“The new headquarters will operate on a hot desk basis, so we are taking the opportunity to move towards this cultural change whilst at the Old Vicarage. Therefore, we have introduced a desk, vehicle and meeting room booking system (Deskbird) which went live on the 1 July, which will also help manage capacity pressures exacerbated by the closure of the second floor offices.”

“The village is recorded as a very small settlement in the Domesday Book. The name of the village was first recorded in 1086 as Leuecen, and it derives from Old Norse, meaning the farmstead of Leofgeat's people. The village is believed to have moved location due to the Black Death in the 14th century.”

Sleep Tight.
Oh, OK ... Let's start with the important stuff first.
Three Smithy's, two Parkies, six Parish Councillors and four members of the public turned out... along with a Special Guest from the Woodsmith Foundation.
Apparently, they haven't forgotten Skardiborgivegas after all and the Woodsmith Foundation has been proactive in seeking 'Community Interest Groups' from not only Whitby, Redcar & Cleveland but us poor disadvantaged souls too : The deadline for Wood Smith Foundation is fast approaching , ie the 5th of November... should you be short of writing material please contact them directly as they will let you know if you are elegible... (big word there) and can help you source funding independent of the Usual Suspects:
https://www.woodsmithfoundation.org.uk/
Community Groups such as 'Educational', 'Health and Wellbeing', 'Environmentals', 'Skills' etc wot like Guides and Scouts do, can apply by phone. However anything Arts & Culture wise are not there business. All grants applied for have a 75% approval rating... blah de blah...
Thou must not Speculate, these are for local projects only. The next funding round starts in January 2027 and only one application per year is acceptable, say from Gallows Close or some other Village Hall, or Sports Club or sad Radio Station or somin... basically anything that improves peoples lives.
The Fund is not designed to meet the shortfalls that the Govt. is sposed to represent. However, keep 'living the dream' cos at 13mtpa that's 0.5% of revenue, not profit...
I never mentioned the Bayeux Tapestry Once.
As regards to the Parkies, well guess wot, they are rather busy creating a 'digital map' to showcase the 'projects' currently underway, and Erm.... the Boulby imported stuff is licenced until the end of 2027, with the 'revised' planning app expected to come to 'table' in Spring time."

The 'Corporate Update' will be published, Once I have misunderstood what I have read.... but it includes a Feasibility Study.
It sort of went along with the playlist.
I was just being Pedantic.
