Parish Council

As a result of the two new dwellings in Station Road, the Parish Council has obtained a sum of £1,353 under the Community Infrastructure Levy Scheme. Suggestions for a community infrastructure spend would be welcome, in writing please to the Clerk.

In these extremely trying times, the first thing that I must say is that I hope all of our parishioners are safe and well and that everybody stays that way. Let us all hope that at this time next year, Scruton has another reason to call itself a ‘Thankful Village’.

Scruton School House is available for letting on an Assured Shorthold tenancy. The rent is £475 pcm.

There is a petition running on Change.org to stop Hambleton District Council from purchasing the farmland alongside the bypass and expanding the Leeming Bar Industrial Estate.

The grass cutters have asked that children should not play on the grass areas whilst cutting is in progress. The grass is cut every second Tuesday (usually between 1pm – 2pm) and on a recent occasion, some children were trying to outrun the machines – very risky!!!

The Parish Council have been notified that North Yorkshire County Council have rejected the request for a footpath from the A684 to the Scruton Station. The Parish Council has offered to provide Hi-Viz vests to any one who needs to walk this road, particularly during the hours of darkness. Please contact the Clerk to request…
