Issues from previous meetings

• Damage to grass verges The use of ‘do not drive/park on grass’ signage to discourage driving and parking on the grass verges is being considered.
• Speed limit on North Back Lane and 20's Plenty initiative The Council has received a complaint about the excessive speed of some drivers using North Back Lane and the safety implications it has for pedestrians and particularly, school children. The Council agreed to consider suitable signage to encourage responsible driving along Church Lane and North Back Lane. It is also looking further into the ‘20’s Plenty’ initiative.
• Village Signs There are a number of damaged and discoloured signs around the village and some advertising signs may not be lawful. The Council is looking into the regulations governing notices and advertising.
• Bridge over Sawmill Beck The bridge had become so dilapidated that North Yorkshire County Council had been forced to remove it in early 2021 and there was no prospect of it being replaced. Taking account of the level of use of the footpath on which the bridge is situated and noting that other possible sources of funding had already been explored, the Council has agreed to contribute £500 to the cost of a replacement which will meet current standards for accessibility and will continue to be the responsibility of NYCC. It is hoped the new bridge will be installed over this summer.
• Road markings and signage There has been no progress on painting the road markings on the centre of the road at the rise near Little Terrington, nor on signs on Mowthorpe Lane and Cliff Hill. The damaged Ganthorpe ‘no through road’ sign, on the corner of the main road and Sleigh Lane, has been replaced.
• Cemetery improvement work Necessary work on the stone boundary walls has been identified, trees need attention and more shrubs will have to be cut back. Reserves have been allocated to this and a plan of action is being discussed.
• Swift boxes The Council wrote to Ryedale District Council in May 2021 to request it to use its powers to encourage/require developers and planning applicants to include swift and/or other bird boxes/bricks in their developments. No response has yet been received.
