The Parish Council have been asked to publish the attached notice regarding a meeting of the ACC on Wednesday 13th January 2021 @ 10.00am
North Yorkshire Community Messaging – COVID 19 Vaccine Scam
Sent on behalf of Neighbourhood Watch.
we have been alerted to a highly believable scam which starts with a text and advises the user that they are eligible to apply for the vaccine and to click on the link in the text message. The user is then led to a webpage, which looks very convincing and asks them to complete some details, in order for them to be able to apply for the vaccine.
Follow this ink for more information.

Have your say on budget priorities
Flaxton Parish Council have received the following email from NYCC and have been asked to circulate it to our Parish.
Individuals are invited to respond and we would encourage you to do so.
Have your say on our budget priorities
Dear Parish Clerk.
We have faced a very challenging financial environment in the last 10 years, with significant reductions in government funding but increasing demand. As a result, spending power has reduced by more than a third over the last decade.
When austerity began in 2010, we projected a budget shortfall of £186m by the end of 2021/22. This position has continued to deteriorate, reflecting in particular the pressure on the budget for children’s and young people’s services and the impact of Covid-19. Savings of £173m have already been achieved, however, a further £103m needs to be found over the next three years.
We estimate that the pandemic will cost it an additional £82m this year from expenditure to support vulnerable residents and measures to combat Covid-19 and lost income from council tax and business rates.
To fund pandemic support and recovery as well as priority areas we are considering increasing council tax by 1.99% in 2021, equivalent to £27 a year for an average household. Each 1% rise equates to £3m. In its spending review this month, the Government said that councils could raise council tax by an additional 3% specifically for adult social care.
We are asking North Yorkshire residents to take part in our annual budget consultation to have their say on setting council tax for next year and our longer term plans and priorities.
People can take part in the consultation online at www.northyorks.gov.uk/yourservicesyoursay
The consultation will close on Monday 11 January.
Please share this email with parish council colleagues and local residents.
If you have any queries about the consultation, please email
Thank you.
A64 2020 Survey Response
Good Afternoon
I hope this email finds you well. Earlier this year we sent out a questionnaire to ask for feedback following a significant amount of work carried out on Highways England’s behalf on the A64. We received a good response to the questionnaire and a wide variety of questions were posed. We have now collated the information and have put them together on the attached with our responses. Our apologies for the delay. Much of the feedback received was anonymous so we were unable to respond to individuals in those cases but it was felt others may be interested in the responses so we have distributed this document with that in mind. Where contact details were provided we have provided responses that are included. We are happy for this to be passed to anyone you feel this may be of interest to, there is also a copy of this document available on Highways England’s website.
We hope this is of interest to you, thank you for your time.
Kind regards
Karen
