The Police and Crime Commissioner . . .

. . . for North Yorkshire, Julia Mulligan has completed her first series of community surgeries.
She made a commitment to speak with residents on a regular basis and the surgeries will form the foundation of that promise. The surgeries will be divided into 15min private appointments and people can either email pccsurgeries@northyorkshire-pcc.gov.uk or ring 01765 641839 to request an appointment.

More surgery dates will be issued over the coming weeks and will be moved around the county to ensure as many people as possible can have the opportunity to speak privately with Julia.

Weir Restoration.

Will we make £200!!

'Crakehall Weir Restoration' has been registered with a fundraising website (www.fundraising.org.uk/causes/cwr) where those people who shop online can get a donation to the Weir Fund based on their spend.

So far (and time is running out as funds have to be raised by mid-summer)
19 people have registered - despite the fact that every
parishioner received a detailed explanation of what to do with the October 2012 newsletter - although they have raised
an excellent £185.06!!

You do not have to buy online as there is also a 'search' facility where you raise a penny for every two searches that you do - doesn't sound a lot but I can assure you that they ALL add up.

The full details are available from here!

Great and Little Crakehall - now known more generally as

Crakehall . . .

'Slide show of the village in pictures.'

. . . is a small, compact village
just 4 miles from the A1(M)(Junc.51) on the main A684 road
from Bedale to the Lake District, which puts it at
the gateway to Wensleydale.

Nestling between two beautiful National Parks,
it makes an ideal centre from which to explore
the Dales and Moors of North Yorkshire.

The Mobile Post Office is in the village, parked near to the Methodist Church - at the following times:
Monday - 9 to 10.30am
Thursday - 9 to 10.30am
Friday - 13.45 to 14.45pm

(North Yorkshire was voted the 'Most Beautiful County in England' in 2008!!

Within the village there are a number of holiday cottages, bed & breakfast accommodations and caravan sites as well as
many well known nearby attractions within about 30 minutes drive.

Although North Yorkshire has many attractive villages, Crakehall has rightly been described as the prettiest of those
in the lower Dales.

The five-acre village green with its giant sycamores and lime trees is dominated by Crakehall Hall and is enclosed by stone built
cottages dating back to the 1750's.

Overlooked by the village Inn, the green hosts both cricket and quoits to provide the typical village green scene in summer.
