NEW VICE
CHAIR APPOINTED TO AUTHORITY
The North
Yorkshire Police Authority yesterday appointed Mr Bill Baugh
as its new Vice Chair. Mr Baugh has been a member of the Authority
since 2003 and is currently the Chairman of its Policy and Planning
Board.
Bill lives
in Nidderdale. He spent most of his working life in engineering
manufacturing, latterly as Chief Executive and main board director
of a publicly quoted engineering company. He was also a director
and chairman of an executive search and selection organisation
and brings valuable management and business experience to the
Authority.
Following
his appointment Bill said, “I am delighted to have been
given this opportunity to play an even greater part in influencing
the quality of policing within North Yorkshire and the City
of York. Crime rates have been reduced across almost all categories
and areas, detection rates have increased and the public are
feeling safer. North Yorkshire is officially one of the safest
places to live. This has not been achieved without a lot of
hard work and of course resources. But we cannot be complacent.
As Vice Chair of the Authority I look forward to working closely
with the Chairman, my colleagues on the Authority, the Chief
Constable and most importantly the communities to make this
an even better place to live”
Retiring
Vice-Chairman Jim Fender JP has been a member of the Authority
since 1988 and is well know in the Harrogate/Ripon area as a
Magistrate and active member of the local community. He has
been Vice Chairman since 2003. Jim spent his working life with
the Harrogate Health Service Trust leaving his post as Chief
Financial Officer in 2003. For nearly 30 years he has devoted
his time and energies to public service focusing on improvements
in health services, better policing and building public confidence
with the criminal justice system.
Chairman
of the Police Authority Jane Kenyon, said ‘Jim’s skills
will be much missed by his colleagues and the work of the Authority.
He has made an enormous contribution to policing of North Yorkshire
and the City of York during the last 20 years and we all have
much to thank him for.’
INDEPENDENT MEMBERS NEEDED

Police Authority will be seeking members of the public to join
the Authority as from 1 October 2008.

will have four vacancies that it needs to fill following the

Act 06 and the retirement of former member David Carter.
Full details

www.nypa.org.uk and applicants will need to complete a recruitment

SAFER NEIGHBOURHOODS
OFFICER AWARDS
This year’s
process will see each Safer Neighbourhood Team having one Police
officer and Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) being nominated
to the next stage of the awards process. Officers can be nominated
from members of the community using the nomination forms available
either through the Authority's website (link below) or through
your local Inspector via the 0845 60 60 24 7 non-emergency number.
Each of
the 17 Safer Neighbourhood Team nominations for both the Police
Officer and PCSO will be considered in partnership with the
local Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) for the
accolade of being the Safer Neighbourhood Police Officer or
PCSO for their CDRP area.
The Authority

from these nominations that one Police Officer and one PCSO
will be chosen to represent the Force at the national Community
Police Officer Awards held in November.

Selby District
Council have fully supported the development of FREE travel
for the elderly by ensuring that ALL bus journeys for the elderly
can take place across the borders with East Riding, South Yorkshire,
West Yorkshire.
Recent meetings of the CIPs group have seen talks with North
Yorkshire Police regarding Community Safety issues.
A newly
formed additional CIP group will look at District-wide projects
and help to identify larger scale developments.
Are YOU
applying for funding for your project ? If you are it is vital

local area, is included in your Parish Plan and has been listed
with your CIP Group.

Social Services Developments
North Yorkshire County Council and Selby District Council have
embarked on a new project-Partnerships for Older People's Projects

a single point of access for health, housing and social crae;
promoting the use of information technology to help improve
safety for individuals and their carers; developing a community
outreach approach to enable communities to support their elderly
residents.

Safe Neighbourhood Sweeps - Timetable
?
Cleansweep
takes about one hour for the Police, Council members and community
leaders to walk round an area identifying trouble spots and
making recommendations to solve the problem. This may be the
installation of new lighting, tidying an area up, clamping down
on fly-tipping or having hedges cut and new kerbing installed.
The idea is that Community Safety is for all the community to
find solutions to local problems.
Cleansweep will have a timetable for Parish Councillors to meet
Police and others to do their community walk-look out for details
locally.

Many communities are now developing projects to empower local
people and help capacity-building in their areas.
Some communities are looking at ways of involving local people
in developing information technology.
Beal Parish Council with the Village Hall Trust are looking
at helping to provide broadband to homes, develop computer training
and introduce an internet café to help people use IT
for information, jobsearching and find various help organizations.
TRAINING FOR VILLAGE HALLS
Selby Leader Plus are working with YRCC to produce a training
day with accreditation for members of village hall committees
in the District.
This follows work done on the Leader Plus visit to Flevoland,
Holland earlier this year.
The EU Village Halls How To Handbook is in draft form at present.
Village Halls Development
The Selby
Leader Plus manual on How to run and develop village halls will
be published soon.
Many community groups will now be able to apply to the Big Lottery
Community Buildings Fund which opens on 11th July. This is a
new fund aimed at developing amongst others, village halls.
Information can be found from their website at
www.biglottery.org.uk and DEFRA have introduced a website detailing
where to apply for funds to develop village halls at
Www.defra.gov.uk/rural/communities/halls/
Just a reminder that only up to £7500 in vat can be reclaimed
in one year from HM Customs and Revenue for projects relating
to refurbishing of village halls. If your expected expenditure
is more then community groups are advised to phase their work
over more than one year. This is the only restriction which
applies also to Parish Councils.
