A ‘SHOT in the arm’ is needed to hammer home the message that littering and other anti-social behaviour will not be tolerated as Craven comes out of lockdown. Councillors fear that the expected relaxation in coronavirus restrictions next month, will result in a major influx of visitors to Craven and the Dales. Now, a multi agency group, made up of Craven District Council, North Yorkshire County Council, the police and parish councils, is to carry out an environmental awareness campaign, backed up by an outside enforcement agency. Enforcement officers will be deployed to problem hot spots and will have the power to give out fixed penalties, heard Craven Council’s Policy Committee meeting.

TRIBUTES are pouring in following news of the death of stalwart councillor Richard Welch. Richard, 67, was ward councillor for the Penyghent ward for Craven District Council, while also being a member of North Yorkshire County Council and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. He died peacefully yesterday in Airedale Hospital after a short illness. One of his sons, Ian, said his dad loved being a councillor and worked hard for the residents in his ward because he cared so much for the district. He was also a great dad and grandad and we will all miss him. One council colleague who had known him for many years at district and county level, as well as with the national park, was Cllr Robert Heseltine.
