Sheriff Hutton Village News Number 600 October 2019 Golden Anniversary 50 Years of Village News We are pleased to present the first publication of ‘SHERIFF HUTTON NEWS’ were the first words written on a piece of paper before they were typed, stencilled, duplicated along with other handwritten news entries in October for the November 1969 News. Alan Farnaby and I also wrote that we would try to publish on the 1st of every month and bring the News free to every house in the Village. Now, in this 600th edition we can proudly say a Village News has been delivered to every home for 50 years. Sadly, Alan is not here to share in this achievement which was just one of the many things that he did for our village. Thanks Alan. Over the years, many village people have shared in the production and distribution or supporting with fundraising and donations when new equipment was needed. A most essential factor has been the financial support received from the people and businesses who have paid to advertise for a year. This ensured a free distribution could be maintained and we hope they have benefitted by village people using their services. In November Richard Haste and I have an opportunity to say more about the development of the News from hand operation to electronic at the History Group meeting on Friday, 29th November. A history of printing and life in Sheriff Hutton. So, congratulations to the village of Sheriff Hutton in maintaining this valuable means of communication to all its residents for 50 years and thank you to all the people who have played a part in its production. What will Village News be like in the next 50 years? Eric Hayhurst Co-editor for 40 years Parish Council www.sheriffhutton.co.uk The Parish Council met on the 13th September 2019. Councillors present at the meeting were Douglas Wooles (Chairman), Penny Bean (Vice-Chairman), Elaine Nelson, Dave Smith, Sally Wright, Marcus Oxendale and Martin Dodd. 4 members of the public (part meeting only). Planning Applications for consideration:- 19/00888/FUL Land Rear of Park View, Finkle Street, Sheriff Hutton Erection of 2no. four-bedroom detached dwellings with detached double garages together with formation of vehicular access and associated landscaping. Decision – Sheriff Hutton Parish Council OBJECT to this planning application, on the following grounds:- No attempt has been made to alleviate any of the concerns raised in the previous application; over development of the area, since the last application was approved Sheriff Hutton has seen an overfill of large, expensive houses; inappropriate larger type of houses proposed which would be unlikely to attract families into the village or those needing to downsize; the scale of the proposed houses is intrusive; the access of the proposed location, with visibility towards Sheriff Hutton limited by a bend in the road; the width of the access road is unacceptable and inaccurate on the plans submitted; the limiting capacity of the existing water and drainage systems. The recent incidents of flooding and standing water have been experienced by the adjacent residents and this has been exacerbated by recent climate changes; the ecological impact of replacing existing natural boundary hedging with fencing; concerns surrounding the existing medieval ridge and furrow field system; the development would have a material adverse impact on the amenity of the present occupants of neighbouring land, including a loss of privacy to existing houses. 19/00829/HOUSE 1 Glebe Cottages, Church End, Sheriff Hutton Erection of first floor extension. Decision – No Objection. 19/01014/HOUSE Laburnum Cottage, West End, Sheriff Hutton Erection of replacement outbuilding to form artists studio for personal use of applicant. Decision – No Objection.

The Founders of Village News Eric Hayhurst (left) and Alan Farnaby (right) producing the News in 1985 when the process was still manual duplication Community Speed Watch (CSW) As part of a National Police Speed Campaign, designed to raise public awareness of the dangers of speeding, the Speedwatch Team were invited to participate on the 20th August. We carried out two one-hour sessions, a total of 569 vehicles passed through, with 4 vehicles exceeding the allowed tolerance, one at 38 mph. In North Yorkshire 20 CSW teams took part recording 186 speeding offences, and Mobile Safety Camera vans recorded a further 349 0ffences, a disappointing total of 535 offences in ONE day. Breaking the speed limit knocks seconds off the average journey, but massively increases the risk of killing someone should you have an incident. Terry Johnson, Lead Coordinator [email protected] 01347 878626 Sheriff Hutton Village Market Each month so far we have really enjoyed seeing our regular stall holders as well as introducing new stalls each month. In September we welcomed a local deli and a traditional style sweet stall which went down a storm with adults and children alike. In October we can't wait for the new Indian cuisine stall providing us with delicious sauces as well as our favourite accompaniments for a delicious curry night at home. For all those missing the cheese and wine stalls, don't worry they’ll be back in October. Congratulations also to this month's competition winner, keep your eyes on our Facebook page for more chances to win! Also, our thanks to the Youth Club and PTFA for running fantastic cafes at the last 2 markets who raised £400 and £450 respectively for their causes. I know the volunteers look forward to those bacon and sausage butties in the morning and all groups have treated market goers to a delicious selection of homemade goodies. We look forward to welcoming the cricket club next month. Are you tall or do you find you're walking the dog first thing on a Sunday morning by the Hall? We need some help setting up between 7:30am and 8:30am on market mornings, putting up the market stall tarpaulins, getting bunting up, popping the signs out and tying the parking rope in place - if you could pop down, we'd appreciate the help. Or if you're not an early bird, helping for even an hour car parking would be great. Finally, are you a social media genius or a technical whizz, could you help raise our online profile and support us? We are also looking for someone who could provide admin support (circa 10 hours a week) responding to emails, assisting with new enquiries and paperwork - if you are interested in any way, let us know, it would be great to expand the team. Contact us on [email protected] or through the Facebook page.
