Pick a stalk whilst you walk (or more)

Himalayan Balsam is an invasive species that has established itself in Gassy Woods.  

It needs active management to prevent it spreading further, and eclipsing other species.

If you are able to help by pulling up (as below), even with just a little whilst walking in the woods, it would be greatly appreciated.

Neighbourhood Plan Consultation

published on 7th Jun 2021

Important

This notice was last updated on 7th Jun 2021.

We are consulting upon the final draft of Escrick's Neighbourhood Plan from Monday 7th June until Sunday 18th July 2021. See escrick.org/ndp for details.


Hedges and pavements

published on 3rd Jun 2021

Important

This notice was last updated on 3rd Jun 2021.

The recent warm weather has given many plants a much needed growth spurt. However, as a result in a few places hedges and weeds are starting to encroach into pavements, and the visibility splays at junctions.

For the benefit of other residents, we'd appreciate people checking whether their frontage would benefit from a quick trim.  

The Highways Act 1980, section 154, creates a legal obligation for the owner or occupier of a property to ensure that the 'public highway' adjacent to their property is not obstructed by vegetation from their property. A 'public highway' means any verge, footway, carriageway, bridleway or footpath that is maintained at public expense and over which the public has a right of way.

As a guide, hedges/trees should be no lower than 7ft 6" over a pavement, and no lower than 17ft over a road.

The Parish Council's contractor will be cutting the hedges that the Parish Council maintains on their next visit to the village (within the next 2 weeks).

We are aware that some confusion exists around the legality and probity of cutting hedges during the bird nesting season. It is an offence under Section 1 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act of 1981 to intentionally damage or destroy the nest of any wild bird while it is in use or being built. As such, it is generally recommended to avoid cutting hedges where feasible during the peak nesting season of March – August.  Whilst it is best to defer significant pruning until outside the nesting season, it is not illegal to trim hedges during this time, providing reasonable steps are taken to check that a birds nest will not be damaged or destroyed.

Escrick Parish Council Update 

 

Bus stop: The provision of bins has been agreed by City of York Council.

Planning: The District Council has advised that they expect to do a further round of consultation on the local plan in the late summer/early Autumn. This is expected to include some additional sites put forward since the consultation in March, and may include an emerging preference on the new settlement proposals.

Highways: The Parish Council has received another complaint about parking associated with the primary school. It was agreed to pass this to the primary school for now, but when Covid restriction have ended to explore whether there are more proactive steps that can be taken.

Shop: The desire for a Post Office and/or shop in the village was a key theme from the Neighbourhood Plan surveys. Cllr Hawes has agreed to develop proposals as how the Parish Council might support this ambition, including looking at community shop schemes operated in other villages.

Maintenance: Cllr Chambers has painted the wooden posts at the Jubilee memorial, and replanted the planters in front of the village signs. The bushes overhanging the coronation memorial are to be trimmed back to allow the area to be tidied.  

Council: The Annual Meeting of the Parish Council was held on 4th May. The annual governance and account statements were approved. Cllr Rowson and Cllr Reader agreed to continue as Chair and Vice-Chair for a further year to allow others to prepare to take-on these roles.

Parish Council meeting dates:   Councillors agreed to cancel June’s meeting. Assuming no major changes to easing of Covid restrictions the Council will return to physical meetings from July. Future meeting dates: 5th July, 6th September and 4th October. Contact: Clerk (Sally Look), clerk@escrick.org,   Chair (Richard Rowson), chair@escrick.org; Website: escrick.org

Parish Magazine update - May 2021

published on 1st May 2021

Important

This notice was last updated on 1st May 2021.

The following update appears in May 2021 Parish Magazine:

Escrick Parish Council Update 

 

Bus stop:

The passenger transport team at City of York Council are still pursuing the installation of bins, road markings, and getting the stops added to the ‘All York’ travel ticket zone.

A decision on additional lighting has been put on hold until next winter.

Planning:

The Neighbourhood Plan working group are finalising documentation for informal public consultation, which will hopefully commence during May.

Highways:

North Yorkshire County Council has confirmed that their schedule of work for 2021/22 includes the ‘village gateway’ on Skipwith Road, and dropped kerbs for accessibility at various junctions in the village.

The request for double yellow lines on Skipwith Road north of Dower Chase is still pending, as is the request for a 20mph zone on Carr Lane in the vicinity of the primary school.

The bridge on Main St has been repointed, and a bid for funding has been submitted to fully repair the leaning parapet.

Councillors: We welcome Glen Hopkinson onto the Council, who was co-opted at April’s meeting. We still have two vacancies for Parish Councillors. Please contact the clerk or chair if you are interested in getting involved.

Parish Council meeting dates:   May’s meeting has been rescheduled to 4th May.  From 6th May the Council is no longer legally allowed to hold online meetings, as this would require Government to amend Primary Legislation. Councillors will agree at May’s meeting how the Council will continue to operate, as not all Councillors are comfortable to return to physical meetings. If meetings do go ahead, the planned dates are 7th June and 5th July. Contact: Clerk (Sally Look), clerk@escrick.org,   Chair (Richard Rowson), chair@escrick.org; Website: escrick.org
