiversity is important to help preserve the landscape and the underlying geology. It is also important to help integrate the needs of the local population, education, recreation and science with quarrying and the National need for aggregate. This draft Action Plan sets out a framework of actions for auditing, recording and monitoring the geodiversity of the Dales and Craven lowlands. As its title indicates, it is a draft and subject to change as comments are made and incorporated. The implementation of the Action Plan is also dependent on funding becoming available. For this draft, the North Yorkshire Geodiversity Partnership is particularly thankful for the support of the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund from the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, administered by English Nature, and the Landscape, Access and Recreation side of the Countryside Agency. It is also very grateful to the organisations of the authors and steering group listed below (and whose logos appear on the front cover) that have invested staff time and money to make this draft Action Plan a reality.

NB This publication was originally issued in the 10 by 8 inch format then used by the society. It has now been digitised and reformatted at A5. This has changed the original pagination of articles, which is given in square brackets. SOME NOTES ON THE LEAD MINES OF GREENHOW HILL YORKSHIRE J.M. Dickinson The village of Greenhow lies approximately half way between Wharfedale and Nidderdale at a height of some 1,300 feet above sea level. This scattered community consists in reality of two villages; Greenhow Hill, situated between Greenhow and Coldstones Hill, and the much older village of Kell or Keld Houses. History does not record when man first came here in search of lead, but it is known that the mines were worked during the Roman occupation as three pigs of lead have been found which date from this period. One of these pigs discovered in 1735 bears the abbreviated inscription, ‘Imp. Caes. Domitiano. Aug. Cos. VII.’ which can be extended to Imperator Caesar Domitiano Augustus Consul. VII. This indicates that the pig was cast in 81 A.D. On the side of one of these early pieces appears the word ‘Brig’ denoting that the pig of lead was probably cast from lead mined by the local Brigantes.

Apologies Cllr Tom Watson Harrogate Borough Council attending another meeting. 3. Parishioner’s Representations. A parishioner brought the revised plans for the land opposite the Nidderdale High School on Low Wath Road to the Council’s attention. He said that local feeling was still steadfastly against the plan which was felt to be unacceptable in the AONB and to have been made even more problematic and dangerous by having the access moved to a position of the opposite side of the road and between the High School and Nursery entrances. This matter will be on the agenda for the next meeting. Council thanked him for his report. The Chair said he had had further communication about dog fouling on the riverside path near the summer car park. Cllr Fletcher was liaising with HBC Dog Wardens on this matter. The Chair said he had had representations from Pateley Bowling Club for help with the completion of work in their clubhouse. He felt that since the park was owned jointly by Pateley TC and Bewerley PC help should be given. Cllr Fort said that he would be able to help.

This report forms part of this review, being the 2012 Updating and Screening Assessment of air quality for the district. The report considers each pollutant listed in the air quality regulations; these are carbon monoxide, benzene, 1,3-butadiene, lead, nitrogen dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and PM10. The report follows on from the 2011 Progress Report and considers the changes in the local area since the previous Updating and Screening Assessment carried out in 2009. If, based on this information, it is considered that if any of the objectives are not likely to be achieved then a Detailed Assessment must be carried out. The report considers the results from monitoring carried out in 2011 and identifies York Place, Knaresborough as an area where further monitoring needs to be carried out to identify whether an exceedence is occurring at residential properties and identifies that the air quality objective has been exceeded at the Woodlands Junction, Wetherby Road. The report shows that there is continued exceedence of the Air Quality Objective at Bond End, Knaresborough and Low and High Skellgate, Ripon, and that the extent of the current Air Quality Management areas is correct.
