Parish Council Response to the Key Decisions Consultation – Ryedale Plan

Following on from the recent website article outlining the process for having your say on the Key Decisions Consultation – Ryedale Plan, the Parish Council have submitted their own response. This was in the form of a letter rather than the online form. A number of parish residents have asked to see the letter, so it is available here for reference.

If you cannot see the 3-page letter above, the letter may be downloaded here: https://www.slingsbyvillage.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Slingsby-Parish-Council-Key-Decisions-response.pdf

We would still encourage residents to put in their own individual responses.

Research Participant Wanted

Victoria Wells writes:

I am looking for somebody who would like to take part in some research I am doing about pub visiting behaviour.  The person needs to be over the age of 60, not in receipt of out of work benefits, must not have an alcohol problem and would describe themselves as a regular pub visitor (preferably visiting pubs each week but up to once a month).  

The research involves a short one page questionnaire, a q-sort exercise (essentially a structured card sorting exercise) and a short (approx 10min) interview.  All together the research takes about 45minutes.

If you would be interested in taking part or would like to know more please get in contact with me on [email protected]
