FLYING DRONES

We have been asked to publicise this information around our villages:


FLYING DRONES

 

The Drone & Model Aircraft Code and guide is available to all online at:

https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/drone-code

 

Please be aware it is against the law to fly a drone or model aircraft without having the required IDs. You can also be fined for breaking the law when flying. In the most serious case, you could be sent to prison.

 

The Code covers everything you need to know to pass the test to get a flyer ID. This is the starting point for anyone wanting to fly a drone or model aircraft in the UK.

 

The Code also sets out detail of flight restriction zones (FRZ) around airports and military bases. Please be aware that Pickhill and Sinderby are literally surrounded by “no fly” zones, due to their close proximity to operational military bases at Leeming, Topcliffe, etc.

 

For more, please refer to the guide at https://register-drones.caa.co.uk/drone-code

2026 GARDEN WASTE SERVICE

January 16, 2026
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.
