Safer Streets scheme boosts security at home of Mapperley pensioner assaulted in during burglary

A Mapperley pensioner has shared how the Safer Streets programme has transformed her sense of security following a traumatic burglary and assault last year.

74-year-old Julie Gosling is just one Nottingham resident to have benefitted from free security equipment through the programme.

It comes after more than 500 homes and farms across Nottinghamshire have been made safer thanks to the Safer Streets programme.

The initiative, funded by the Home Office and co-ordinated by the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire, has provided vulnerable residents with enhanced security measures to protect against burglary and other crimes.

The project involves burglary reduction officers visiting homes to assess vulnerabilities and provide tailored improvements, including additional lighting, Ring doorbells, reinforced gate locks, and additional window locks.

These upgrades are designed to make homes less appealing to criminals and give residents greater peace of mind.

“The service from Nottinghamshire Police Safer Streets officers and their subcontractors has been sensitive, flexible, and highly professional. The security upgrades to my home have been life-changing,” Julie, now a retired university lecturer explained.

She highlighted the installation of a security camera and floodlight at her back door, which connects to her existing Ring camera. These measures, along with reinforced gates, have significantly improved her safety and independence.

“Overall, I feel so much safer and stronger in myself. My independence and autonomy are increased, and I feel ‘in charge of my territory.’ This has had a hugely positive impact on both my physical health and peace of mind,” she added.

The Safer Streets programme is a cornerstone of Nottinghamshire’s efforts to reduce burglary, antisocial behaviour, and violence against women and girls.

Alongside home security upgrades, the scheme has funded CCTV installation, improved street lighting, and high-visibility patrols, all aimed at creating safer, stronger communities.

Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Gary Godden said: “Protecting our residents from burglary and crime is a key priority for me. The Safer Streets programme is delivering real results, providing more than 500 households with vital security improvements.

“It’s heartening to hear how this initiative is not only enhancing safety but also rebuilding confidence and well-being for people like Julie.

“We are committed to continuing this important work to help even more residents across Nottinghamshire feel safe in their homes.”

Matthew Lewis Managing Director for Property Services at Dodd Group said: “Collaborating with Nottinghamshire Police and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Nottinghamshire on the Safer Streets programme has truly made a significant impact on the residents within the community.

“Security in and around our homes is a concern shared by all, and it is uplifting to receive positive feedback from customers regarding both the quality of the products fitted and the installation process itself.

“At Dodd Group, we take immense pride in fostering a partnering relationship with our clients, ultimately benefitting the communities in which we operate.”

Arnold burglary suspects quickly arrested after 3am break-in

Two suspected burglars were arrested after police stopped a car in Arnold following an overnight break-in.

Officers were called to St Albans Road around 3.30am on Tuesday (11) when a woman reported her home had been broken into.

The victim, who was not home at the time, was able to confirm a number of items were missing.

Officers pulled over a vehicle in Surgeys Lane, Arnold, a short time later.

They detained two men and after searching the car recovered a crow bar.

Two men, aged 36 and 38, are in custody on suspicion of burglary.

The 38-year-old man was further detained on suspicion of driving while unfit through drugs after a roadside drugs wipe revealed traces of cocaine.

Detective Sergeant Matt Dumbrell, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “The officers who attended the break-in worked efficiently to locate this vehicle quickly and arrest two suspects.

“Whenever officers attend a home break-in we also support the victim. We understand how distressing it can be to have your personal space invaded by an intruder and have precious items stolen.

“Despite these arrests, we’d still ask anyone with any information, or relevant doorbell, dashcam or CCTV footage, to come forward.”

Anyone who can assist should call 101, quoting incident number 36 of 11 February 2025, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Carlton man criticises council over ‘diabolical’ removal of mother’s grave tributes

A Carlton man has called Nottingham City Council’s treatment of his mother’s grave ‘diabolical’ after tributes left to her were removed without warning.

Paul Mason, 54, from Carlton Hill, has complained to the council over items being removed from his mother’s resting place at Wilford Hill Crematorium cemetery in West Bridgford.

Mr Mason says he also received ‘unsympathetic’ treatment from a manager when he raised the issue.

His mother, Brenda, died in 1990 at the age of 55 and was buried at the cemetery, where he visits her resting place weekly.

Mr Mason says he noticed on February 2 that tribute items left on the grave, such as a plant box, a small planted bush and a solar light had been removed.

