From Rosedale Abbey to the Hartoft junction – use Heygate and Hancow Road during the closed periods.
As shown in the road side notices, the Cropton Road will be closed for BT telecom works from near Yatts Farm to Rose Cottage on 16 and 17 October. Diversions will be up Heygate, along Hancow and down to the Blacksmiths. Any queries ring the number shown below:
A reminder that there is a community bus service on Mondays (except Bank Holidays) from Rosedale to Pickering. In outline, the bus picks-up passengers at Abbey Stores at around 10.25am then at Hill Cottages at 10.30am before arriving in Pickering at 11.05am. The return pick-up is at Pickering Library at 2.05pm, arriving in Rosedale Abbey at around 2.45pm.
Those of you who have driven on Chimney Bank recently will have noticed that the NY Highways road walkers have been busy. Now we know that work is due to start on the Bank for 4 weeks starting Tuesday 30 May.
You will have noticed a lot of BT Openreach operatives and vans in the village recently – well, the good news is that fibre optic cables have been laid from the exchange at Lastingham through to Rosedale Abbey, with work ongoing to extend coverage through the village and up to Thorgill.
Once the contractors have completed the fibre cable laying, it is expected that customers will be able to connect to the network by late July/early August to receive up to 100mps broadband service. More details are being sought and will be published as soon as known.
Hutton Lane is due to be closed until February 12th to repair the land-slipped section between Hutton le Hole and Keldholme. The council’s alternative route from Hutton le Hole to Kirkbymoorside is via Lowna and Gillamoor and is signed.
We have joined together to form a support group for Rosedale Abbey and Hartoft during these difficult times. We are hoping to be of help to those of you who are shielding, in the vulnerable or self isolating group or indeed anyone who is not able to venture out at the moment.
We are offering to pick up and deliver groceries, collect prescriptions, source essentials and pet food etc. Please ask and we will endeavour to help or maybe you would just like us to check in and chat.
Shirley: 01751 417384 or 07508772787
Olivia: 07904201255
Please get in touch and pass these numbers on to anyone you think may need them. If you are isolating it may be helpful to give these contacts to your relatives/ friends who can then contact us on your behalf if needed.
