The 'Golden Globe' Version

"They are the only areas of North Yorkshire not to have a parish level council following May's local government reorganisation.  Two public consultations on the proposals have been carried out.

A decision last week by North Yorkshire Councillors means a third consultation might now be needed to change the number of town council wards in Scarborough from 5 to 15."

'Have a Word'

""Where is the guidance for conflict resolution or how to stand your ground if the problem is a broader group rather than one individual?"

"It’s home to a plethora of local stories and legends, some of which have made it into the game. In short, he says, it’s more than weird enough without the supernatural elements. One of the aims of his project, he says, is to conjure a virtual space that does justice to its idiosyncratic atmosphere."

'Potential Breaches'

"Hull councillors unanimously passed the “right to grow” motion that means the council will produce a map of suitable land it owns and help those who want to grow food on it overcome practical obstacles such as insurance or provision of water for the plants.

The motion, which will first go before the council scrutiny committee, follows a burgeoning local and national campaign for a “right to grow” on neglected urban land."

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/oct/16/hull-allow-right-to-grow...

"Campaigners say councils can meet the growing demand for places to grow in urban areas by stripping away bureaucratic obstacles such as growers requiring public liability insurance, which could be provided under councils’ existing insurance. Even land earmarked for development that sometimes lies unused for years could be cultivated for one or two harvests."

"A proposal to use wave power to produce renewable electricity for Scarborough and Whitby Harbours is to be given around £40k of feasibility funding. The money is coming from a seven million pound government grant which has been given to net zero projects in North Yorkshire and York."

"Living in a coastal area means it is critical our children learn to swim, but hundreds of children now have been left without lessons," she said."

"The authority's leader, Councillor Carl Les, said the council recognised the importance of the asset, both to the visitor economy and to local residents. "This council will do whatever we can, whatever the ownership in the future, whoever the operator may be in the future, but we are bound by the rules of receivership at the moment and I can't say anything more at the moment," he added."

'Formulate a Plan'

"A Year in the Life of a Year, a mangled New Year roundup that showcased his talent for the lightly silly and the purely funny, skills that make him the ideal author of a comedy for older kids and childish adults."

"As they duck, dive and scheme, we can once again enjoy the show’s aptitude for doing old jokes so well that they feel new. There are silly voices; a scene where someone says “starting … now!” but with a 20-second pause before the “now”; some fine business with two cups of tea, one of which has been spiked with laudanum; and a moment where an idiotic police constable, played by Thomas himself, says “I hate you!” and walks out of shot, the hilarity of which can only be explained by saying that Thomas is blessed with perfect comic timing."

To be fair Alpamare is quite technology advanced... and is probably the last Artistic building that  the Old Council ever installed.

"Cllr Dickinson said: “I have always been uncomfortable with a charity, Northumberland-based provider working those assets for the Council and communities. I will be interested to see, if and when information is shared about protections and assurances for all the public assets and finances in this business."

I think you might find that the loan interest was ring fenced by the 'car parking' income.

'Pods & Peas'

An informed discussion took place at the Newby and Scalby Parish Council with regard to comment on the proposed development of  "Approval of reserved matters for the erection of 135no. dwellings considering appearance, landscaping, layout and scale, following outline planning permission 19/00444/OL allowed on 08.07.2021 "

Of consideration here was the environmental impact not only in an area prone to flood risk, the water course that runs down Lady Edith's Drive from Throxenby Lake traverses under Scalby Road and eventually feeds into Peasholm Park.

The live planning application is with North Yorkshire Council as follows:

Pending Consideration: ZF24/01059/RM

Quants Eco quaintly report :

"Waterbodies in the surrounding area include an unnamed stream immediately north of the site connected to Throxenby Lake (located ~616 m to the west) and Peasholm Beck located ~404 m to the southeast; the nearest pond is located ~798 m east of the site associated with Peasholm Beck. The Sea Cut River is a tributary of the River Derwent that flows 1.36 km northwest of the site."

Under the Land Drainage Act 1991, all Councils acted as Agents for Yorkshire Water until 1998 when the statutory records for cultivated water courses were at the discretion of the local council to digitised access to surface water sewers and soak away drains.
