Pickhill with Roxby & Sinderby Parish Council
Where are We?
In a rural location in North Yorkshire, the Parish centres on the villages of Pickhill and Sinderby. The parish area is bounded to the west by the A1(M) and to the east by the River Swale. It is surrounded by (and roughly equidistant to) the market towns of Thirsk, Northallerton, Bedale, Masham and the City of Ripon (England’s smallest City). The East Coast Main Line is 7 miles to the east of the Parish, served by rail stations at Thirsk and Northallerton. The Parish also lies mid-way between Yorkshire’s two National Parks – the North York Moors and the Yorkshire Dales.
What services do the parish council provide
Your Parish Council has an overall responsibility for the well-being of your local community. Their work falls into three main categories:
• Representing your local community
• Delivering services to meet local needs
• Improving quality of life
Some of these services are provided and maintained by the principle authorities - Hambleton District Council and North Yorkshire County Council.

Message from RAF Leeming A bit earlier than usual for 2026, there will be additional flying from RAF Leeming from 9 November as the Station hosts Exercise YORKNITE. The four-week exercise enables the Swiss Air Force to achieve a significant part of its night-flying training, alongside some training with the Royal Air Force. We are aware that, whilst the Exercise is very popular with enthusiasts, it can cause disturbance to local residents. Mindful of this, the final wave of each day will land no later than 2200.
Agenda for Parish Council Meeting on Tuesday 20 October 2026 at 7.30pm in All Saints Church Pickhill
Residents are welcome Councillors are reminded they must declare any conflict of interest on an item, where applicable.
A message from RAF Leeming: RAF Leeming will soon be entering a period of exercise hosting, during which there will be additional jet and helicopter movement. The local community can expect increased flying from 20 August to 2 October - including some night flying. We understand that Exercises can cause disturbance to the local community, and endeavour to minimise low and late flying in particular.
