Gedling businesses encouraged to get social media savvy at March event

Social media has been a hot topic for several years, not least for business owners. Which channels should you use, what content should you post, and which will bring the best returns? Keeping up to date can seem impossible with its rapidly changing landscape, but help is on hand for Gedling business owners.

Social media is the focus for the next Gedling Business Support Network on Friday, March, 14 from 9.30 to 11.45am, at the Sacred Heart Community Centre in Carlton.

The network has been successfully helping business owners improve their skills and knowledge over the last year and learn about support available locally and nationally. The Network is funded by Gedling Borough Council’s share of the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and delivered by East Midlands Chamber*.

Digital strategist, Paul Ince, CEO of LikeMind Media will provide a mini workshop on the day called “Selecting the Right Social Media Channels for your Business.” Paul will help business owners understand the current climate of social platforms and which ones they should focus on to get the best results.

Paul Ince commented: “Everyone knows you need to use social media to promote your business. However, there is so much choice now, it can be quite overwhelming.

“In this workshop I’ll provide a summary of the major platforms, who uses them and what businesses can use them for. This will give everyone a steer on which to focus on and which ones to avoid.”

At this Network meeting there will also be information from DWP on becoming a Disability Confident Employer. In addition, Marika Lawrence, Regional Head of Land and Development from Willmott Dixon will cover the Shopfronts Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Consultation.

The morning also includes an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate with other businesses and support providers in the room.

Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy at Gedling Borough Council, said: We’re looking forward to another successful business support network meeting where Gedling businesses can get together and find out how developing their social media presence can potentially help them to thrive.

“These monthly meetings are a valuable opportunity to connect and collaborate whilst developing their business knowledge and partnerships at the same time.”

£1m promised to carry out urgent repairs at Newstead Abbey

The Labour Government has announced that it will be supporting the culture and heritage sector in Nottinghamshire with almost £2 million of funding.

Newstead Abbey will receive £1,482,882 towards its programme of urgent repairs, while the future sustainability of Creswell Crags will be supported with £499,999.

This comes as Lisa Nandy MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, has announced over £270 million of funding for hundreds of arts venues, museums, libraries and the heritage sector.

Today’s intervention is the next step in Labour’s Plan for Change to help boost local economies, provide opportunities for creative skills and restore our heritage and cultural sectors which bring pride to local communities.

The £270 million package of funding will be integral to ensuring that arts and culture are a catalyst for growth, whether that’s through making sure that cultural venues are supported to growing local tourism sectors and providing jobs.

Labour is taking the first step towards delivering the Creative Industry Sector Plan, part of the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy.

Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport said:

“Arts and culture help us understand the world we live in. They shape and define society and are enjoyed by people in every part of our country. They are the building blocks of our world-leading creative industries and make a huge contribution towards boosting growth and breaking down barriers to opportunities for young people to learn the creative skills they need to succeed.

“The funding we are announcing today will allow the arts to continue to flourish across Britain, creating good jobs and growth by fixing the foundations in our cultural venues, museums, libraries and heritage institutions.

“As a government that is on your side, our Plan for Change will ensure that arts and cultural institutions truly are for everyone, everywhere.”

A day out in Gedling: The perfect cycling itinerary

Exploring the Heart of Gedling and Its Historic Charms

Cycle towards the center of the borough, where modern life and history combine. While most of Gedling’s main roads are bike-friendly, you can find a more tranquil experience on the side streets. Gedling’s appeal stems from its rich past, which is apparent as you drive by nearby sites including All Hallows Church. Among Gedling’s most significant ancient sites is this medieval church, which dates back more than a thousand years.

Another must-see is the Gedling Station building, which is just a short ride away. Although the station is no longer in use, its design captures the once-vibrant railway connections of Gedling. Riding through these historical sites helps one to have a greater respect for the past of the location, something that is frequently overlooked when one just drives by. Riding an e-bike between these sites is smooth and fun, allowing one to easily absorb all the details without rushing.

