Newsletter No. 24
Hi *|FNAME|*, Welcome to what may be our penultimate newsletter. We hope you are keeping safe and well. The following news items have been posted on our website recently and we would like to bring them to your attention here: Parish Clerk Vacancy
The Parish Council has an upcoming vacancy for a Parish Clerk / Responsible Financial Officer. If you know of anyone who may be interested in the position, further information is available here. Jubilee Recreation Field Update
On 24th March 2020 we closed the Jubilee Recreation Field and children’s play area following Government instructions and advice from Harrogate Borough Council (HBC) Parks and Environmental Services. Under phase 3 of The UK Government’s COVID-19 recovery strategy, (29th June target) we are hoping to be able to re-open the Field and play area around the end of June, subject to social distancing and hygiene maintenance. We will shortly be undertaking essential maintenance work on the play area and preparing appropriate signage before re-opening. We will however await final confirmation from HBC before unlocking the gates. Parish Council Meeting
The first meeting of the Parish Council since February 2020 is scheduled to take place in the next couple of weeks. This will be the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council that was postponed on 19th May 2020 due to Corvid-19 restrictions. The meeting will take place on-line and will be open to the public. The date and time of the meeting and details of how to join will be available on the Upcoming Events page of our website in the next few days. The Annual Parish Meeting will not take place this year due to Corvid-19 restrictions. Need a Face Covering to go on the Bus or Train?
On 4th June 2020 the Transport Secretary announced that face coverings will be required while using public transport in England from Monday 15th June 2020. Staveley resident Yvonne Crawford is making suitable coverings available free. They are cotton fabric, washable at 60o, double layer, tie on, and one-size-fits-all. The face coverings are available in lots of colours from Yvonne at: Face coverings are not the same as face masks. It is important that people do not use medical grade PPE masks to ensure these remain available for frontline staff. Last month, the government set out advice for people on how to make their own face coverings easily at home, using scarves or other textile items. These face coverings should cover the mouth and nose while allowing the wearer to breathe comfortably and can be as simple as a scarf or bandana that ties behind the head to give a snug fit. Have you helped a neighbour during the Covid-19 pandemic?
Staveley has been operating a buddy scheme since the start of the isolation restrictions, with many residents offering to help their neighbours. If you would like to take part in the survey, you can do so at here. It should take just a few minutes to complete. Plants and Vegetable Sale
Ken Barker organised a Plant Sale with a difference on Saturday 30th May 2020, which was very well supported by Staveley residents. Most of the plants were grown from seed which Ken had bought himself, plus plant donations from others in the village. This excellent effort by Ken and his helpers raised over £400 for NHS charities and will be donated to Harrogate District Hospital via their just giving page. Ken wishes to thank everyone who helped at the plant sale, those who contributed and those who purchased the vegetable and ornamental plants. The next phase of helping the village will consist of Ken acquiring more plants and seeking donations of produce so that help can be given to the Church and the village hall. These will all be made available from the stall in front of the village hall. Signs on Bedlam Lane – Update
Following a request by the Public Rights of Way Officer at North Yorkshire County Council, the signs at either end of the unsurfaced section of Bedlam Lane (U8086/9/50) have now been removed by the landowner. Buy Local Marketplace
North Yorkshire Connect Community Directory
North Yorkshire Connect Community Directory (NY Connect) is an online resource for people of all ages, helping them to find out about local activities, services, advice and guidance that is relevant, reliable and accessible 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
