Fireworks

/in /by

Whilst we understand people like to sometimes celebrate events with fireworks, we are also aware that many animals are distressed by them.

There are no restrictions on holding firework events on any day so long as they are lit between 7am and 11pm (exceptions are before 12pm on 5th November and before 1am on New Year’s Day).

The Parish Council thought it might be helpful to let people know in advance of any events involving fireworks in the area (when we are notified) so that steps can be taken to minimise any upset for animals.

There will be private firework events in or near Flaxton on Saturday 8th October 2022 at 9pm and during the evening of Friday 4th November 2022.

There will of course be other events around the 5th November 2022 when some families celebrate Guy Fawkes Day.

If you would like to inform us of any other planned firework events, please contact

Thank you.

Scam Warning

/in /by

Please see the following warning from North Yorkshire Police:

North Yorkshire Police have received a number of reports over the weekend from residents who have received a text message to apply for the £400 energy rebate. This is a scam. The rebate is applied directly by the energy companies and you do not have to apply for it. The text message encourages the user to click on a link and is then asked to input banking details. I suspect the format will then follow similar scams (Royal Mail Delivery/Covid contact) where the victim will subsequently receive a call claiming to be from their bank telling them they are monitoring suspicious activity on their account and they need to move their money to protect it.

Remember, the police or bank will NEVER ask you to move money to a safe account.

You can report scam text messages by forwarding them to 7726 which is a free service