Stop for Lunch at a Local Café or Pub

Without a well-earned lunch break, no cycling trip is complete. Gedling offers many wonderful options. If you’re in the mood for something laid-back, swing into The Willowbrook, a beloved pub noted for its locally grown cuisine and friendly vibe. Here a nourishing meal offers the ideal energy boost for the second half of the day.

Cafe 1899, located within Gedling Country Park, provides mouthwatering homemade pastries, sandwiches, and great coffee for those seeking a lighter alternative. Since the café is a popular stop for visitors touring the area on foot or bike, it’s also a terrific place to meet other cyclists and environmentalists.

A Scenic Afternoon Ride Along the River Trent

Refueling comes first, then it’s time to cycle down towards one of the most picturesque riding routes in the region, the River Trent. Perfect for a leisurely afternoon ride, the riverfront walkways here provide breathtaking water vistas and an opportunity to see local wildlife. Offering a gentler, more relaxed path, the Trent ride contrasts sharply with the preceding mountainous landscape of Gedling Country Park.

The calm environment of cycling beside the River Trent is among its greatest features. A feature of any bicycle tour around Gedling is the riverfront trails, which let riders appreciate the peace of the water unlike the busy streets. Those who choose an e-bike can enjoy the surroundings free from worrying about tired legs and cruise easily along the paths.

Discovering Colwick Country Park and Its Lakes

From the River Trent, head for Colwick Country Park and Its Lakes, another amazing cycling location near Gedling. For those who enjoy being outdoors, the park boasts vast meadows, wooded paths, and large lakes. Anyone riding through the borough should definitely visit this place whether they decide to stop for a quick breather by the lake or circle the paths of the park.

If you’re in the mood for some adventure, you could even see some kayakers or paddleboarders out on the lakes at Colwick Country Park, which is famous for its association with water sports. Before returning into town, the somewhat smooth bike paths around the park are ideal for enjoying your afternoon ride.

Evening Wind-Down at a Riverside Pub or Park

A drink or a bite at one of Gedling’s lovely riverfront bars is the best way to unwind as the day comes to end. One excellent place to finish your day is the Ferry Inn on the banks of the River Trent. This pub provides the ideal environment for you to think about your day of riding, whether your taste is for a meal with a view or a refreshing beverage.

A ride back to Gedling Country Park to see the sunset over the hills is as satisfying for those who would choose a more leisurely way to end the day. As you ride back, the golden tones of the twilight sky create the ideal backdrop to finish off your day of exploration.

Why Cycling is the Best Way to Experience Gedling

Riding across Gedling offers a special means of engaging with history and the surroundings. Cycling achieves the ideal balance unlike walking, which limits how much terrain you can cover, or driving, which often pushes you to rush past beautiful locations. Riding a bike is an adventure in freedom and discovery, whether you choose to cruise through parks at your leisure or race across town.

Riding an e-bike enhances the experience even more since it lets you really appreciate every part of the ride and makes big distances seem effortless. Riding enthusiasts will find Gedling’s varied terrain—from hills to riverbank paths—ideal, and the use of an e-bike guarantees no course is too difficult.

‘Nimby’ complaints about Lambley battery site are ‘hilarious’

Sir,

Is it just me who finds the whole NIMBY battery storage site whining hilarious? (Gedling MP says he has ‘serious concerns’ about plans for battery storage site near Lambley)

When i read your story about the public meeting I did laugh when it said residents were perfectly happy to have this ‘unsafe’ and ‘dangerous’ site placed in Stoke Bardolph, just not in the utopia of Lambley.

All we hear about is complaints about the price of fuel, yet something being put in place that would store energy rather than having to buy more is dismissed out of hand.

The rest of us are having to see the countryside taken away for infrastructure improvements and housing – so why should Lambley be an exception?

How can we keep warm with smoking fuel ban?

Sir,

I find it laughable that a Labour council is enforcing a smoke control zone.

