Cold Kirby, where a 30mph limit is to be introduced THOUSANDS of pounds of taxpayers money looks set to be spent halving the speed limit on a no-through road in a remote farming village, despite a study revealing average speeds are already less than the proposed 30mph limit. Leading North Yorkshire County Council officers and councillors are set to approve launching a Traffic Regulation Order and installing the speed limit signs and lines in the historic North York Moors village of Cold Kirby, which was administered by the Order of Knights Templar in medieval times. Some residents and the North York Moors National Park Authority have raised concerns the signs would have a detrimental impact on the village near Sutton Bank, which is within a conservation area.

DRY conditions have forced the North York Moors National Park Authority to announce a fire alert. A lack of rainfall has led to heather and bracken ground vegetation becoming extremely dry. With the recent sunny weather set to continue for at least the remainder of the week, staff from the authority have been putting up fire risk warning signs at sites across the national park, advising people how they can help to reduce the risk. The signs will remain in place until the fire risk passes. The national park’s rangers are keen to stress that whilst the area can still be enjoyed safely, extra vigilance is required and fires and barbecues are prohibited.