Tyre marks over graves at Wilford Hill Cemetery

A new policy from October 2024 says the council will remove all tribute items and flowers left on graves without giving loved ones any notice.

After making a complaint to the council about the removed items, Paul said he was told signs had been pinned on notice boards about the rules.

He said: “No one’s going to pay attention to a notice board in a graveyard, it’s not the nicest of places to remember someone.”

Paul says he has also seen tyre marks left over graves from the site’s grounds team.

Paul’s father was the registered owner of the plot his mother is buried in, but his father died eight years ago- Paul was not made aware by his father that ownership would have to be transferred and the ownership expired around 2020.

The council told Paul that a letter was sent to the grave owner in October 2024 to make them aware of tribute changes, but this would have been addressed to his late father in an address he no longer lived in.

Paul questioned why no “common sense” was taken in the council’s correspondence and why it has not tried to contact another family member through a note left on his mother’s grave.

He said: “Why would I tell the cemetery my dad’s died, he’s not buried there, he wanted to be cremated, why would I go to Wilford Hill [to tell them]?

“Not only have they driven over and damaged graves, they’re picking on people like me that do look after the grave, they don’t care about anything.”

He says that he received ‘bolshy’ responses to his complaints from a cemetery manager who was ‘unsympathetic’.

He said: “[Their] attitude was appalling, they said ‘we have a policy that if you don’t own the grave, we can do what we like without permission’.

“It’s the principle, it’s diabolical, they think they can treat the graves like that, and grievers like that. The solace- they’ve took that away from me I find it quite offensive.

“I want to go to my mum’s graveside on my birthday morning, I don’t feel like I want to go, I feel like it’s marred my presence of being here, I feel like I’ve been robbed, it really is quite heart-wrenching.”

A Nottingham City Council spokesperson said: “We fully appreciate that this is a sensitive situation and we have been working with families for a number of years now and discussing options with them.

“There are two types of graves at our cemeteries: traditional graves that can have a headstone and larger kerbset, and lawn graves, which only allow headstones or an option for a smaller kerbset surround. All grave owners are made aware of rules about unofficial memorials and trinkets. This information is in the deed pack which is issued when a grave is purchased.

“This also includes ongoing projects – we are currently creating new grave spaces to accommodate the needs of the community. This requires the use of vehicles and equipment to carry out tasks efficiently and respectfully.

“Recent adverse weather conditions, including rainfall, frost, and occasional snow, have temporarily made the tracks more apparent. However, we want to reassure visitors that once our work is complete, all affected areas will be fully restored with topsoil and grass seed.”

Tracking natural disasters with advanced satellite imagery

From raging wildfires that consume entire forests to hurricanes that leave cities underwater, natural disasters can devastate communities, ecosystems, and economies. In the face of such destructive force, swift response and early detection are crucial for minimizing damage and saving lives. One of the most advanced tools in disaster management today is satellite imagery — offering a bird’s-eye view of unfolding crises and equipping responders with the near real-time and historical data they need to track, predict, and assess natural catastrophes with precision.

Space remote sensing technology has the remarkable ability to continuously monitor vast regions, detecting early warning signs that might otherwise go unnoticed. For example, satellites can identify rising sea surface temperatures that signal an impending hurricane or detect abnormal heat patterns hinting at a developing wildfire. 

Utilizing a real-time satellite images viewer or similar platforms, emergency teams can monitor large-scale disasters as they unfold, enabling proactive preparation and response. Let’s explore how real-time satellite view contributes to monitoring and managing natural catastrophes effectively.

The Role of Satellite Imagery in Disaster Monitoring and Management

Satellites are essential for observing natural cataclysms, offering high-resolution images, thermal information, and atmospheric data. This valuable information helps scientists, government officials, and emergency responders make well-informed decisions. The key benefits of using space technology for disaster monitoring include:

  • Extensive Coverage. Satellites can survey vast and hard-to-reach areas that are challenging to access on the ground.
  • Real-Time Observation. Ongoing imaging enables quick identification of disasters as they occur.
  • Predictive Insights. AI-driven models analyze satellite data to predict the severity and trajectory of storms, floods, and wildfires. 

Besides, current satellite imagery plays a crucial role in responding to and recovering from catastrophes. It offers essential information for planning, resource distribution, and rebuilding efforts. Key advantages include:

1. Quick Damage Evaluation. Satellites can swiftly pinpoint affected regions, helping decision-makers understand the extent of damage and organize emergency assistance effectively.

