PUBLIC CONSULTATION - PEDESTRIAN CROSSING ON MARKET PLACE

Proposal: Installation of a raised table crossing on Market Place, Kirkbymoorside.

Closing date: 31 October 2023

In response to requests made by residents at this year's annual town meeting the Town Council has been liaising with the Highways Authority (North Yorkshire Council) to determine the feasibility of installing a safe crossing place on Market Place in the town centre.

The Highways Authority has determined that it would be possible to consider a “raised table crossing”, which would slow traffic and provide a designated safe pedestrian crossing point.

Photographs for illustration purposes only

The only location that has been identified by North Yorkshire Council Highways Authority as suitable for a raised table crossing is from 25 to 26 Market Place, i.e. crossing from the west side of Market Place, outside 'Love My Hair' to 'Age UK' on the east side of Market Place.

North Yorkshire Council have confirmed that whilst it has no budget provision for projects of this nature the Town Council can pursue this initiative at its own expense.

The project processes, before construction, would involve:

  • Site investigation
  • Road Safety Audit
  • Design - amendments to road drainage would likely be required
  • Formal Consultation with members of the public, Emergency Services, Bus Companies etc.
  • Legal Order

Initially, the only element the Town Council would need to pay for would be the cost of the Road Safety Audit which would be approximately £1,500. The Road Safety Audit is necessary to determine if a raised table should be implemented and that the project is feasible, in which case works would progress to Design and this will determine the construction costs. There is a possibility that the determination of the Road Safety Audit does not support implementation of a raised table, in which case the £1,500 would have been spent without reward.

In the first instance, the Town Council would like to invite views on whether a raised table crossing, from 25 to 26 Market Place would be supported by the community and a worthwhile investment by the Town Council.

Your views are important. Thank you in advance for your participation.

20's Plenty in Kirkbymoorside Town Centre

Extension to 20mph speed limit approved by North Yorkshire Council Highways Authority 

In 2020 a 20mph speed restriction was implemented on Westfields from the A170 junction outside Kirkbymoorside Primary School to West End and Tinley Garth. This was as a result of the Town Council’s application to North Yorkshire Council (the Highways Authority), in response to concerns voiced by members of the community about speeding traffic and the safety of pedestrians and motorists alike.

Last year the Town Council again contacted North Yorkshire Council to request an extension of the 20mph speed restricted zone in the town centre to include the full length of Piercy End from the A170 roundabout, onto Market Place and High Market Place. All due process has now been completed and the Town Council is delighted to report that its application has been approved. The Traffic Regulation Order will come into effect on the 2nd of October and will also apply to Church Street, Crown Square and Rivis Square.

It is hoped that this reduced speed limit in the town centre will have a positive impact on traffic and enhance pedestrian safety. The Town Council has also asked for a 20mph speed restriction elsewhere in the town, including on Howe End, Old Road and Gillamoor Road in Kirkbymoorside and Village Street in Keldholme but North Yorkshire Council have not been able to progress these applications.

Ryedale Community Grants available from North Yorkshire Council

Funding is available to any community-based organisation or group, for projects that make a positive impact on community owned or managed facilities and activities in Ryedale.

What can you apply for? Applications will be considered for projects that make a positive contribution to at least one of North Yorkshire Council's stated aims.

You can apply for up to £5000, although the maximum grant will be capped at 25% of your project costs. Projects under £1000 are eligible for 100% of grant funding. The amount of grant being requested must be clearly stated on the application form.

Applying for a grant Application forms are available via www.northyorks.gov.uk. All applications will be appraised by North Yorkshire Council officers. The relevant ward councillor will also be consulted. The Councillor for Kirkbymoorside ward is Cllr Greg White.

Commissioner Zoë makes the work of her office more available to the public stating her team of employees provide ‘huge value’

Commissioner Zoë makes the work of her office more available to the public stating her team of employees provide ‘huge value’

Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Zoë Metcalfe has today published a delivery plan for the Office of the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (OPFCC), which maps out the extensive work its employees undertake and how they make a positive difference for the public every day. 

