Minutes of the May
meeting were
approved and signed as being a true record.

a)
Co-option of new
Councillor
b) 30 mph speed limit
There was no update
from David and this item will be carried forward.
c) NYCC Highways Parish Portal workshop
Jem reported that he
had attended. The portal provides a
mechanism whereby the Council can report highways defects directly onto the
database used by the engineers and monitor the response. The Council welcomed the facility.
d) Footpath railing
Most of the
necessary repair had been completed promptly following a reminder from
Jem. The end post remains broken. Andy and Simon undertook to replace it.
4. New

Giant hogweed at
Crambeck
This has been treated again by the East
Yorkshire Rivers Trust with assistance from Andy and Jem. Funding for the work this year has yet to be
clarified.
b)
Public footpath
monitoring
Rona Charles explained that she had attended
a meeting of Ryedale Ramblers aimed at initiating a programme involving local
volunteers monitoring public footpaths and bridleways. She has heard from 12 parishioners who are
willing to assist and has contacted neighbouring parishes where sections of
PRoW are shared. She will agree
allocations with volunteers and continue to act as co-ordinator.
5. Planning
a) New
House at Musley Bank
Approved.
Michael Cleary explained (as Chairman of RDC planning committee) that he
had not been in favour as he considered that the proposed development did not
meet the criteria required for exception under Section 55. The Committee, however, had taken a different
view.
b) Detached
outbuilding at 2 Club Cottage
Approved
c) Extension
to Tofu unit at Malton Enterprise Park
Approved
d) Water production plant at Malton
Enterprise Park
Richard noted that the application included
parking for distribution vehicles and wondered whether it was possible to
append a question about traffic movements on the A64 to any response. It was agreed that this should be the subject
of a separate approach
6. Finance
a) Budget progress
The
report to 30th June was considered to show that the position was
satisfactory.
7. Any Other Business
a) Crown
lifting/reduction to Copper beech opposite Herbie’s
Simon presented a quotation provided by a
contractor engaged on private work locally who had learned that this had been
discussed by the Council previously. It
was agreed that there was no need for such work at present.
b) Potholes
Low Lane End
The problem of neither of the highways
authorities accepting responsibility for maintenance of A64 junctions was again
discussed. Michael Cleary will raise it
with NYCC Councillor Caroline Goodrick.
c) A64
verge cutting
Simon reported that the grass between the
pavement and fence NW of Barneygate Lane End was obstructing sight of
approaching traffic. Jem will ask Mark to strim that
stretch.
