Proposed Rufforth to Knapton Bridleway - Annex a Map Notes: 0 310 620 930 1,240 1,550 Date: 15/08/2012 Author: Andy Vose Metres Start of PROW DIRECTORATE OF CITY REQUEST FOR STRATEGY DECISION Decision making level: Officer in Consultation Date: 11-09-2012 PROPOSED BRIDLEWAY BETWEEN RUFFORTH & KNAPTON Decision Requested 1) To note the results of a recent Safety Audit and Pre -order Bridleway Consultation and use these to determine the alignment and nature of the final route between the villages of Rufforth and Knapton 2) Authorise the Assistant Director of Governance and ICT to make the required Orders, under the Highways Ac t 1980, to create a bridleway on the proposed alignment and, i) if no objections are received, to confirm the Order as an unopposed Order. ii) if objections are received and not withdrawn, to bring the proposal back to OIC for further consideration. Reason To enable the route to be constructed in its entirety now funding has been secured from various sources towards it s construction Background Information The City of York Council have been approached on numerous occasions by residents from Rufforth to look at the provision of a safe route for cyclists between the village of Rufforth and the main urban area the other side of the A1237. Following receipt of a petition back in 2007 the council commissioned Sustrans, the National Cycle Network charity, to undertake a feasibility study on route options between the two villages of Rufforth and Knapton. Since this study was completed numerous meetings have taken place with the relevant stakeholders primarily looking at alternative route alignments, landowner permissions and funding options. The group identified an approximate route which would utilise existing rights of way where possible to make its construction as simple as possible and to try to keep the costs as low as possible. A overview map of the rout e is shown as Annex A and comprises several distinct sections (these are shown in more detail in Annex B) : Section Description A Link from Rufforth village to the start of the PROW section B PROW linking Wetherby Road to the North of England Activity Centre NOEAC (Clay Target Centre) access road C NOEAC access road section D Cross-corner route junction with NOEAC access road to junction with Yorwaste access track at other side E Yorwaste access track to Moor Lane F Moor Lane to Northfield Lane G Northfield Lane to Knapton Currently there are several options available for sections A, C, D and G. Sections A to D have been through a Stage 1 Safety Audit to flag up any issues which may influence the choice of route where we have one and are taken into account below when suggesting the preferred options for implementation. The audit is attached as Annex C. A Pre-Order (Bridleway) Consultation has also been undertaken with various stakeholder groups on the majority of the route. The results of the consultation are attached as Annex D. Section A Option Description A1 Shared use path along the southern edge of the farmer’s field north of Wetherby Road between Algarth bungalow and the PROW* A2 Shared use path in the Wetherby Road northern verge from the edge of the Algarth bungalow site to the start of the PROW* A3 Cyclists reintroduced to the carriageway at the point where the PROW emerges onto Wetherby Road. This would require the Rufforth 30mph zone to be extended to beyond this point to slow traffic down enough that cyclists would be able to cross safely and wouldn’t feel intimidated when cycling the final section on-road. * Both options A1 and A2 would require a shared use link path to be constructed along the edge of Wetherby Road within the property boundary of Algarth bungalow to link the off-road options back into the village beyond the road bend (see Annex B – Section A plan). This strip has been included in a recent planning application for new houses on the bungalow site and will shortly be recommended by officers for approval. If the application is approved the applicant has indicated he would like to start construction fairly quickly. Ideally the off-road options are the more attractive solutions, especially as the majority of the remainder of the route is away from busy roads, however negotiations with the relevant landowners thus far have not proven to be fruitful (although some progress has been reported recently) therefore the less attractive on-road option may need to be implemented in the short term whilst further negotiations with the landowners continue. A brief has recently been issued requesting that the feasibility of extending the 30mph zone be investigated. Section C Option Description C1 Use the NOEAC access road from the point where the cross- field PROW emerges onto it from the west to the point where the Harewood Whin cross-corner path is proposed to diverge away from it to the east C2 Provide an off-road path running parallel with the NOEAC access road to remove the potential for conflict between drivers and other path users The original proposal was to use the existing access road as this has a fairly good surface (there are some minor defects which could be addressed). In the Pre-Order Consultation responses which can be found as Annex D there is a response from Mr. Thompson, the owner of the NOEAC, in which he states that he doesn’t feel that his customers sharing the road with cyclists, walkers and horse riders would be safe – the most busy times for the gun club would coincide with the times when the path would probably be used the most (weekends), and he suggests the parallel path option is the only one which should be considered. Section D Option Description D1 Provide a new cross-corner route on Yorwaste land to bring the route at least 100m away from the NOEAC site to reduce the possibility of horses being spooked by close-proximity gunfire. D2 Use the NOEAC access road to traverse the corner and rejoin the northern Yorwaste access track the other side of the corner Throughout negotiations the cross-corner route has always been the preferred route especially for horse riders. The council’s insurance and legal teams have both confirmed that this would be their preferred option as it is further away from the NOEAC site therefore the noise from gun shots should be reduced, thus reducing the potential for horses to be spooked and unseat their riders. An option of providing both route D1 and D2 has been suggested to give cyclists and pedestrians who don’t want to climb the banking on the cross-corner route a flat option however there are objections to this from both the NOEAC manager on safety/security grounds as well as the prospect of additional maintenance