Minutes for November 2019 04/12/2019 Hawsker Cum Stainsacre Parish Council Minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday 5th November 2019 in Hawsker Village Hall. Present: Councillors D. Rowland (Chairperson), J. Cummins (Vice Chairperson), S. Slater, D. Bastiman, M. Menier, D. Tindale, J. Mortimer, D. Scott, S. Glasby (Parish Clerk) Members of the Public – 2 1. The Council held Public Question Time with Mrs. Claire Barber, Head Teacher of Hawsker Cum Stainsacre Primary School, Matt Parsons and Heather King from Sirius Minerals and Steve Harris from the Fire Service. To start Claire Barber explained to the Council and members of the public how busy it can get outside of the school at drop off and pick up times, a large amount of people now travel to the school from Whitby and this has increased the number of cars that need to park up on a daily basis. Councilor Slater and County Councilor Derek Bastiman are going to continue to working on a solution to this problem, ideas included using double yellow lines in dangerous areas where parking is taking place. Councilor Cummins was asked to speak with the Court Leet about another piece of land that may be usable as parking. Matt Parsons and Heather King from Sirius Minerals spoke with the Council and members of public about how Sirius are coping after the announcement that they could not move forward with the next stage of funding. To continue with the project Sirius Minerals chose to reduce its work force as well as ending night shifts, work is still continuing but it is now just preparation work for the next stage of shaft sinking. The outlook still remains positive as Sirius now focuses on getting funding together quickly, the company currently have two options for this, the first is to start moving and selling the product they already have, the second is to join in a partnership. There is no intention at the moment for Sirius Minerals to go private. Matt and Heather were thanked for their attendance and the Council were told that when Sirius know what will happen next then the Council will receive another update. The Council then had a presentation from Steve Harris who is in charge of the Local Fire Departments. Steve spoke of the home assessments and the ‘Safe and Well’ scheme that the Fire Service is now running, this involves helping individuals in the community who may need new fire alarms for example, but with this comes a checklist 1 of other important life factors. On occasion the Fire Service have used this checklist to guide people towards other services such as home help if they think this would be beneficial. The Fire Service is currently running several courses in Whitby for motorcyclists and car drivers. Sessions for motorcyclists include talks on speed and driving awareness as well as first aid information for if you or a fellow rider is involved in an accident. A course is being run at the fire station for young car drivers to educate them on the dangers of driving irresponsibly, this is done through a virtual reality headset which simulates an accident and what happens once the emergency services arrive. The parking situation at Hawsker Cum Stainsacre Primary School was also brought up as the Fire Service have two signs which have been a good deterrent in the past, the signs are a small child and the other a mum with a pram, these are used to help drives to recognise that young children will be around that area and to adjust their speed accordingly. The Council agreed this was a great idea and asked Steve to look into bringing these back to the area and possibly the Council having their own to deploy. 2. The Council received no apologies for absence. 3. The Council received no declarations of interest. 4. The minutes of Hawsker Cum Stainsacre Parish Council meeting on the 1st of October 2019 were confirmed as a true and correct record. 5. The Council received information on the following ongoing issues and decided further action where necessary: 5.1.

Parking at Hawsker Cum Stainsacre School was discussed at public question time; Councilor Slater will follow this up and report back at December’s meeting. 2 6. The following planning applications were discussed and decide upon: 6.1. NYM/2019/0727/FL – The Council had no objections to the change in lay out or removal of the caravan units, demolition of the café but had serious concerns over the new access and how a carpark for members of the public will be maintained and how access to the beach will continue to be available to all. 6.2.

Mrs. Thompson agreed to become a Council member and the Clerk will now start to prepare for this to happen at the next Parish Council meeting. 8.4. The Council discussed the work that needed to be done at the playgrounds as highlighted by the ROSPA report. It was resolved that Councilor Slater would contact Dockend Engineering for a quote on the works needed to the Igloo at Hawsker Playground, and that the Clerk would get a quote for a new sign at Stainsacre Playground. The Council also decided that once a month Councilors would go and look at the playgrounds to check that everything looks in good shape and that there are no immediate issues, it was agreed that this responsibility would be shared between Council members. 3 8.5 Councilor Slater attended the Coastal Forums meeting on the 24th of October and reported back to the Council. The meeting had several speakers including apprentices from North Yorkshire Moors National Parks, speaking about the opportunities for apprentices in the National Parks and how enjoyable they found the apprenticeships. Another speaker was Alan Eves from Forestry England who gave a speech on the importance of the tree felling and import/export business. The UK is the 4th largest import/exporter of trees and it is vital to continue this. Climate change as well as tree diseases were discussed and how the Woodland Trust are currently running a free tree scheme to help local communities plant more trees. Attendees heard from Bernie McLinden on the important work that volunteers do for the National Parks. The Cinder Track was discussed and how work is currently happening at both ends of the track, it was also mentioned that a position might become available for a maintenance engineer specifically focused on the Cinder Track.