It was a Labour government that took the heating allowance of us pensioners and they now want to stop us burning cheap fuel so we can afford to keep warm.

What next? Why not take away our state pensions and force us back to work!

Paul Linfield,
Carlton

Just move to Arnold – or stop whinging!

Sir,

Why doesn’t Alan Fagg just move to Arnold and stop whingeing about it? (Business centre in Arnold ‘makes no sense’ – Letters 13/02/25)

Personally, as an Arnold resident, I wish they’d force the owners of Front Street shops (ex Bon Marche etc) to refurb or preferably demolish them – its an utter eyesore

Will Rob,
Arnold

Short-term thinking over smoke ban will harm planet

Sir,

Yet again, the grey-haired, old men brigade are out moaning about the forthcoming smoking fuel ban being imposed across Gedling.

No interest in the future generations, but as long as they are ok, the planet can go to hell as they will be dead in twenty years, so who cares.

I do! I care about our planet – and so should we all.

Honestly, the ‘I should be able to light my fire’ rantings I have seen on your site and social media are hilarious. No interest in the future, just today. I should be able to swim in the River Trent but can’t as it’s highly polluted.

Such short-term thinking is why our once beautiful planet is in such a mess.

I bet these folk are the same who cried when the steam engine was replaced.

D Jones,
Carlton

Japan has right idea about cracking down on retail crime

Sir,

Our convenience stores and supermarkets in the borough are a happy hunting ground for shoplifters and thieving in this country who act with near impunity.

If caught they tend to get nothing but a slapped wrist or a fine that they’re unable to pay and it’s not unusual to be out thieving the next day.

Things coulkd be different though if we took a leaf out of the Japan’s book on crime prevention.

A Japanese woman was charged with criminal damage in Fukuoka for damaging a 95p cream-cheese bun by squashing it.

The Japanese police are also cracking down on ‘Sushi terrorism’ where people spoil sushi meant for diners and lick soy sauce bottles.

Just what sort of deterrent have we in this country?

None compared with the Japanese approach to petty crime.

If we did something similar, retail crime would quickly fall!

MATCH REPORT: Sheffield 1-2 Carlton Town

MATCH REPORT: Sheffield 1-2 Carlton Town

The home side will have been bitterly disappointed at having lost the game after going in a goal ahead at half time. But Carlton showed some resilience in the second period even though they’d actually played better in the first half. And the goals from Davie and Nat Watson were excellent.

Mark Harvey and Tommy Brookbanks named an unchanged side from the team which won at Belper last time out which meant a 200^th Carlton appearance for the ever-reliable Dan Brown, a superb achievement. New loan signing Diego Edwards was on the bench.

Sheffield came into the game adrift at the foot of the table and the Millers, backed by a very credible 30 or so midweek travellers, went at Club from the kick off. A super ball from Watson sent Ollie Clark bursting clear on goal in just the third minute. His shot was saved by Mikey Roxburgh and cleared by Bradley Beatson before Clark could get to the loose ball.

Charlie Carter, playing wide on the right with Clark in a more advanced role just behind Liam Moran, then found Moran but his shot drew a tremendous block from Beatson.

Next it was Lamin Manneh’s turn to run at the home defence. He got to the edge of the box and then slipped the ball to Carter who shot high and wide from a good position.

Centre-half Dean Freeman then hit a volley from 20 yards that was well saved by Roxburgh.

With their first attack of the game Sheffield scored. A long ball was flicked on into the path of Luke Aldrich and he took a touch before hitting a rocket into the roof of the net giving Felix Annan no chance.

The goal buoyed the home side who were putting their bodies on the line to keep out the Millers. Carlton for their part continued to play some neat passing football on a reasonable surface, but found it more difficult to break through the Club rearguard. Khyle Sargent was controlling the middle of the park and along with Watson moving the ball well. Manneh did have a shout for a penalty at one point, albeit so did Sheffield shortly afterwards, and Watson volleyed wide shortly before half time from a Lewis Durow cross.

