What’s Going On
Obstruction Pinfold Hill
Following the building of a traffic island in Pinfold Hill, a large number of the
community are asking questions, who’s done that and why.
Firstly the Parish Council were not consulted or new anything about it until the morning of 16th September 2011 when the building work started. They also objected to the property being built in the first place.
This is North Yorkshire Highways dept’s solution to the owner not spending his own money to move the Telecom box. Effectively he’s bought a piece of our road; with North Yorkshire County Council highways dept consent to save himself money.
So how do you feel. We need feedback to mount a campaign to get rid of this intrusion into our community by someone who doesn’t even live here.
I have informed the press HERE with the document HERE I also wrote to my MP Nigel Adams. You can also write to the press and your MP and complain.
You can complain to Selby DC planning dept HERE
You can raise it as an issue at the Community Engagement Forum HERE MENU Eastern Area CEF MENU Raise your issue.

YOU do nothing then nothing will change.

SPEEDING on Selby Road
Do we have a problem on Selby Road with speeding cars. Some residents are concerned for the safety of people; in particular children, walking into the village along Selby Road. So much so they are prepared to do something about it by raising an issue with the Community Engagement Forum.
You could show your support by submitting an issue HERE MENU Eastern Area CEF MENU Raise your issue. This will put pressure on the Police to do more.
