The original idea was to pull together lots of old photographs and postcards and publish a Topcliffe scrapbook. However, it seemed to me to be also an opportunity to have another look at the history of Topcliffe and try to dig a little further into the knowledge than had been written in other histories. This then is the latest in a line of Topcliffe's histories produced by such people as J. B. Jefferson in his history of Thirsk in 1821, Edmund Bogg in his various histories of the Vale of Mowbray and Mary Watson in her Topcliffe Book in the late 1970s.

  • Richmondshire District Council Does Not Currently Meet the Criteria for Electoral Inequality Ie
    District Ward Boundary Review Richmondshire District Council Stage One - Council Size Submission to the Local Government Boundary Commission for England (April 2017) 1 Introduction The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) is an independent body that is responsible for conducting boundary and electoral reviews of principal authorities in England. Richmondshire District Council does not currently meet the criteria for electoral inequality ie. 30% of wards having a variance greater than +/- 10% of the average electorate per Member, however this threshold is likely to be reached in the very near future. As a result the Council decided in July 2016 to request the LGBCE to undertake an electoral review. This request was accepted and the review was included in their programme. The electoral review will examine whether the boundaries of wards within the local authority area need to be altered to ensure fair representation at the local government elections. In Richmondshire it has been identified that six of the twenty four wards have imbalances. The table below sets out the current imbalances in the District. No (%) Number of wards (>10%) 5 Number of wards (>20%) 0 Number of wards (>30%) 1 The Wards with the above variances are: (%) Brompton-on-Swale & Scorton 11% Hipswell 12% Hornby Castle 29% Middleton Tyas -14% Scotton -12% Swaledale -11% The main reasons for the electoral inequality arises from new housing developments, under registration of service personnel and population changes, the detail of which will be explained in the following sections. North Yorkshire County Council is not within the LGBCE programme for review and the County Council have indicated they will not be requesting a review of the County Divisions.
