Yorkshire Dales Green Lanes Advisory Group Members kept the membership of SR, JB, SM and DG to represent the YDAF on the Yorkshire Dales Green Lanes Advisory Group. Dales Tourism Steering Group JB wished for it to be noted that both himself and JS attend the Destination Dales Group, tourism meetings organised by the YDNPA (not to represent the YDAF). 9. Report back from the Yorkshire Dales Advisory Groups Access on Foot Advisory Group DG presented the minutes of the Access on Foot Advisory Group. The following issues were discussed: Greenfield Forest AH said that the creation agreement for the new public rights of way at Greenfield Forest was currently with the landowner. Guldrey Fold MP informed members that the longstanding issue of the obstruction at Guldrey Fold was discussed and that members felt some signage was required at the beginning of the route to inform users that access wasn’t possible. 3 Signage MC said that there had been a useful discussion on signage within the Yorkshire Dales National Park (YDNP) and that members had suggested the YDAF look at it in detail when the policy document Special Qualities, Special Experiences (SQSE) is reviewed. KB said that the policy document will be reviewed in 2017, but added that she thought the policy was clear: • From settlements and other development in the main Dales, waymarking will be used to the extent necessary to orientate visitors, and give them confidence, in their surroundings. • In rural lowland areas and tributary dales, waymarking will be basic but clear to avoid ‘over-management’ and will be unobtrusive within the surroundings. • In open upland areas, the use of waymarks will only be used out of legal necessity or where required as an aid to navigation, with the aim of ensuring that any signs of human activity are minimal given that typical users could be expected to carry a map and compass. KB asked YDAF members to send any specific examples, of where additional waymarking was needed, to Alan Hulme to pass on to the Access Rangers. JP said that under the Countryside Act 1968 (s27), it is stated that there is a duty for the highway authority to erect signposts to assist persons unfamiliar with the locality. KB was unsure if this was in the delegation agreement for the YDNPA, but said she would find out. KB to find out if the YDNPA has a duty to erect signposts under section 27 of the Countryside Act 1968. It was agreed that signage and waymarking would be discussed as a full agenda item at a future meeting, to coincide with the redraft of Special Qualities, Special Experiences. [NB. Following the meeting it was confirmed this section is in the delegation agreements but fundamentally it is a ‘power’ not a ‘duty’ upon the Highway Authority their only legal obligation is to sign post where a right of way leaves the metal road. Issues of waymarking will also be picked up via the Ramblers project Big Pathwatch]. Waymarking and signage to be discussed at a future meeting of the YDAF Cave and Crag Access Advisory Group JB presented the minutes of the Cave and Crag Access Advisory Group. Threshfield Quarry A letter had been written to the Threshfield Quarry Trust from the British Mountaineering Council (BMC) to ask for some climbing provision at the quarry site but no response had 4 been received to date. AC said he had attended a recent meeting of the Trust and there had been no mention of this. He suggested the BMC write again. RB to suggest the BMC writes again to the Threshfield Quarry Trust with regards to climbing access. High Lining Someone had attended the meeting to talk about a new recreational activity – high lining – which was taking place throughout the YDNPA, particularly at Malham Cove. AH said he had met on site with the high liners, since the meeting, and they were keen to work with officers to make sure disturbance to breeding birds was kept to a minimum. Drones It was agreed that the issue of use of drones in the YDNP should be brought back to the YDAF for discussion. AT suggested contacting the North York Moors NPA (NYMNPA) who may have some guidance on the use of model aircraft. RB said she would contact them to find out. RB to contact the NYMNPA regarding any guidance they may have on the use of model aircraft, and whether this was relevant to consideration of drones. Cave Access There is some media interest at present regarding access to caves on open access land. The Lancashire LAF have discussed the issue and have decided to support the view of the British Cavers Association (BCA) that the CROW Act needs to be clarified to include access to caves systems and not just the daylight area. AT suggested seeing if the subject is discussed at the National LAF conference in March. Scoska Cave An application has been submitted to Natural England to designate Scoska Cave as the first underground National Nature Reserve. JB thought it would be useful for the YDAF to write a letter of support to Natural England. Members agreed to this. AT to write a letter of support to Natural England for the designation of Scoska Cave as a National Nature Reserve.

