Sandbags
North Yorkshire Council is simplifying its approach to supporting communities who need access to sandbags during a flood incident.
From the beginning of October 2024 if a member of public requires access to sandbags they should Google Sandbags North Yorkshire. If there is an immediate need for sandbags then they can call 0300 131 2 131 and either say Sandbag when prompted or follow the instructions.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England is asking
for your views on our electoral review of North Yorkshire. The review will agree new division boundaries across the council.
• Do you have suggestions about where your division boundaries
should be?
• Where do people in your area go to access local facilities, such as
shops and leisure activities?
• Which areas do you identify as your local community?
For info.

Let’s Talk Active
The council would like to know if you are physically active, what is important to you about being active, and any barriers you face. This will help them to develop council leisure facilities and community-based sport and leisure services now and in the future. Watch a short video about the survey here
https://youtu.be/nBG5FRZGw_0
The council’s new Active North Yorkshire service will have a stronger focus on health and wellbeing, supporting more people to be active, especially people who may need additional support and who don’t currently use our services. If you are a leisure centre user, gathering information on how you perceive and experience your local leisure centre will help the council to identify strengths as well as areas for improvement. Please also fill in the survey if you don’t currently use council facilities - understanding why you don’t use them is just as valuable.
Understanding what’s important to you in terms of physical activity helps to develop facilities and plan programmes of activity. It helps the council to know what they currently do well, what they could do better and differently and where the gaps are.
There are several ways you can take part in Let’s Talk Active:
You can fill in an online survey here https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/LetsTalk – the survey is on Commonplace, which is a safe and easy-to-use online tool used to engage with communities, by over 250 organisations including neighbouring councils in Leeds and West Yorkshire.
If you would prefer, you can pick up a paper copy from your local library, leisure centre or main local office and return it in the envelope provided.
You can also email letstalk@northyorks.gov.uk or call 0300 131 2 131 (please say ‘Let’s Talk’ when prompted) to request a survey.
You can write to: Let’s Talk, North Yorkshire Council, County Hall, Northallerton, DL7 8AD
Accessible formats of the survey are available on request. Please share your views with the council and encourage your colleagues, friends and family to do the same. The survey closes on 4 November 2024.
