  • 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.

    BRIDGE December 2020/ January 2021 Newsletter of the parish of Middleham with Coverdale, East Witton & Thornton Steward With thanks to Liz Sheehan for this beautiful photo of the bridge over the Cover, beyond Woodall Please cascade ‘Bridge’ to others. Please email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the mailing list. THE GATE OF THE YEAR by Minnie Louise Haskins And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. George VI read this as part of his Christmas address in 1939. Though World War II had started, no one knew what 1940 would bring. Among other things the Battle of Britain would rage in the skies, and rationing would be introduced. As we stood at the gate of 2020, few of us would have imagined the year we’ve had. As we stand at the gate of 2021, we are hopeful of a vaccine for Covid-19, but we don’t know what the year will bring, personally, nationally or internationally. The person in the poem who stands at the gate of the year, wants to know what is going to happen – they ask for a light so that they can see.

  • Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places & Polling Stations
    Elect ra Elections – polling arrangements Review of polling districts, polling places & polling stations Background information and the Returning Officer’s proposals If you have any comments or questions please contact: Electoral Registration Officer Richmondshire District Council Mercury House Station Road Richmond North Yorkshire DL10 4JX [email protected] or or complete an online survey at www.richmondshire.gov.uk/surveys/polling by 13 September 2019. Polling District and Places Review 2018/2019 Background Within each Local Authority area, legislation requires Councils to carry out reviews of Polling Districts and Polling Places in that area. The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing of compulsory reviews and the next review must be held between 1 October 2018 and 31 January 2020 with subsequent reviews held within a 16 month period starting on 1 October every fifth year after 1 October 2018. The Council’s last review was held in 2013 when a number of minor changes were made. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) carried out a District Ward Boundary Review and published their final proposals in May 2018. The number of wards reduced from 24 to 16 and took effect at the District Council Elections on 2 May 2019. The majority of our current polling station allocations were not affected by the new Ward Boundary arrangements, however three areas would have been affected. Council at its meeting on 24 July 2018 approved a review of the current polling station allocations for Colburn, Gayles and Richmond parishes as a result of revisions to their parish electoral arrangements.

Please cascade ‘Bridge’ to others. Please email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the mailing list. Letter from the Rectory Liz and I watched a film recently called Roman J. Israel. The title was the name of a black civil rights lawyer in America. Roman was a brilliant lawyer with an encyclopaedic legal brain. Yet he was rather socially awkward and couldn’t do the courtroom side of things. This is where his partner came in. He was the quick-witted courtroom gladiator. Roman provided the ammunition, his partner used it. Being an advocate for the marginalised was Roman’s motivation and he was paid in a week what industry colleagues were paid in an hour. Things go drastically wrong for Roman when his business partner is suddenly taken ill and dies. It turns out that the firm is insolvent and faces closure. He tries to save it by attempting the courtroom role himself but this does more harm than good and him being charged with contempt of court. Things also go wrong outside the business as he is mugged and, on another occasion when he seeks to help a victim of violence, he is penalised for trying to help. Roman ends up thinking is his virtuous life worth it when all around him the less virtuous prosper? This question chimes with people of faith.