2. Improved Resource Distribution. By assessing damage from afar, officials can focus relief efforts and direct resources to the most impacted areas.

3. Better Coordination. Live satellite view allows all response teams to access the same accurate data, enhancing communication and efficiency in disaster response.

4. Tracking Recovery Progress. Space imagery helps monitor rebuilding efforts, highlighting areas that still need support.

5. Immediate Data Access. Services like UP42 provide quick access to the most recent satellite images, enabling disaster agencies to gather and analyze vital information instantly.

As remote sensing technology evolves, its combination with AI and machine learning will further improve disaster response, making management more efficient and effective in saving lives. Let’s examine how satellites contribute to tracking and mitigating the effects of different kinds of natural catastrophes.

Types of Natural Disasters Tracked by Satellites

Space technology provides specific solutions for different natural events. Here’s how satellites help in monitoring and reducing the impact of various disasters:

Hurricanes and Cyclones

Satellites monitor the development, strength, and trajectory of storms by observing cloud formations, sea surface temperatures, and wind velocities. Organizations such as NASA and NOAA utilize recent satellite images to provide early alerts, enabling communities to brace for severe weather occurrences.

Forest Fires

Satellites with thermal sensors can spot heat changes, allowing for quick detection of wildfires in hard-to-reach areas. This early warning helps in quickly sending firefighting teams, which can limit damage.

Droughts

By examining plant health and soil moisture, satellites deliver important information about drought situations. This data supports better water management and conservation efforts to lessen the effects on farming and local communities.

Floods

Satellites equipped with Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can see through clouds to track flood levels in near real-time. This ability is vital for evaluating affected regions and organizing timely evacuations and aid.

Tsunamis

In the case of tsunamis, satellites monitor sea surface anomalies and wave propagation patterns, providing early warning signs of potential threats. Post-event, high-resolution up-to-date satellite images help assess coastal damage and guide disaster response efforts.

Landslides 

Interferometric SAR (InSAR) technology can identify ground shifts, highlighting areas that may be prone to landslides. Early warnings allow for preventive actions, helping to save lives and property.

Earthquakes

Although satellites are unable to predict earthquakes; however, they can track ground deformation and movements along fault lines through radar technology. Following an earthquake, high-resolution space imagery is instrumental in evaluating damaged infrastructure, landslides, and the impact on affected communities.

Despite these benefits, current satellite systems have limitations in how often and how clearly they can observe natural catastrophes. To address these issues, new microsatellite constellations are being developed to offer more regular and detailed views. Additionally, combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) with satellite data analysis improves prediction abilities and automates the spotting of disaster-related issues.

The combination of advanced space technology and AI is set to transform disaster management, offering more precise monitoring, early warnings, and efficient response strategies to safeguard our lives and property. Let’s take a look at different satellites that are tailored for disaster observation. 

Key Satellites and Technologies Used

A variety of satellites are specifically designed for natural catastrophe monitoring, each featuring advanced sensors:

  • Landsat (NASA/USGS). Offers both historical and current satellite imagery to evaluate land use and the effects of cataclysms.
  • Sentinel (ESA). Utilizes radar and optical imaging to monitor floods, wildfires, and seismic activities.
  • GOES (NOAA). Observes weather patterns and storm developments in near real time.
  • MODIS (NASA). Identifies temperature fluctuations and smoke emissions from wildfires.

These satellites collaborate with ground-based sensors and AI-enhanced models to enhance precision and response efficiency. One notable example of services dedicated to disaster observation is EOSDA LandViewer. Let’s learn more about it.

Step-by-step guide to getting ready for your first mortgage

Buying your first home is an exciting milestone, but navigating the mortgage process can feel daunting. To make things easier, we’ve broken it down into manageable steps to help you prepare for your first mortgage.

This guide will walk you through what you need to know, from understanding your finances to finding the right lender.

Step 1: Assess Your Financial Situation

Before diving into the property market, take a close look at your finances. Start by calculating your monthly income and expenses to determine how much you can afford to repay each month.

  • Check Your Credit Score: Lenders use your credit score to assess your reliability as a borrower. Obtain a free copy of your credit report and look for any discrepancies or overdue accounts that could impact your mortgage application.
  • Build a Deposit: In the UK, most lenders require a deposit of at least 5% of the property’s value, though a larger deposit can often secure better interest rates.

Step 2: Use an Income Mortgage Calculator

One of the most useful tools for first-time buyers is an income mortgage calculator. This tool estimates how much you could borrow based on your income, monthly outgoings, and other financial commitments. It can give you a realistic idea of your budget and help you set expectations for your house search.