  • THE DEAF-AND-DUMB in the 19Th CENTURY
    THE DEAF-AND-DUMB IN THE 19th CENTURY An East Yorkshire study of children born deaf between 1840 and 1850. Postgraduate Diploma in Genealogical, Palaeographic and Heraldic Studies University of Strathclyde Anne Sherman 2014-2015 SHERMAN.Anne_DissFD_final.docx Page 1 06/07/2015 THE DEAF-AND-DUMB IN THE 19th CENTURY: An East Yorkshire study of children born deaf between 1840 and 1850 (inclusive). ABSTRACT This study aimed to examine the lives of children in Hull and East Yorkshire, who were born deaf, or became deaf during infancy, between 1840 and 1850, looking specifically for any family history of deafness (relating to their parents, siblings and their own offspring), and if their education affected their choice of occupations and how those occupations compared to those of their parents and hearing siblings. The study used a range of sources to identify relevant children, including the 1851 and 1861 Census returns, a list of students at the Yorkshire institute for the deaf and dumb, people identified from any of the literature, and newspaper reports to assist in obtaining details of the lives of deaf-and-dumb people in general at that time. Contemporary reports suggested that most deaf children were born to deaf parents, however this report demonstrates that this was not true, and agrees with the statistics from 30 Victorian deaf educational establishments in the UK, which found that less than 2% of children had two congenitally deaf parents. Some contemporary literature also suggests the uneducated deaf would be unable to work, and therefore would spend their lives in the workhouse, however this report will argue that in most cases the occupations reflected those of their parents and/or hearing siblings, regardless of their education.

It seeks the origin ofthe parish system in the 7th century with the establishment of monasteria in accordance with the theory, the 'minster' hypothesis, that these were the minsters of the Middle Ages and the ancient parish churches of today. The territory of the monasterium, its parochia, was that of the secular royal vill, because kings granted these lands with the intention that monasteries provided pastoral care to the royal vill.

  • North Yorkshire County Council Business and Environmental Services Executive Members 12 March 2021 Whitby Swing Bridge
    North Yorkshire County Council Business and Environmental Services Executive Members 12 March 2021 Whitby Swing Bridge - proposal to close the swing bridge to road traffic, with complementary restrictions in neighbouring Whitby town centre streets, by means of an experimental traffic order. New Quay Road, Bridge Street (Whitby Bridge/‘Whitby swing bridge’), Grape Lane, St Ann’s Staith, Haggersgate, Pier Road and Khyber Pass, Whitby Report of the Assistant Director – Highways and Transportation 1.0 Purpose of report 1.1 To consider the making of an experimental traffic regulation order. 2.0 Background 2.1 During 2020 the general need to provide for socially distanced pedestrian access because of the Covid pandemic highlighted an already existing issue of conflict between pedestrian and vehicular use of Whitby Swing Bridge. Under powers specifically introduced to tackle Covid, a multiagency task group, which included the police, borough and county councils, made the short term emergency decision to make a Temporary Traffic Order close the swing bridge to all motorised and non- motorised vehicular traffic between10:30am to 6pm every weekend to facilitate social distancing. The task group also decided that it was necessary to place a traffic operative at the entrance to St Ann’s Staith/Pier Road every day, to enforce the existing restrictions, which stipulate that only vehicles requiring essential access are permitted between 10:30am to 6pm between 23 March and 30 September. These Covid-related actions remained in force until the end of October last year. 2.2 The Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 S122 places a duty on the council as the Traffic Authority to secure the expeditious, convenient and safe movement of vehicular and other traffic (including pedestrians).

  • Woodsmith Project Liaison Group Forum Project Update: October 2020
    WOODSMITH PROJECT LIAISON GROUP FORUM PROJECT UPDATE: OCTOBER 2020 1. Construction update At Woodsmith Mine the focus remains on preparing the three shafts – service shaft, production shaft and minerals transport system (MTS) shaft – for the main shaft sinking. The Shaft Boring Roadheader (SBR) has been successfully installed in the service shaft at the depth of 120m ready to start shaft sinking by the end of the year. It will be boring down to a depth of 1,600m. The production foreshaft is complete and the excavation of the inner shaft has almost reached 120m. The SBR for this shaft is currently being assembled on site. For the MTS shaft, work is ongoing to fit-out and commission the Galloway, hoist and winch systems before the main shaft sinking starts by the end of the year. A drill and blast method will be used to sink this shaft and neighbours will soon be provided with information about the blasting notification procedure. With respect to the tunnel, the tunnel boring machine (TBM) - named Stella Rose by local school children - has made great progress and has now reached 9.5km on its way to Lockwood Beck. As the advance rate of the TBM has been greater than we anticipated, we are not planning to launch a second TBM from Lockwood and will continue with Stella Rose. This means that whilst we still need a shaft for ventilation at Lockwood Beck, it is now required to be 3.2m in diameter, which is smaller than initially proposed. The method that will be used to sink the shaft is called ‘blind boring’ and replaces the ‘drill and blast’ method previously proposed.

    Ofsted Piccadilly Gate Store Street Manchester T 0300 123 4234 M1 2WD www.gov.uk/ofsted 7 November 2017 Mrs Claire Barber Acting headteacher Hawsker Cum Stainsacre Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Hawsker Whitby North Yorkshire YO22 4LA Dear Mrs Barber Short inspection of Hawsker Cum Stainsacre Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School Following my visit to the school on 17 October 2017, I write on behalf of Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Education, Children’s Services and Skills to report the inspection findings. The visit was the first short inspection carried out since the school was judged to be good in June 2013. This school continues to be good. Leaders have maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school has experienced considerable changes in leadership and staffing over the last year during the long-term absence of the substantive headteacher. The effective partnership between school leaders, governors, the local authority and the diocese has ensured that the quality of education and care of the pupils have been of the upmost importance during these changes. Outcomes for pupils continue to be strong. Pupils enjoy their learning and speak proudly of their school and their friendships. They show support and respect for each other. They say that staff make their learning fun and that they feel well cared for. Most parents and carers have a positive view of the learning experiences that their children have. They say that communication about their child’s progress and events in the school is good.
