Village Institute AGM
The Annual General Meeting of the Village Institute took place on
Wednesday 26th May. The meeting saw the
retirement of two stalwarts of the Institute committee. Chairperson Jean Moore, who has served for over
forty years, and Anne Moore, who
served as Secretary for 28 years, both stepped down. A presentation of flowers, cut glass vases and restaurant vouchers was
made to both ladies by Parish Council Chairman, John Amsden. He praised
their dedication and the work that they had put in to making the Village
Institute a viable concern. Both were instrumental in seeing the Institute
through some difficult financial times and ensured that it had survived and now
continues to thrive. Members of the village who were present at the meeting
also expressed their thanks and appreciation for all that Jean and Anne had
achieved. In their place the new Chairperson is David Moore and Tina Richard
has taken over the role of Secretary.
This year the regular Open Gardens Day will be replaced by a
Village Day on Sunday 4th July. The day will be open to residents only. However,
if you have family or friends staying they can attend.
A picnic will be held on the village green from 4pm onwards. In
order to comply with current Covid-19 restrictions please bring your own food,
drink & chair or picnic blanket and keep to the rule of 6.
For any queries, please contact Tina Richard via the village

Tree Planting
The memorial tree in
memory of James Ashcroft will now be placed in the area behind the Sports’
Pavilion. The ground will be cleared to create a small garden with an access
path and, possibly, some seating. Work on the vegetation around the site will
commence in the next few weeks and much of the rubble will be removed after
this.
Problems
on
After extensive correspondence and
the intervention of the local MP, the Parish Council has now received
up-to-date information from NYDNPA regarding the issues along Low Lane that
were first raised four years ago. Whilst the issues have not been fully
resolved, there seems to be a more co-operative stance being taken and it is
hoped that this will lead to a satisfactory conclusion to the problem. If you
have any concerns about the activity along Low Lane please contact Councillor
John Amsden in the first instance.

and benefit local people. Deadline for round 1 is 23rd May 2021.

Village WhatsApp Group
Carperby village now has
an active WhatsApp group. Should anyone wish to join the village group, please
message Tina Richard on 0771 5045600. In
order to join you will need to have a smart phone and download the app. Tina
can help if you have any doubts or queries. WhatsApp is a
free messaging application that lets users text, chat, and share media,
including voice messages and video, with individuals or groups. It relies on
data (broadband/4G) to send messages, so it doesn't cut into your monthly text
allotment. Every message and call is end-to-end encrypted by default, so WhatsApp
is quite secure for virtually all users. This level of encryption means not
even WhatsApp can see the content of your messages, despite what you might hear
online.
A number of residents
have enquired about the possibility of having vehicle activated speed signs in
the village. At the request of the Parish Council, NYC Councillor Peacock
contacted the County Highways Department. They have sent information regarding
the procedures, requirements and costs of installing these signs and it is
intended to submit this information to the Annual Residents’ Meeting in May, as
the cost will devolve upon the Parish Council.
Upper Dales Area Partnership
The date for the next meeting
is Wednesday 29th September 2021. Please contact Councillors Amsden or Sheldon
if you would like anything to be discussed at the meetings.
Parish Forums
The
Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority
hopes to continue to hold a series of parish forum meetings, as a way to engage more
closely with parish councils within the YDNPA. Please contact Councillor Amsden
for details of the meeting and let the Parish Council know if there is anything
you would like to be added to the future agendas. Details here: http://www.yorkshiredales.org.uk/living-and-working/parish-councils-and-meetings/parish-forums
AYSGARTH SURGERY - EVENING APPOINTMENTS
A quick reminder that appointments are available at Aysgarth Surgery on Tuesday
evenings for those needing to see a doctor after work.
Community
First Responders - REMINDER
The First Responders are still looking to recruit additional volunteers to the
team. This does not require a great deal of time and can easily be
arranged around your work/family/social commitments. A short training programme
and a qualification test are all that is needed. Even a small commitment would
be helpful to them and the local Ambulance Service. If you are interested
in joining or simply wish to know more about the service they provide, please
contact David Brampton on 663561.
DOG WASTE BINS IN CARPERBY
One of the issues to emerge from the recent Parish Plan Event in January was the continuing problem of dog waste in the village. The main problem seems to stem from visitors and it was felt that the location of the dog waste bins could be better advertised. IF YOU OWN A HOLIDAY LET IN THE VILLAGE OR USE YOUR SECOND HOME FOR FRIENDS AND VISITORS, PLEASE PRINT & DISPLAY THE ATTACHED MAP. More copies of the map are available from Councillor Sheldon at The Quarter House.