Whilst the Commissioner is a politician who is elected by the public, the OPFCC is a non-political impartial organisation, whose purpose is to support the public’s elected Commissioner to deliver what they must do by law (their statutory duties).

The Delivery Plan for 2023-24 sets out the OPFCC’s main roles and responsibilities, its staff structure and planned activity for 2023. It explains the organisation will enhance public confidence, keep people safe and support victims in York and North Yorkshire.

It’s important to note that the OPFCC costs significantly less than the Government benchmark of 1% of the local police fund. The OPFCC is a public service, and in 2023/24 will be primarily paid for using just 0.7% of the Commissioner’s police funding allocation.

The OPFCC is structured as follows:

Commissioning and Partnerships

·       Commissioning and Partnership Management: Deliver around £5million worth of services that support victims, perpetrators and those who are most vulnerable in York and North Yorkshire.

·       Offending and Justice: Drive improvement in the criminal justice system and address offending and re-offending

·       Supporting Victims: An in-house team devoted to helping victims cope and recover after crime, whether they have received services from North Yorkshire Police.

Delivery and Assurance

·       Delivery and Assurance: Focus on supporting the Commissioner to hold the Chief Constable and Chief Fire Officer to account for delivering the police and crime plan and the fire and rescue plan. 

·       Business Governance: Provides executive support to the Commissioner and senior managers to ensure the overall running of the organisation and all its business functions, including compliance with legislation and best practice.

·       Fire and Rescue Authority: Ensures that the Fire & Rescue Service is properly governed and held to account.

Public Confidence

·       Communications and Engagement: Develop multi-media work to raise awareness of how the Commissioner carries out the public’s priorities and how communities can get involved in shaping that work.

·       Customer Service: North Yorkshire’s unique approach to feedback - the only team in the country who handle both police and fire and rescue services complaints and compliments functions - alongside organising, recruiting, and supporting the Commissioner’s statutory scrutiny work.

·       Public Confidence and Inclusivity: a brand new function focussing directly on public trust and working closely with Police and Fire to ensure that police and fire services are employees of choice for all and that they meet the needs of the diverse communities of York and North Yorkshire.

 

Commissioner Zoë said:

“To be effective as a Police, Fire, and Crime Commissioner, I need to be supported by an organisation that works well and can deliver tangible results for the people of York and North Yorkshire.

“There’s a mountain of hard work that goes on behind the scenes at the OPFCC which helps me to fulfil my statutory duties, to hold Chief Officers to account for the delivery of effective services, ensure that what matters to the public is reflected in local policing and fire and rescue plans, and commission services to support those impacted by crime.

“During my time as Commissioner, the OPFCC has continued to demonstrate its huge value and I hope that by publishing this delivery plan the public can understand how dedicated the organisation is to making a positive difference every day.”

In June this year Commissioner Zoe and the OPFCC team relocated their office to Harrogate Police Station on Beckwith Head Road in Harrogate, whilst continuing to work from other police and fire service buildings. This decision was to ensure that the joint estate is used as efficiently as possible, especially at a time of strain on public resources, and aims to improve collaboration with police and fire services, saving approximately £80,000 a year.

Simon Dennis, Chief Executive of the OPFCC added:

“A key part of my role as Chief Executive is to ensure that the OPFCC turns the Commissioner’s mandate from the public into reality. I’m immensely proud to lead a team that’s committed to making a positive difference for the public every day.

“Over recent months we’ve reduced our office overheads and restructured our team, ensuring we provide maximum value for money for local taxpayers and better able to deliver for the public.

“Our Delivery Plan shows how we drive improvements in policing and fire services as well as playing our vital role in protecting victims and the most vulnerable - keeping people and businesses in York and North Yorkshire safe and feeling safe.”
