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.

A message for residents from North Yorkshire Council: 2026 GARDEN WASTE SERVICE Residents can now pay for their licence for the 2026 garden waste collection service. A licence costs £52 for collections between March and early December. The licence covers one 240-litre wheelie bin to be emptied fortnightly. Anyone who wants to have more than one bin emptied will need to pay for a licence for each additional bin. Residents can also pay for a licence at any time throughout the season but are encouraged to do so before the start of the service in March as the cost remains the same. Once paid, a licence pack should arrive within 14 days.
