Better Walking Connectivity Through Seat Provision

They need Summer planting in a few weeks time but have you noticed the new seats and planters springing up around town? New seats for Beverley Road nr Tesco’s, Howe Hill, Langton Road and Springfield Garth. We have tried to improve the walking and connectivity routes across the town. There is a further seat planned for the Bazley’s Lane vicinity.

Little Free Library arrives in Norton

The Little Free Library is now open in Norton, just to the side of St Peters Church.

The library has been set up thanks to the efforts from a local family, from literary events consultancy Books Up North and a host of other volunteers.

It is located, by kind permission of the Wardens, in the grounds of St Peter’s Church on Langton Road.

The free library is available for everyone to access but everyone is urged to use it responsibly and to follow the current government guidance regarding the coronavirus.

All of the books have been donated by people in the community.

Neighbourhood Plan – Time To Consult

Neighbourhood Planning Regulation 14 Public Consultation –

Malton and Norton Neighbourhood Development Plan

In accordance with Neighbourhood Planning Regulation 14, Malton Town Council and Norton-on-Derwent Town Council are undertaking a public consultation and would like to invite comments from organisations and individuals on its Pre-Submission Neighbourhood Development Plan.

The public consultation runs from Friday 12th February until Friday 26th March 2021.

Proposed Malton and Norton Neighbourhood Development Plan

Malton Town Council and Norton-on-Derwent Town Council have produced a Neighbourhood Development Plan which covers the whole of the civil parishes of Malton and Norton-on-Derwent.  The plan contains a vision for the parishes along with a set of objectives, planning policies and proposals and community actions to achieve the vision.  The planning policies within the plan seek to protect the character and meet the needs of the parishes, with policies guiding new development, notably for highways, the River Derwent corridor, community facilities, tourism and culture, the horse racing industry, housing and employment, as well as protection and enhancement policies relating to the green environment (including Local Green Spaces) and the built environment (including conservation areas).

Following this consultation, the plan will be amended and then submitted to Ryedale District Council (RDC), as required, for a further Regulation 16 consultation and independent examination. The plan, if successful at examination, will then proceed to a local referendum.  If the plan receives a majority vote the district council will adopt the plan which will then become part of the statutory development plan – the Local Plan – for Ryedale.  Any planning applications submitted within the boundary will be determined in accordance with this plan.

Norton Is Blooming

Norton in Bloom has enjoyed its first year enhancing the town with planters. We have probably achieved about 80% of what we set out to do, considering the virus is around we were pleased with this outcome.

The first thing we did was enhance the entrance signs by creating proper beds at Scarborough Road and Beverley Road. These were then planted with petunias and begonias in the main.

We then added planters to Mill Street and Commercial Street and placed a central tree with an abundance of flowers surrounding, mainly petunias, geraniums and bacopa trailing. The Mill Street planters contained Mesembryanthemums and they loved the sun. As per picture below.

We added planters to the Swimming Bath walls and renovated the three tier planter outside the public toilets on church street. This now looks lovely with petunias and trainling lobelia spraying out of the sides. We also added a second planter to Wood Street / Wold Street corner to match the other. Photo below.

We hope you enjoy our flowers whilst summer lasts. Plans for next year include adding a few floral beds around town.