cost for the council, and the farmer who also uses the access road with large agricultural vehicles to get to his fields. During the pre-order consultation it was suggested that due to the potential instability of the surface of the former landfill site the use of bitmac may not be suitable and that crushed stone may be better to reduce maintenance liabilities. This has been discussed with Sustrans, who would be constructing the path, and they are confident that with the amount of stone being made available to them by Yorwaste they can over- specify this section of the path to ensure it doesn’t suffer damage due to any movement of the ground due to settlement. Sustrans also confirmed that Yorwaste undertake regular surveys of levels on the landscaped sections to check for settlement and there is very little reported. Section G Option Description G1 Use the existing at-grade crossing of the A1237 near the Knapton Main Street junction G2 Provide a field edge path running along the western side of the A1237 up to the existing underpass partway between Knapton Main Street and the Wetherby Road roundabout. A bridleway exists between the eastern end of the underpass and Knapton Main Street. In the short term the at-grade crossing may need to be used to complete the eastern end of the route, however, negotiations are still ongoing with the owner of the field alongside the A1237 which, if successful, will enable option G2 to be provided in the longer term. Preferred Options For section A the A1 off-road route would be the preferred long term solution, however, as the negotiations with the relevant landowners are proving to be a long-winded process this option may not ever come to fruition and even if it were to be successful may take many months. Bearing this in mind it is recommended to pursue the A3 on-road option in the short term to enable a complete route to be provided whilst negotiations on the off-road option continue. For section C the off-road C2 option has now been costed up at approximately £30K to £38K depending on the specification provided. The original costings by Sustrans were done with a presumption that we would be able to negotiate with the NOEAC owner to use his access road therefore no provision has been made for construction of a parallel route. If an additional funding source to construct the off-road option cannot be found then further negotiations may be required with the NOEAC owner to investigate means of raising awareness and/or means of slowing his customers down. If the latter option has to be pursued the terms of the Deed of Grant agreed between North Yorkshire County Council and the NOEAC in 1992 for use of the access road will probably need to be rewritten with CYC having to contribute towards the future maintenance of the access road and take on the safety liabilities of users of the road which currently sit with NOEAC.

  • Popular Political Oratory and Itinerant Lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the Age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa M
    Popular political oratory and itinerant lecturing in Yorkshire and the North East in the age of Chartism, 1837-60 Janette Lisa Martin This thesis is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy The University of York Department of History January 2010 ABSTRACT Itinerant lecturers declaiming upon free trade, Chartism, temperance, or anti- slavery could be heard in market places and halls across the country during the years 1837- 60. The power of the spoken word was such that all major pressure groups employed lecturers and sent them on extensive tours. Print historians tend to overplay the importance of newspapers and tracts in disseminating political ideas and forming public opinion. This thesis demonstrates the importance of older, traditional forms of communication. Inert printed pages were no match for charismatic oratory. Combining personal magnetism, drama and immediacy, the itinerant lecturer was the most effective medium through which to reach those with limited access to books, newspapers or national political culture. Orators crucially united their dispersed audiences in national struggles for reform, fomenting discussion and coalescing political opinion, while railways, the telegraph and expanding press reportage allowed speakers and their arguments to circulate rapidly. Understanding of political oratory and public meetings has been skewed by over- emphasis upon the hustings and high-profile politicians. This has generated two misconceptions: that political meetings were generally rowdy and that a golden age of political oratory was secured only through Gladstone’s legendary stumping tours. However, this thesis argues that, far from being disorderly, public meetings were carefully regulated and controlled offering disenfranchised males a genuine democratic space for political discussion.

  • 2013 Draft York
    YORK BIODIVERSITY ACTION PLAN (BAP) -- FOR LIFE Introduction What is biodiversity? Biodiversity is the huge variety of life that surrounds us, its plants, animals and insects and the way they all work together. When you are outside, in the garden, field, park, woods, river bank, wherever you are …if you look around and listen, you begin to appreciate how the immense variety of plants and wildlife that surrounds us makes our lives special. It is like a living jigsaw, each piece carefully fitting into the next, if you lose a piece, the picture is incomplete. Why is biodiversity important? – Ecosystem Services All life has an intrinsic value that we have a duty to protect and, like a jigsaw, each piece has its own part to play. The loss of one piece will affect how the next one works. We are all part of the ecosystems that surround us and so any effect on them will ultimately affect us so by protecting and helping biodiversity we are improving life for ourselves. A rich natural environment delivers numerous unseen benefits which we tend to take for granted. These are what we now call ecosystem services – things like water storage and flood control, pollination of food crops by insects even the air we breathe and the water we drink are all part of this service. There are indirect benefits as well such as improved health and wellbeing and higher property values. All of this is down to our natural environment and the biodiversity in it. Ecosystem Services Flood Storage Clean Water Carbon storage – Woods, trees, heaths Soil Food and timber Medicine Reducing heat island effects Air pollution reduction Pollination Why do we need an Action Plan? Sometimes the way we live can make life difficult for some plants and animals to survive.