Another fine move early in the second half saw Carter send Moran into the area but the striker’s touch was heavy and the chance went.

Sheffield were far more in the game in the second period and had a spell of pressure when Annan saved from Archie White and Luke Mangham fired wide. Carlton brought on Davie and Edwards to provide additional threat and within five minutes of their introduction they were level. A fantastic cross from the left from Carter was met by a powerful header from Watson into the corner of the net.

It was game on now. Brown and Freeman had to be alert and Michael Ford and Durow nipped in with some key interceptions. Annan made another save from Aldrich while at the other end another substitute, Niall Hylton, drew a decent save from Roxburgh.

A point didn’t really suit either side and Carlton finished the game with only three defenders as they went for the win. Sheffield went close with a last-minute corner before the referee signalled six minutes of added time. In the third of those minutes Carlton won the game in dramatic fashion. A lovely move involving Lawrence Gorman, Hylton and Watson saw the ball squared to Davie and he curled home a delicious strike from outside the area into the top corner to spark scenes amongst the travelling support behind the goal and a delirious celebration amongst the players, with Annan sprinting 100 yards to join in with the entire team.

Carlton saw out the remaining minutes comfortably to secure another valuable win in their push for the playoffs.

Carlton Town: F Annan, M Ford (L Gorman 84), L Durow (N Hylton 84), D Brown, D Freeman, C Carter, N Watson, K Sargent, L Manneh (G Tempest 90+5), O Clark (N Davie 59), L Moran (D Edwards 59).

Goals: N Watson 64, N Davie 90+3; Luke Aldrich 22

Council says 230 patrols ‘busting myth’ parking wardens are never out

A council leader says he wants to “bust the myth” that parking wardens are not “out and about” across Gedling borough after figures showed two local roads had been visited more than 60 times over the past year.

In total, wardens had patrolled hotspots across Nottinghamshire more than 230 times in the past year.

Burton Road and Beaumaris Drive in Gedling have been visited 65 times in the same period.

One key route has also been checked more than 100 times in 12 months, Nottinghamshire County Council said.

The council’s 25 Civil Enforcement Officers, or road wardens, have been out inspecting multiple traffic and parking hotspots across the county.

The 234 visits in total across the county are part of the council’s plans to ensure better road safety and less congestion for pedestrians and drivers by assessing where traffic builds up, identifying roads that can become blocked by parked cars and ensuring better road visibility around schools.

A parking camera enforcement vehicle on patrol

There are 29 miles of double and single yellow line parking restrictions across Nottinghamshire, along with 700 enforceable bus stops, more than 300 schools with restrictions and 650 limited waiting bays near shops.

There are also 123 residents’ parking zones covering 480 streets, nearly 250 disabled parking spaces and a network of number plate recognition cameras along bus routes.

Wardens also patrol restricted areas daily to make sure residents can park close to their homes.

County Council Leader, Sam Smith (Con) says the council is “committed to keeping the roads safe for everybody” and says wardens are “out at all hours, weekends, evenings and out in all weathers”.

He said: “I hear all the time residents being grateful of the instillation [of road safety measures], but the myth that they’re not enforced- I want to bust that myth, I’m on their side.

“We know they want to be able to pull in and out safely and have no parked cars on either side of the road, and for children getting in and out of school safely, that’s why we have these officers.”

The leader added that the authority hands out around 60,000 penalty notices each year for people not adhering to these road rules.

Councillor Neil Clarke (Con), cabinet member for environment and transport, said the measures to reduce obstructive parking will “allow for better flow of traffic”, specifically around schools.

He said: “I know it’s easy for people to say they never see wardens or camera cars, but I can assure residents we have over 20 officers who carry out patrols.

“We keep a record of where they have been and we can identify when wardens have visited villages or towns and carried out their work.”

Residents are able to submit requests for new road safety measures on their streets through the council website.