Step 3: Research Mortgage Options

Mortgages come in various types, and it’s essential to understand your options to choose one that fits your circumstances.

  • Fixed-Rate Mortgages: These offer a stable interest rate for a set period, making it easier to budget.
  • Variable-Rate Mortgages: These rates can fluctuate with market conditions, potentially leading to lower payments but also higher risk.
  • Help to Buy Schemes: The UK government offers schemes for first-time buyers, such as shared ownership or equity loans, which can make buying a home more accessible.

Step 4: Calculate Additional Costs

Buying a home involves more than just the purchase price. Factor in additional costs, such as:

  • Stamp duty (if applicable)
  • Solicitor’s fees
  • Valuation and survey fees
  • Moving costs
  • Building insurance

Having a clear understanding of these expenses will prevent unwelcome surprises during the buying process.

Step 5: Gather Your Documents

Lenders will require a range of documents to assess your mortgage application. Start preparing these early to avoid delays:

  • Proof of identity (passport or driving licence)
  • Proof of address (utility bills or bank statements)
  • Proof of income (payslips or tax returns if self-employed)
  • Bank statements (covering the last three to six months)

Step 6: Speak to a Mortgage Advisor

A qualified mortgage advisor can help you navigate the complex mortgage market. They can recommend products tailored to your needs, explain the fine print, and ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your mortgage agreement.

Step 7: Get a Mortgage Agreement in Principle

Before making an offer on a property, it’s advisable to secure a mortgage agreement in principle (AIP). This is a conditional offer from a lender stating how much they’re willing to lend you. While it’s not a guarantee, it shows sellers you’re a serious buyer and can speed up the buying process.

Step 8: Start House Hunting

With your finances in order and a clear idea of your budget, you can begin searching for your dream home. Consider factors such as location, size, and proximity to schools or transport links.

Step 9: Make an Offer

Once you’ve found the right property, make an offer through the estate agent. Be prepared to negotiate, but stick to your budget to avoid overstretching your finances.

Council plans to increase tax by 2.99% for residents across Gedling borough

Council plans to increase tax by 2.99% for residents across Gedling borough

Gedling Borough Council plans to increase its portion of council tax by 2.99 per cent.

The Labour-run authority’s draft budget for the financial year ahead will be discussed at a meeting of the council’s cabinet on Thursday (February 13).

Leader Cllr John Clarke (Lab), will present a plan which includes a 2.99 per cent rise increase in the authority’s part of council tax bills for the 12 months from April.

This means properties in Band A will pay an increase of £3.75 per year, while Band D properties will pay £4.38 more per year.

Those in Band C properties will pay an extra £5 per year.

The highest Band H will pay an extra £11.25 per year.

The increase is slightly higher than the 2.98 per cent rise which was also brought in last year.

The council will continue to “mitigate the impact of council tax increases for “Gedling’s most financially vulnerable households”, documents say.

The authority got a 0.92 per cent increase in central Government grant for the year – significantly less than the 6.8 per cent average Government grant rise for all councils across England.

Council documents say: “With the continued removal of central government support, the council will increasingly rely on income generated by local fees and charges, and council tax, and these will need to be consistently
increased year-on-year to offset the momentum of continual reductions in available budgets.”

The budget will be presented at a full council meeting for final approval on Wednesday, March 5.

Final household council tax bills in Nottinghamshire include portions for either the county or city council, plus a district or borough council, and contributions for the police and fire services.

All these authorities are now setting rates for the year ahead, with final total bills known in March.

Police dog PD Rocket unleashed in Carlton after suspect fled vehicle stopped by officers

A brave police dog has helped catch a suspect who made off from a vehicle stopped in Carlton on Saturday.

PD Rocket found the suspect lying in a hedge in a back garden in Carlton.

He and his handler had been called in after a suspect fled from the passenger seat of a car in Standhill Road at about 730pm.

Screenshot

Officers lost sight of him as he jumped over fences, but he was unable to escape the attentions of PD Rocket.

On that occasion, a 19-year-old man arrested on suspicion of assault and possessing cannabis.

Sergeant Nicholas Dachtler, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “Our general-purpose police dogs are trained to use their noses and their immense speed to bring suspects to heel and to keep the public safe.

“The dog and their handler did an outstanding job to bring these skills to bear and all should be proud of their actions.”
