Amen The Revd. Roy Shaw writes......................... If you are reading this at the beginning of June, I shall still be in Bungoma, western Kenya. But I am coming back! The twelve days will go quickly, and it will be a pleasure to be back home, after what could be quite a rainy time in Kenya. We think the UK is rainy- but equatorial rains are something else! June is to my mind the most glorious month. It’s the time when we can see the rationale for the shift in recent years to a much more ‘outside’ life; bar-b-ques, patio furniture, cafes and pubs with outdoor seating. All far less attractive in March or November, but great (usually) at this time of year. Out come the summer clothes, too. There may be a biting wind, the temperature may be only 18 degrees, but we’re determined to get the most out of shorts and t-shirts. It’s the same when my wife and I take a break just after Christmas, and head off to warmer climes. We think 18-20 degrees is bliss; the locals are well wrapped up, thinking it’s so cold. I remember an occasion in La Orotava, Tenerife, one January, where we were in summer clothes, and passed a lady hugging a fur coat to herself. It depends on the baseline, whether we are the mad dogs and Englishmen who go out in the midday sun in t-shirt and shorts, or are well-wrapped up. We do well to remember that in all sorts of circumstances, particularly as we criticise others for their actions or lack of them; it depends on the baseline they’ve come from, and whether we and they have managed to transcend what may have been low or difficult baselines . Part of the baseline in the rural part of Kenya I visit is that things are very different from life in our ‘Golden Triangle’. But a big ‘thank you’ to those of you who gave me gifts of money to take out to Kenya in order to provide local people with Bibles in Swahili, and to provide bicycles for some of the local clergy to get around their parishes more efficiently. I hope to provide a fuller report on this in the next issue. Meanwhile, enjoy June- it’s such a precious time God Bless Your vicar, Roy 01423 359003/ [email protected]. NEWS FROM THE CHURCH OF THE EPIPHANY TOCKWITH One major fund raising event in May for the church for May had still to take place after this magazine is submitted to the printers. This is the concert by Classical Reflection. It will be reported on in the July magazine. We are now coming up to the summer months where there are all sorts of events taking place throughout our villages. It can be difficult to choose one over the other. On Sunday 28th June all the churches in the Parish of Marston Moor will be getting together to have a Parish Picnic on The Green at Askham Richard. This will commence at 12.45pm for 1.00pm. It is a great chance for the whole family to get together, share fellowship and meet people from the other churches in the Parish. This month we have lots of joyful pictures of church life illustrating how much fun can be had in church. Gone we hope has the dour unwelcoming atmosphere of yesteryear which put so many people off coming to church. Have you been to a Family Praise service? This is usually a very informal affair with modern hymns and a music group to accompany the singing. We try and get young people to be involved the service which lasts around 45 minutes and even the most fidgety of children can cope with. There is a little bit of a flat period this month with no special events but next month we see the visit of the Elysian Singers on Saturday 11th July. This well established choir will be singing a wide range of popular music. Planning is well advanced for next month’s Summer Holiday Club to be held between Monday 20th July to Wednesday 22nd July. The theme this year is Noah’s Ark. Thank you to all who came along and helped or supported the charity stall in Parliament Street York on 23rd May. We were very lucky with the weather and were serenaded by some street entertainers for most of the time. £200 was raised for church funds.

If you want us to advertise your event (for free! ), please let us know in good time and we'll gladly include a mention for you. Do you know anyone that has just moved into the village? Our aim is to make contact with them as soon as possible and tell them what we have to offer as a Church family. Our introduction is by way of delivering a Village and Parish News free of charge. Contact any member of the Church Council if you think someone may not have been seen. From the Church of Epiphany Parish Register Please note ALL items for the JUNE magazine need to be with the Editor by 19th June Many of the regular items are not in the magazine this month. This is because of the sheer volume of information being sent to the Editor concerning events in the village. If you attend any of them please mention that you saw the details in the Parish and Village News. Likewise if you use the services of any of the advertisers they would like to know if it was because you have seen their advertisement in the magazine.

DONATE A BIBLE We have a scheme that allows families to donate a Bible to the Church dedicated to their children to recognize the date of their Baptisms. We would like to extend the scheme to anyone who might wish to donate a Bible and dedicate it in memory of a loved one. If anyone would like to dedicate a Bible they are £15 each and we put the name inside the Bible cover. Please contact Angela Jenkins on 01423 358067. ............................... Did you know that Tockwith Church has a Facebook page? It is an excellent way to keep in touch with the local community regarding what is happening in church. It’s a great way to keep in touch with busy mums and dads and remind them of events that are coming to church. We pop lots of photos on of various events at church - even Elvis is on our page!!!

