We have been in touch with our customers on how to be prepared this winter and what to do if they experience a power cut.
-
Our teams are on stand-by to be deployed to any affected areas and are prepared to help restore power as quickly as possible.
-
We are proactively contacting vulnerable customers who are registered as part of their free Priority Services Membership and engaging with stakeholders, local councils and Local Resilience Forums.

We encourage customers to report if they experience a power cut online at northernpowergrid.com or call 105, as this will help us to locate where the faults are on the network.
The Met Office has issued a weather warning for snow, rain and wind across both our North East and Yorkshire regions from 5am Saturday 23 November until 9am Sunday 24 November.
Storm Bert does have the potential to have an impact on the electricity network, so there is a possibility that there could be disruption to power supplies.

For Priority Services customers, we will ensure those affected receive the extra help they need and provide peace of mind if there is a power cut.
Our customer support vehicles and welfare partners are also prepped and ready to go out into local communities, where possible, to offer help on the ground to those who need it most.
If you come across someone you feel needs to be registered, they can register online at www.northernpowergrid.com/care

North Yorkshire & York Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS)
North Yorkshire Council would like to invite you to a webinar and a local in-person event (see locations below) for landowners, land managers and farmers, to consider how nature can be encouraged alongside your business.
These events follow on from the in-person events we held across the county during February 2024. Since those events, we have been working on establishing priorities for nature across North Yorkshire and York and we have been developing a corresponding Local Habitat Map for our region. We are keen to hear your views on these initial outputs and learn from your local knowledge and expertise in managing land and food production, so that we can feed this into the emerging Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for North Yorkshire and York.
The LNRS is expected to assist farmers and land managers to access incentives such as the Environmental Land Management scheme (ELMs), by guiding where actions for nature in their areas will be most beneficial. The LNRS will be a useful resource on which farmers and land managers can draw to inform their applications for funding. If you would like to learn more about the North Yorkshire & York LNRS please follow this link.
We will be holding an online webinar on the evening of Tuesday 12th November, which will be followed by daytime and evening in-person events across the county during November and early December. We welcome you to come along to learn more about the LNRS and share your views with us. Please register your place for our webinar and one of our in-person events through Eventbrite, using the links below.
Webinar – Tuesday 12th November (19:00-20:00)
The purpose of the webinar will be to provide attendees with an update on the LNRS since February 2024. We will also give a short demonstration of the Local Habitat Map and explain the intended format of the in-person workshops. Booking link: Tues 12th November – 19:00-20:00 – LNRS Land Manager Webinar
In-person events
The purpose of the in-person events will be to provide an update on the LNRS since February 2024 and to introduce the Local Habitat Map. This will be followed by a question & answer session to discuss some of the specifics of the map, an introduction to the Local Investment in Natural Capital (LINC) programme, opportunities for the funding and delivery for habitat improvements, and an update on work to be carried out on the LNRS during 2025. Places for the in-person events will be limited to 20 people per event and all events will be followed by a light meal.

Bin Collection Update 16.05.24
From the Service Development Manager (Waste)
Good afternoon,
We currently have an isolated issue with our online calendar, that has resulted in some properties showing the incorrect dates for recycling collections in the Selby area.
We are aiming to resolve this as soon as possible and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. There have been no changes to actual collections and this week we are just collecting brown paper/card recycling bins from all households and not the blue bins as well.
We are adding a message to the website advising customers of this issue and hope to have it resolved in the next couple of days.

Kelfield Parish Council
Kelfield lies in the Vale of York on the River Ouse between the villages of Riccall and Cawood in the District of Selby, North Yorkshire and has an adult population of approximately 360. It sits in a traditionally rural setting, surrounded by farmland and although there has been an influx of population, many of the residents can trace their roots in the village back several generations. There are still a number of working farms situated within the village and surrounding area.
The Grey Horse pub in Main Street is the social centre of the village together with the Village Institute on Riccall Lane, that has an active and enthusiastic management committee which hosts a growing number of activities for young people and adults throughout the week. Sporting activities are not neglected either, as is witnessed by the Kelfield Cricket Club which competes in the York League. The cricket ground is located on Riccall Lane, has a recently refurbished pavilion and is owned by the Parish Council.
For those with green fingers and a strong back, the Parish Council owned allotment gardens are available for rent, however, at present these are all fully occupied. Additionally, to the West of the village, the field known as Kelfield Landing on the Ings is rented out as grazing land.
Kelfield is not classified as a centre of development in the Selby District Core Strategy and will therefore be subject to only minor infill development during the period of the Local Development Plan, which will help to maintain the rural character of the village into the foreseeable future.
