Page 2 of 5 2 of 13 2.6 If the formal Council Tax Resolution is approved, the total Band D Council Tax will be as follows: 2019/20 £ Craven DC 172.21 North Yorkshire County Council 1,311.16 Police and Crime Commissioner North Yorkshire 255.77 North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service 71.27 Sub-Total 1,810.41 Town & Parish Council (average) 62.38 Total 1,872.79 3. Background 3.1 The Localism Act 2011 has made significant changes to the Local Government Finance Act 1992, and now requires the billing authority to calculate a Council Tax requirement for the year, not its budget requirement as previously. 3.2 The precept levels of other precepting bodies have been received. These are detailed below: 3.3 Town & Parish Councils The Town & Parish Council Precepts for 2019/20 are detailed in Appendix A and total £1,405,215. The increase in the average Band D Council Tax for Town and Parish Councils is 2.4% and results in an average Band D Council Tax figure of £62.38 for 2019/20 (£60.56 2018/19). 3.4 North Yorkshire County Council North Yorkshire County Council met on 20th February 2019 and set their precept at £29,535,007 adjusted by a Council Tax Collection Fund contribution of £526,598. This results in a Band D Council Tax of £1,311.16 for 2019/20 (£1,248.85 2018/19). 3.5 Police and Crime Commissioner North Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner North Yorkshire met on 21st February 2019 and set their precept at £5,761,439 adjusted, by a Council Tax Collection Fund contribution of £98,173. This results in a Band D Council Tax of £255.77 for 2019/20 (£232.82 2018/19). 3.6 North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service met on 5th February 2019 and set their precept at £1,605,418 adjusted, by a Council Tax Collection Fund contribution of £29,180. This results in a Band D Council Tax of £71.27 for 2019/20 (£69.20 2018/19). 3.7 This action flows from the approval of the budget. The wording of the recommendations are largely prescribed. Page 3 of 5 3 of 13 4. Implications 4.1 Financial Implications - The District Council’s element of the Council Tax has been increased by £5 compared to last year’s Band D amount and applied pro rata to all other bands. 4.2 Legal Implications - The Council has a statutory requirement to set the Council Tax for the 2019/20 financial year by 11th March 2019 in accordance with the Local Government Finance Act 1992. This ties in with the need to agree a balanced budget. In addition, there are requirements in Section 25 of the Local Government Act 2003 for reports to be presented to the Council on the robustness of the estimates, and on the position on reserves and balances. These matters were covered in the report to Policy Committee on the 5th February 2019. 4.3 Contribution to Corporate Priorities - None arising directly from this report. 4.4 Risk Management - If the Council does not set the Council Tax for 2019/20 by 11th March 2019 it will be in breach of its statutory duty. 4.5 Equality Impact Assessment - The Council’s Equality Impact Assessment Procedure has not been followed. Therefore neither an Initial Screening nor an Equality Impact Assessment has been undertaken on the proposed policy, strategy, procedure or function to identify whether it has/does not have the potential to cause negative impact or discriminate against different groups in the community based on •age • disability •gender • race/ethnicity • religion or religious belief (faith) •sexual orientation, or • rural isolation. 5. Consultations with Others: Financial Services, Legal Services, Revenues & Benefits Services. 6. Access to Information: Background Documents Various working papers held Financial Services. 7.

  • Biographies of St. James Vicars (Whitehaven)
    ST. JAMES VICARS BIOGRAPHIES Parish of Whitehaven Publication HS 9 RICHARD ARMITSTEAD Vicar 1790 to 1821 Richard Armitstead was baptised on 20 th January 1766 at Arncliffe St. Oswald’s, North Yorkshire- the second son of Marmaduke Armitstead-a plebian (or commoner). Marmaduke was baptized at Arncliffe on 9th October 1735 (the son of John and Agnes), and was buried on 25 th June 1811 having died on 21 st June. The first child was John (baptized 15 th May 1764, died 1789 4), and later children were Agnes (19 th July 1767), James (2 nd February 1769, died 1708), and Elizabeth (9 th March 1777). Marmaduke had married a Mary Savage of Bolton Percy (SW of York) in 1763 or 1764- the Marriage Bond is dated 10 th March 1763. At the time of the bond being issued Mary was 21, 5 years younger than Marmaduke. The Armitsteads were an old yeoman family from the Craven District of the West Riding of Yorkshire, both Richard’s father and grandfather lived at Litton Hall. It is believed that he attended Ermysted’s Grammar School, Skipton (after an early education at the Village School)- but the records are insufficient to prove that. 1 Litton Hall had been leased by Marmaduke’s father, who had also owned New House Farm at Halton Gill. Marmaduke and Mary lived at Prospect House, Arncliffe (near the Falcon Inn). Marmaduke’s brother, Richard, built Armistead Farm at Litton in 1734 Nothing is known of his early life, but he matriculated to Queens College, Oxford as a batter on 25 th June 1784.

I spent a few minutes polishing that apple and sold the apple for a shilling and six pence. The next morning, I invested that shilling in another apple, and after carefully polishing it, also sold it for a shilling and six pence.