  • Car Parking Charges for the Station, Richmond Swimming
    CAR PARKING CHARGES FOR THE STATION, RICHMOND SWIMMING POOL AND GYM CUSTOMERS ARE ON THE WAY; HOWEVER, YOU CAN MAKE THEM FAIRER IF YOU ACT IMMEDIATELY BY EXPRESSING YOUR VIEWS Richmondshire District Council is proposing to introduce car parking charges in The Station Yard Car Park this spring. We understand that the ticket machines have been ordered . This car park is currently used by customers of The Station, Richmond Swimming Pool and Liberty Gym. All of these buildings and the activities which take place in them are organised and maintained through the efforts of two local volunteer-led charities: The Station – Is operated by The Richmondshire Building Preservation Trust The Pool and Gym – Are operated by the Richmond Leisure Trust If you regularly use these ‘much loved’ charity-run-facilities , and choose to park your vehicle in the council owned Station Yard Car Park, you will shortly be charged for your visit. The charities that operate these facilities believe that what is being proposed will have an immediate and detrimental impact on these community amenities which are run on a ‘not-for profit’ basis - and could ultimately force them to close. The local authority appear to have little or no relevant research on which to justify their position. Your help is needed NOW to ensure that the views of people like you, who value The Station, pool and gym, to make your voices heard on this critical issue by writing to or phoning your district councillor, if you live in Richmondshire or writing to the head of the local authority if you don't.

Please email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the mailing list. THE GATE OF THE YEAR by Minnie Louise Haskins And I said to the man who stood at the gate of the year: “Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.” And he replied: “Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the Hand of God. That shall be to you better than light and safer than a known way.” So I went forth, and finding the Hand of God, trod gladly into the night. And He led me towards the hills and the breaking of day in the lone East. George VI read this as part of his Christmas address in 1939. Though World War II had started, no one knew what 1940 would bring. Among other things the Battle of Britain would rage in the skies, and rationing would be introduced. As we stood at the gate of 2020, few of us would have imagined the year we’ve had. As we stand at the gate of 2021, we are hopeful of a vaccine for Covid-19, but we don’t know what the year will bring, personally, nationally or internationally. The person in the poem who stands at the gate of the year, wants to know what is going to happen – they ask for a light so that they can see.

  • Review of Polling Districts, Polling Places & Polling Stations
    Elect ra Elections – polling arrangements Review of polling districts, polling places & polling stations Background information and the Returning Officer’s proposals If you have any comments or questions please contact: Electoral Registration Officer Richmondshire District Council Mercury House Station Road Richmond North Yorkshire DL10 4JX [email protected] or or complete an online survey at www.richmondshire.gov.uk/surveys/polling by 13 September 2019. Polling District and Places Review 2018/2019 Background Within each Local Authority area, legislation requires Councils to carry out reviews of Polling Districts and Polling Places in that area. The Electoral Registration and Administration Act 2013 introduced a change to the timing of compulsory reviews and the next review must be held between 1 October 2018 and 31 January 2020 with subsequent reviews held within a 16 month period starting on 1 October every fifth year after 1 October 2018. The Council’s last review was held in 2013 when a number of minor changes were made. The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) carried out a District Ward Boundary Review and published their final proposals in May 2018. The number of wards reduced from 24 to 16 and took effect at the District Council Elections on 2 May 2019. The majority of our current polling station allocations were not affected by the new Ward Boundary arrangements, however three areas would have been affected. Council at its meeting on 24 July 2018 approved a review of the current polling station allocations for Colburn, Gayles and Richmond parishes as a result of revisions to their parish electoral arrangements.

Please cascade ‘Bridge’ to others. Please email [email protected] if you would like to be added to the mailing list. Letter from the Rectory Liz and I watched a film recently called Roman J. Israel. The title was the name of a black civil rights lawyer in America. Roman was a brilliant lawyer with an encyclopaedic legal brain. Yet he was rather socially awkward and couldn’t do the courtroom side of things. This is where his partner came in. He was the quick-witted courtroom gladiator. Roman provided the ammunition, his partner used it. Being an advocate for the marginalised was Roman’s motivation and he was paid in a week what industry colleagues were paid in an hour. Things go drastically wrong for Roman when his business partner is suddenly taken ill and dies. It turns out that the firm is insolvent and faces closure. He tries to save it by attempting the courtroom role himself but this does more harm than good and him being charged with contempt of court. Things also go wrong outside the business as he is mugged and, on another occasion when he seeks to help a victim of violence, he is penalised for trying to help. Roman ends up thinking is his virtuous life worth it when all around him the less virtuous prosper? This question chimes with people of faith.

  • 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.