  • 2017 City of York Biodiversity Action Plan
    CITY OF YORK Local Biodiversity Action Plan 2017 City of York Local Biodiversity Action Plan - Executive Summary What is biodiversity and why is it important? Biodiversity is the variety of all species of plant and animal life on earth, and the places in which they live. Biodiversity has its own intrinsic value but is also provides us with a wide range of essential goods and services such as such as food, fresh water and clean air, natural flood and climate regulation and pollination of crops, but also less obvious services such as benefits to our health and wellbeing and providing a sense of place. We are experiencing global declines in biodiversity, and the goods and services which it provides are consistently undervalued. Efforts to protect and enhance biodiversity need to be significantly increased. The Biodiversity of the City of York The City of York area is a special place not only for its history, buildings and archaeology but also for its wildlife. York Minister is an 800 year old jewel in the historical crown of the city, but we also have our natural gems as well. York supports species and habitats which are of national, regional and local conservation importance including the endangered Tansy Beetle which until 2014 was known only to occur along stretches of the River Ouse around York and Selby; ancient flood meadows of which c.9-10% of the national resource occurs in York; populations of Otters and Water Voles on the River Ouse, River Foss and their tributaries; the country’s most northerly example of extensive lowland heath at Strensall Common; and internationally important populations of wetland birds in the Lower Derwent Valley.

    Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment Appendix 1: Sample letter, questionnaire and list of consultees 1 Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment 1st October 2008 Dear Sir or Madam Assessment of the Suitability and Availability of Potential New Housing Sites City of York Council is preparing a Strategic Housing Land Availability Assessment (SHLAA). The SHLAA seeks to identify potential future housing sites and assess whether such sites are deliverable and/or developable in order to help demonstrate a future supply of housing within York. As part of the consultation in Spring 2008 on the Key Allocation Development Plan Document, the Council undertook a ‘Call for Sites’ inviting landowners, agents and the wider public to submit information on any potential housing locations by suggesting sites of 0.2 hectares or larger. The Council is now required, as part of the SHLAA, to assess these sites for their suitability, availability and achievability following guidance set out by the government1 and the Regional Practice Guide2. We are contacting you because you have either submitted a site as part of our ‘Call for Sites’ process or we have identified you as having a connection with a site that has been submitted. We would like to invite you to fill in the attached proforma to provide the Council with the necessary background information in order to assess the suitability of site(s) submitted. We would also like to ask if you would like to be involved in reviewing the draft SHLAA once we have collated the information on the sites. We envisage that this consultation will take place in November.

  • 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.

  • Local Plan Area
    CHAPTER 2 - PLANNING CONTEXT & STRATEGY CHAPTER 2 PLANNING CONTEXT AND STRATEGY THE LOCAL PLAN AREA 2.1 Harrogate District is one of the largest and most attractive in England. It extends over an area of 1,308 square kilometres (505 sq. miles) to the north of the Leeds/Bradford conurbation and on the eastern fringes of the Yorkshire Dales. It is broadly contained to the east by the Rivers Swale, Ure and Ouse, which flow southward through the Vale of York. The River Wharfe marks the southern boundary of the District, while to the west and north, the land rises to form the Pennine upland chain. Figure 1 shows the District in its regional setting. Four parishes (Nether Poppleton, Upper Poppleton, Hessay and Rufforth) were transferred from Harrogate District to the new City of York Council area as a consequence of the local government reorganisation on 1 April 1996. This Local Plan is based on the revised administrative boundary of the District. FIG 1. REGIONAL SETTING 4 Augmented Composite - July 2009 HARROGATE DISTRICT LOCAL PLAN February 2001 CHAPTER 2 - PLANNING CONTEXT & STRATEGY 2.2 Although Harrogate District includes a number of important urban areas, it is essentially rural in character, containing about 150 villages and hamlets. The District is renowned for the quality and diversity of its landscape and wildlife. The western upland part of the District, centred on Nidderdale, was designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in 1994. The District contains numerous, very popular countryside sites such as Fountains Abbey, Brimham Rocks and How Stean Gorge together with a considerable number of historic country houses, parks and estates which are attractive features and make a significant contribution to landscape variety.

The wider site was given planning permission in 1999 for a mix of B1/B2 and B8 uses. Planning permission is sought for erection of a coated aggregates manufacturing plant situated within a building incorporating a mixing tower with associated chimney to be located at the western edge of the site. The proposal has subsequently been amended to include a detailed scheme of off-site highway works to attempt to address concerns in respect of both the access to the Industrial Estate and the nearby junction of the A59 with New Lane approaching the site. 1.2 The site was granted a planning permission for erection of a fuel storage depot ref:- 10/00861/FUL dating to 2010 which was not implemented and has subsequently expired. A previous proposal incorporating an asphalt plant linked with the reinstatement of the rail head within a materially larger section of the site was submitted in 1999 but subsequently withdrawn. 1.3 The total application site comprises some 7,200 sq metres in area which sets it within Schedule 2 of the 2017 Town and Country Planning (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations for which the application has been screened.
