Our Charter
What's happening?
In Ryedale, a series of public meetings were held in 2018 and 2019 where the community had their say on what matters to them both now and their vision for the future.
This community now has a charter identifying community needs, values and aspirations (reviewed annually). Residents are now working on various projects and local initiatives important to them.
The charter continues to evolve. It enables individuals across Ryedale communities who are interested in the same issues to make connections and work together to bring about the changes they want to see.
A number of villages, Parish Councils, community interest groups, organisations and societies have expressed interest in the charter and have asked for presentations to their meetings.

Local transport
- One of the top priorities to come out of the charter meetings was the lack of public transport in the Gilling East Parish. Local residents recently met with the Moors Bus group to obtain background information and contacts to enable our needs to be progressed. It was also agreed that in order to establish the level and type of need for local transport a questionnaire would be drawn up and circulated around the villages. A meeting has been held with a local company who own a mini bus and have expressed an interest in providing local transport support subject to insurance restrictions.

Condition of the local roads
An investigation is underway to detail the poor areas of road surface in the Gilling East Parish before contacting the NYCC, Ryedale Council, local councillors and MPs in an attempt to getting the road surfaces repaired to a safe standard where puddles are not allowing pedestrians to be splashed, potholes and broken edges are not damaging vehicles, and uneven inconsistent surfaces are not reducing braking efficiency leading to accidents.
