Objections to plans changing the use of a redundant church to create a nursery and creche in a North York Moors village will be familiar to other rural areas.
Oswaldkirk Parish Meeting has urged members of the North York Moors National Park Authority to reject the plan for the former St Aidan’s Roman Catholic Chapel of Ease, off Main Street, saying it would exacerbate road safety issues on a busy route where motorists routinely speed. While their concerns are understandable there is a perennial structural issue that rural areas face of a diminishing demographic.
Rural villages also need an infrastructure to support everyday living for families, that includes childcare facilities. This proposal follows North Yorkshire Council approving a plan to relocate the village playground amid concerns over the safety of existing facilities. The meeting was told some residents viewed the playground proposal as “crucial for fostering social interaction and unity among all residents”.
