Notice of a meeting to launch a new Crayke Local History Group
Thursday 28th November 2019
Despite regular reminders we are still experiencing littering and dog fouling around parts of Crayke. There is no excuse for dog fouling, and not only is it unpleasant it also represents a health hazard to people, pets, livestock and wildlife.
Crayke PC and Hambleton DC have provided 5 litter bins and 8 dog waste bins around Crayke village. The majority of dog walkers do responsibly clean up after their dogs, but the minority who don’t should be aware that dog fouling is an offence under British law, and is classified as anti-social behaviour on the part of the dog owner, and may be subject to conviction and fines.
Anyone witnessing dog fouling can report this to either the Parish Council, Hambleton District Council (using this link: https://www.hambleton.gov.uk/info/20122/animals_and_pests/35/dogs/2) or using the police non-emergency phone number 101.
A map is provided here to remind everyone of the locations of all litter and dog waste bins. Please click on the link below:
Reporting potholes and other road and Highways problems
Most road users are aware that the roads in our area are in a generally poor condition, made even worse by recent weather. Crayke Parish Council is very aware of this problem and of the concerns of parishioners. Not only is the matter discussed at most council meetings, but the council regularly takes action to take these concerns to North Yorkshire County Council Highways, who are responsible for all but major Trunk roads and Motorways.
However there are also things that all of us can do to help, by reporting problems directly to NYCC Highways. Here is how:
If you know of a pothole or other problem which is considered an emergency (that is, an immediate danger to road users) then you should telephone and report this. The number to call is 01609 780780 and ask for Highways. Outside office hours you should call 999.
Any pothole or road condition issue that is not considered an immediate emergency can be reported either by telephone as above, or can be reported online.
To report a road condition problem online, go to this web page:
https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/potholes-and-road-condition-issues
You can either register as a user (and set up your own free user account), or you can report a problem anonymously.
It is a great help when people report such problems themselves, as this ensures the information provided is from first hand experience and therefore likely to be more accurately reported.
Thank you.

In recognition of the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Conservation Area designations, councillor Lesley Hartley explains something of their background and the value of Crayke conservation area.
The grassed area on Church Hill between the highway and the property boundaries (on both sides) is a highly valued and much loved open space, loved by residents of Crayke and by visitors alike.
The fact that this Area remains in such good and visually appealing condition is a testimony to the efforts of the people of Crayke over many decades. The open area on Church Hill is also protected by various laws and regulations. From time to time the Parish Council decides to remind parishioners and visitors to Crayke about these regulations and asks for help in protecting the green.
Attached is a letter recently sent out to all residents on Church Hill, although the points made all apply to all residents and visitors to Crayke.
