PAGE TWELVE Thursday, January 17th, 2013 Land owner’s More delays to work gold award honour for outstanding achievement A local landowner has won a top agricultural award from the Royal Agricultural Society of England (RASE). Charles Forbes Adam, owner of the Escrick Park Estate, was awarded RASE's Bledisloe Gold Medal for Landowners for his "outstanding" achievements in land management. Mr Forbes Adam, who is also chairman of the Yorkshire branch of the Country Land and Business Association, runs an estate which includes many acres of beautiful parkland, as well as offices, commercial lets, holiday cabins, wedding facilities, an equestrian crosscountry course and a nationallyrecognised nature reserve. Before deciding on the award winner, judges visited Escrick Park and were particularly impressed by the way Mr Forbes Adam had managed to run a thriving and diverse commercial venture while enhancing the natural environment on the 8,000-acre estate. Over the past 20 years new planting on the estate has resulted in more than 18km of new hedges, and 12 ponds have been created or restored. In addition, about 90 hectares of habitats for wildlife have been created on arable land. Work has also started on the new Three Hagges Jubilee Wood - the largest area of new woodland in the district. The wood will comprise a rich tapestry of flora and fauna including a number of tree species such as alder, hazel, oak and birch. Covering over nine hectares of former arable land, Three Hagges will recreate ancient woodland, incorporating wildflower glades, meandering paths and dozens of species of native wildflowers and fine grasses.

School RRoad, oad, Gartocharn, Garto ocharn, G83 8RW at £1.8m junction The roundabout development prepared for one of the Selby district's busiest junctions has been delayed for a third time. Plans to build a new roundabout on the A63 and A19 junction close to Barlby and Osgodby, were expected to start last week but have been delayed until next month as the tenders for the work have only just been returned. The £1.8 million project, includes a three-lane, 70 metre roundabout which will be built at the junction, with two lanes filtering from the A63 and three lanes coming in form the A19 in both directions (pictured). The project is designed to slow down motorists and improve road safety, and work is now expected to begin in February and run well into the summer. North Yorkshire County Council released a statement earlier this week saying: “It was originally hoped, last year, that we would be in a position to start the work on Monday, January 7, 2013. A cancer survivor and well-known fundraiser is appealing to hairdressers in Selby to help him raise money for charity by dying his hair and beard pink. Danny Harris has organised charity nights at Selby Railway Club for nearly ten years and has raised almost £10,000 in the past four years alone for various Yorkshire based charities. This year, 52-year-old Danny and his friend Paddy Boocock (39) are hoping to dye their hair and beards pink to raise money for cancer, before shaving them off in April. The hairy pair have been growing their facial and head hair since November 2012, and are now asking local hairdressers to get involved by donating a small amount of time and pink hair dye. Danny said: "This idea first came about on a drunken night out at the Railway Club, where me and Paddy are both committee members, as I suggested it and he said yes! "We are both hoping to dye our facial hair and head hair pink on Friday, February 15, if a hairdresser is willing to help us out. "We just want someone to donate a bit of pink dye and a short amount of their time so me and Paddy can nip down to the salon and become pretty in pink!" The pair - who both previously had bald heads and were clean shaven - would then keep their pink hairstyles before shaving them off later in April. Danny added: "We have our sponsor forms ready and people have said they will donate when they see us in the pink, so I really hope a local hairdresser is willing to help us. "All of the money raised through sponsorship will go to the Cancer Care Centre at York District Hospital which is close to my heart as I had cancer myself last year. "Luckily it was benign (mild and none progressive), and I had the tumor removed in October 2012 and have been given the all clear for now, despite having to go back next month to check it has not returned. "But others are not as lucky and me and Paddy both want to help people who are suffering from Cancer in the area, by raising what we can for the centre in York, who have helped me out a lot in the past year." Any hairdressers who are willing to dye Danny and Paddy's hair and beards pink free of charge, should contact them by emailing danny@selbyrailwayclub.com. "However, the legal process surrounding land acquisition proved to be much more complex than anticipated, with the result that the tenders for the work have only just been returned. "The pre-works on the contract will now begin on Monday, February 4, and we expect to be on site for the beginning of the main contract on February 18. The contract is scheduled for completion within 22 weeks.” This unforeseen delay means that the contract has not yet been awarded but when it is, the Highways Agency say work will start as soon as possible and explained how the contract is strict so that the development is completed with the time-scale. Richard Marr, Area Highways manager for Selby, said: "We are just waiting to open the tenders. "There was a delay in the legal process surrounding the land acquisition as the land is not actually owned by us. "Once we find out who is going to be in charge of this project we can set out some definite dates and get things started. "The work will not be starting this month as originally planned, but will begin next month, and when it does contractors will be under tight schedules to keep up to date with the development time scale." During construction time, traffic will be diverted and there may be long delays for motorists travelling in the area. The development was originally expected to start in October 2012, but was pushed back twice before Christmas last year and this is the third time delays have been announced. When work begins, a 10 week closure of both roads will kick-start the development, followed by the roads being open and controlled with traffic lights for the remaining 14 weeks, until the roundabout is complete. ‘Can any hairdressers put us in the pink for charity?’ by Kim Law SITTING PRETTY - IN PINK!: Danny (right) and Paddy are looking for a kind-hearted hairdresser to help them in their bid to think pink. (17-01-61 SU) Alongside this, Danny's annual charity night at the Railway club will take place this year on Wednesday, April 24, where six social club singers will perform as well as a comedy compare. There will also be a raffle and game of bingo, and Danny is hoping this year's charity event will be as successful as the others. He added: "My first ever charity night over nine years ago raised £1,400 for Macmillan Cancer Care and I hope I can raise a significant amount of money for the Cancer Care Centre through mine and Paddy's hairy efforts and the charity night itself. "We do not charge for tickets, but ask for a minimum donation of £1 for entry to the charity night." Danny's charity event in 2011 raised £647 for Martin House Children's Hospice and in the past four years alone the events have raised a total of £9,489 for various local charities. If any one would like to sponsor the pair or donate to the charity they can do so by visiting their online just giving page at: http://www.justgiving.com/pad-dan.
