#York and North #Yorkshire Combined Authority (YNYCA) has joined the #Urban #Transport Group (UTG), expanding the network to 15 transport authorities. Established in February 2024, YNYCA covers #York, #Harrogate, #Selby, #Scarborough, and rural North Yorkshire, led by Mayor David Skaith.

Mayor Skaith aims to create an integrated transport network prioritising healthier #travel, accessibility, safety, environmental protection, and economic growth. In March, he signed the White Rose Agreement with other Yorkshire mayors to improve rail and bus services, leading to Yorkshire’s Plan for Rail in May 2025. YNYCA is pioneering rural bus franchising, addressing challenges of rural and coastal transport.

Joining UTG gives YNYCA access to expertise to improve public transport’s affordability, reliability, and accessibility, connecting communities and reducing environmental impact. UTG welcomes YNYCA’s ambitions to enhance transport in this vital region.

Great day out on the #archery field with my Adrian Hayes #longbow. Despite strong winds and intermittent rain I shivered my way to a PB for a Western, (4 dozen at 60 yards then 4 dozen at 50 yards). Almost broke 400 for the round which is respectable and 40 higher than my previous PB.

That’s two PBs in a row as I beat my score for an American last week. I put the improvement down to concentrating more on consistency in my anchor point and release. Next comp is 18th April at #Selby
