  • 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.

  • Flamborough Head, Filey Brigg to South Bay: Prediction of 50-Year Cliff Recession Distances
    Flamborough Head, Filey Brigg to South Bay: Prediction of 50-Year Cliff Recession Distances Dr Mark Lee, CGeol, FICE 1 Introduction This short report has been prepared in response to the request from Natural England for advice relating to the following coastal cliff sites: the Filey Brigg SSSI; the Gristhorpe Bay and Redcliff SSSI; the proposed SSSI extension between Filey Brigg and Gristhorpe Bay; the Cayton, Cornelian and South Bays SSSI. the Flamborough Head SSSI; the Flamborough Head and Bempton Cliffs SPA; The specific casework question to be addressed relates to the expected 50-year cliff recession distance along these clifflines. These predictions are required to underpin the site notification. The assessment has involved: 1. Review of recession prediction methods; this draws on recent research into the reliability of various prediction methods to estimate recession along the Holderness coast (Lee, 2011); 2. Identification of cliff units; these are lengths of cliffline with broadly consistent geological materials (bedrock and glacial deposits), exposure to wave attack and cliff types (Figure 1) and shoreline forms. Over the long-term, they can be expected to retreat at relatively uniform rates i.e. a single 50-year retreat prediction should apply for the whole unit. 3. Assessment of historical recession rates for each cliff unit, based on a review of available reports (e.g. Fururecoast, SMP2 reports, NECAG monitoring reports). 4. Development of 50-year predictions, providing both upper and lower-bound estimates, taking account of the historical recession rates and the expected impact of relative sea-level rise (RSLR). The stages are described in the following sections.

  • Scarborough's War Years, 1939-1945
    SCARBOROUGH’S WAR YEARS - 1939-45 by Richard James Percy PAGE 1 It would be impossible to recollect all the activity that went on in Scarborough during the Second World War. Shops and businesses had to adjust to the war situation. Many closed earlier than usual because of the blackout. The hospital only allowed two visitors to each patient per day and only one at a time by the bedside. Everyone had to carry their gasmasks, although people soon became tired of doing so and the habit slowly petered out. Everyone had an identity card which had to be on the person at all times. The hotels and boarding houses were full of visitors on the first Christmas of the war but this was all to change as one by one they were taken over by the military for the billeting of the armed forces. Scarborough had become a prohibited area and it was difficult for anyone to enter without a lot of questions being asked. Later on in the war visitors did start to arriving for their holidays but it was very hard for them to find accommodation. Many shops and houses had their windows and other breakable things taped up to stop blast damage in case of air raids. The Floral Hall, Gala Land and the South Bay Pool had wire netting in vunerable places. The inhabitants of Scarborough attended dances at the Olympia – the Spa was requisitioned by the military – and although the streets were full of soldiers and a blackout, there was never one case of assault or any trouble.

  • The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project… …Why, What, Where and When? by David Renwick, Project Officer
    David Renwick, Project Officer, Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project, 19/04/06 The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project… …Why, What, Where and When? By David Renwick, Project Officer This partnership project in the Vale of Pickering aims to rehabilitate a nationally-important wetland landscape through sensitive farm management, to make the Vale a richer place for wildlife and more attractive and accessible for the benefit of all. Introduction The Cayton and Flixton Carrs Wetland Project aims to help local farmers and landowners to create, manage and restore wetland habitats in the Vale of Pickering around Cayton and Flixton Carrs. It builds on the existing environmental and archaeological importance of this inspiring area. The Vale of Pickering has a fascinating landscape history from its glacial past, through the effects of man, from Mesolithic settlement to modern drainage, to the current changes in British Farming and the effects on wildlife through the ages. The Project is working with local farmers to boost the area’s wildlife whilst at the same time helping them to secure a financially viable farm business, this will not only benefit the farmers and the wildlife but also provide much wider benefits which we can all enjoy. Here is a summary of what has happened so far and a taste of what we hope can happen in the future. A Chilly Beginning The last ice age or Pleistocene period lasted some 2.5 million years, with ice advancing and retreating across Britain many times over, finally disappearing completely some 10,000 years ago. At this time, now named as the beginning of the current Holocene period the landscape of North Yorkshire was still recovering from the grips of the last ice age.
