CPR volunteers requested
published on 28th May 2016
The Parish Council has recently obtained a Community CPR training kit ( https://www.bhf.org.uk/heart-health/nation-of-life... ) and is in the process of arranging a public CPR training session.
Although the training is DVD based, and can be delivered entirely by DVD - it would be preferable if someone with suitable CPR experience and training was able to attend the session to answer any questions and assist with the practical demonstration.
If anyone has suitable experience and would be willing to spare an hour or two, please can you contact Richard - chair@escrick.org.

Councils to carry out traffic survey
published on 14th Apr 2016
Motorists in Selby are to be asked to take part in a major survey of traffic patterns in a bid to ease congestion on the highway network.
Consultants working for North Yorkshire County Council and Selby District Council are to conduct roadside interviews with drivers during April to gather vital information about journey patterns.
They are collecting information to create a traffic model which will allow the councils to identify possible solutions to traffic congestion and to assess the potential impact on traffic of any new development.
“We want to do everything we can to support the development of Selby district and that means improving our transport infrastructure and having a traffic model in place that is fit for purpose,” said County Councillor Don Mackenzie, North Yorkshire’s Executive Member for Highways. “The information on journey patterns that we collect in this survey will be of great importance to our engineers and planners in deciding where to invest money and resources to get the outcome we all want to see – fewer jams, easier traffic flow, more pleasant driving conditions for residents and the travelling public and to support business and economic development.”
The roadside traffic surveys will begin in April, and both councils have appealed to motorists to cooperate when directed by police officers to stop and participate.
Individual surveys do not take long to complete, and while participation is voluntary, the more drivers who help provide information, the more beneficial will be the result. All information is treated in strict confidence.
Each survey site is operated in one direction, on one day only, with each interview lasting no more than three minutes. Every effort will be made to keep any delays to an absolute minimum.
