Free property register PDF Print E-mail

OK, this is a great website, it's a national property register, the police have one for vehicles but with this website you can register your phones, bikes etc all for FREE. If your property is found after being lost or stolen all police forces can search on the register and return your kit to you, to register a phone you need it's IMEI number, to find that just dial *#06# and it'll show you your number.

Co-option to fill casual vacancy PDF Print E-mail
Written by Clerk   
Tuesday, 10 January 2012 12:49


As a consequence of a recent resignation there is a casual vacancy on the Council and applications to serve until the next election in 2014 are invited from suitably qualified electors.

The Council plays an important role in representing the interests of the local community and its work can be very rewarding  There are a number of initiatives and projects planned for the comming two years that will require continued commitment and enthusiasm from all Councillors and membership of the Council is a unique opportunity to make a real positive difference to the daily lives of the community that the Council serves. Applicants should have a keen interest in serving our community and be prepared to consider all issues in an impartial and open minded manner.  

Council membership should not have a significant impact on family life with meetings restricted to 11 evenings a year (normally the second Monday in each month), very occasional site visits or special committee meetings and time to read a small amount of breifing before each meeting.

Information about being a Parish Councillor may be found here and a formal notice including how to apply to serve can be found here.  

Please contact the Parish Clerk or a Councillor if you would like to discuss any aspect of becomming a member of Horton Parish Council.

Because of the exteded Christmas break relatively few matters had been referred to Councillors for consideration or consultation by other Authorities so the meeting concentrated on matters of local concern. Work had been scheduled to take place during early January to reduce standing water and repair the surface of Harber Scar lane, but Councillors were less than happy with a lack of action by the national park authority on similar problems on Horton Scar lane.

The Council was invited to nominate projects for inclusion in the Craven Dales Landscape Programme and had sent a very full response listing a number of major improvement works for the parish. The Council was to be present at the CDLP open afternoon at Clapham on 11 January to discuss the plans further.

Councillors were surprised to learn that it was considered that no breach of planning control had taken place at Beckside and further enquiries are to be made about the reasons for this decision.

Because of prudent financial management Councillors were delighted to be able to hold the Parish Precept at its current level for the third successive year so the cost of the Council to the local community will remain at 2010 level.

Friday, 16 December 2011 08:59

Residents will be sorry to learn that Rachel Dickinson has reluctantly decided to resign as a Parish Councillor. Rachel has given sterling service since being elected in May 2010 and she will be much missed at future meetings.

 

A potentially ground breaking programme was presented by David Taylor of Yorkshire Dales Millennium Trust. The Trust are preparing a bid for significant funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund to pay for a series of projects under the banner of the Craven Dales Landscape Partnership. These will be focussed on Ribblesdale between Helwith Bridge and Ribblehead extending some way down Chapel le Dale and deliver enhancements to the natural landscape, interpretation of the landscape and heritage, conservation of industrial heritage and the promotion of community benefits. One of the key projects in the proposed programme will be the development of Beecroft Cottages as previously reported. There will be a drop-in on 11 January at Clapham to explain the programme and Councillors will be present to talk about the Beecroft development.

The Council has now adopted a complaints procedure to deal systematically with any criticism of its administration. Details are available on the website or from the Clerk.

Councillors were pleased to welcome Paul Mason of Windle, Beech Winthrop who had prepared a detailed feasiblity study on the liabilities and benefits of the Council acquiring the picnic site at Helwith Bridge. Councillors resolved that they were minded to acquire the site subject to detailed review and to set up a committee to consider the study in detail, consult with residents and other interested parties and report back to the full Council with recommendations in February.

The Clerk reported that the apparent felling of scheduled trees at Beckside was being investigated by the National Park. A letter from Julian Smith MP forwarding one from the Minister of State at DEFRA responding to the Council's complaint about the way in which European grant funds were being administered by DEFRA was read to the meeting. It was agreed to go back to Mr Smith reiterating concerns that had not been addressed.

Horton Parish Councillors met on Monday 10 October with another full agenda before them which included reports on progress with a number of potential community projects.

 An exciting and very imaginative presentation was made by David Hacking on the potential future community use of Beecroft Cottages and Councillors will meet with Hansons managers in early November to present the findings of the study and a draft plan for a two phase development of the facility.

A draft of the study into the possible acquisition of the Helwith Bridge picnic site had been received and sent to Councillors for consideration. This will be discussed in full at the next Council meeing.

    I've had a couple of reports from folk, the first is of scrap dealers touting in the area, please report these incidents to us when they are happening, some scrap-dealers are helping themselves to anything they can, if we know they're about we can stop them and make sure they're legitimate.
  The second report I've had is of sheep being stolen but not getting reported to us or insurers. If we don't know there's stock being pinched we can't do anything about it, so please tell us, it's up to you if you want to tell your insurance company.
  Lastly the dark evenings will soon be upon us, if you're not getting home till late try and have a couple of lamps on timer switches, they cost very little and could deter any would-be burglars.
