20mph in Kirkbymoorside town centre
The Town Council have applied to NYCC Highways Authority for a reduced speed limit of 20mph in the town centre, for the length of Piercy End, Market Place and High Market Place, and on Grey Lane in Keldholme. Whilst confirmation has been received that the application for a reduced speed limit in Keldholme will not be feasible, North Yorkshire Police and NYCC Highways Authority have no objection to a reduced speed limit in the town centre.
NYCC Highways & Transportation have consulted with the Statutory Consultees, being other emergency services, District Council etc, with no objections raised. Now a public consultation is in progress with a closing date of 4 November. If there are no objections, then the 20mph speed reduction will be passed. If objections are received, then a Report will be presented to the NYCC Director and Executive Members for determination.
Traffic surveys have been carried out at each location. Click here for the traffic survey reports.

Let's Talk North Yorkshire
Are local issues important to you? The new North Yorkshire Council launches on 1 April 2023, and they want to find out how they can best support your local community.
They will be out across Kirkbymoorside over the next few months to find out which issues matter most to the people who live and work here, and they want to hear what you have to say.
The new North Yorkshire Council is being built with local at the heart of everything it does, empowering local communities and making services easier to access.
Around 30 community networks across North Yorkshire will decide local priorities and will see communities work with businesses and public sector agencies to have a stronger voice and get things done, supported by an area coordinator.
North Yorkshire Council needs your help to define the areas these Community Networks should cover. Have your say by taking part in North Yorkshire’s biggest countywide conversation, Let’s Talk, either online or in person.

Ryedale District Council's Green Dog Walkers Scheme
After a successful pilot over the past few months, we are launching our Green Dog Walkers Scheme.
Dogs are a valued part of the community in Ryedale, with many dogs living in the area. We want to make sure the good practices of many dog owners are shared and celebrated.
The Green Dog Walkers scheme began in Falkirk and has now been adopted by over 40 councils across the UK.
It is a non-confrontational and friendly way to change attitudes about dog fouling.
Green Dog Walkers are role models for responsible dog ownership and sign up to the pledge to always:
- Clean up after their dog
- Carry extra dog waste bags
- Be happy to be approached to ‘lend’ a dog poo bag to those without
- Be a friendly reminder to other dog walkers to clean up after their dogs
Dog owners who take the pledge will play a part in helping to keep their communities free from dog fouling. They will receive a free dog collar and tag.
Officers from our Community team launched a pilot of the scheme at the Castle Howard Festival of Dogs in May and have since promoted it at several events.
We also held a sign up event in the grounds at Ryedale House during Bring Your Dog to Work Day on 24 June for staff and councillors to take the pledge.
Over 95 people have now signed up and after a successful pilot we're officially launching the project across the district.
Residents and visitors can sign the Green Dog Walkers pledge online via the link below to the Council’s public consultation and engagement platform Commonplace.
We would appreciate it if you could share this scheme with anyone you think would benefit from it.
