Drugs, weapons and cash seized after house raid on suspected cannabis business in Calverton

A large haul of drugs, weapons, thousands of pounds in cash and high-value goods have been seized by police after they raided a property in Calverton.

Neighbourhood officers executed the warrant in Mansfield Lane after being alerted to information the address was being used to package and sell cannabis.

After forcing open the doors, officers discovered large amounts of the Class B drug, bundles of cash, designer clothing, trainers, high-value electronics and jewellery.

The cannabis was in packages featuring a brand name and other merchandise was found advertising the brand.

Officers also found two imitation firearms and a knife during further searches on December 13, 2024.

A man, aged 34, and a 31-year-old woman were arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of a Class B drug.

The man was further held on suspicion of possession of an offensive weapon in a private place, possession of an imitation firearm and possession of criminal property.

Officers from the Gedling North neighbourhood policing team, assisted by other police teams, also seized and searched a high-value car.

Sergeant Alison Riley, of the neighbourhood team, said: “The raid uncovered evidence of a large-scale and lucrative business selling illegal drugs.

“Criminal activity of this nature brings nothing but problems to a community so it was pleasing to take positive action against it.

“It is always good news when we can take drugs and weapons off the streets, as well as seize cash and goods which we suspect have been sourced through criminality.”

Anger over footpath closure as work continues on new housing development near Netherfield

Anger over footpath closure as work continues on new housing development near Netherfield

A Netherfield resident has slammed plans to extend the closure of a section of footpath that leads to a nearby nature reserve and retail park as ‘infuriating’.

Mark Christopher, 48, said the closure of the public footpath prevented him from getting exercise at the nearby Netherfield Lagoons that he said was ‘required too improve his mental health’.

A notice placed at a section of the the footpath that runs between Chandos Street and Colwick Loop Road revealed it will now be closed until March 2025 – and that the closure could be extended if the new housing development nearby fell behind schedule.

It did also say the closure could be lifted earlier if works continue at pace.

Mr Christopher emailed Gedling Eye to express his frustration with the situation.

“Nobody wanted this development, it’s houses being built on land of the old football pitches which held memories for me playing there.

“But in the name of progress I tried to forget about it, but it is now impacting my life as a shortcut to the lovely Netherfield Lagoons has now been cut off and it was key to improving my health.

“I struggle with motivation anyway and now having to take a longer route is just putting me off.

“People who use the allotments said the route was also important if you had a plot at the far end of the site as it gives them access and are upset about the closure.”

Mr Christopher said a friend had emailed Nottinghamshire County Council about this and they said the authority was asking Persimmon to ‘open it as soon as they could’ due to the importance of linking the town with the nature reserve.

Huge boost for motorists as government pledges £75m to fix potholes across East Midlands

Huge boost for motorists as government pledges £75m to fix potholes across East Midlands

Councils across the East Midlands are set to receive £75 million to repair their roads, the government has today (20) announced.

In a Christmas boost for drivers, the huge £75,735,000 investment will go to the East Midlands Combined County Authority, led by Labour Mayor Claire Ward, and is part of a wider £1.6 billion pot of cash – an increase of nearly 50% on local road maintenance funding from last year – and is enough to fix the equivalent of over seven million extra potholes in 2025/26.

Across England, local highways authorities will receive a £500m uplift in funding as the Government looks to rebuild Britain as part of its Plan for Change.

It comes as figures from the RAC show drivers encounter an average of six potholes per mile in England and Wales, and the cost of pothole damage to vehicles is around £500 on average, with more severe repairs costing considerably more.

Each local authority can use its share of the £1.6bn for 2025/26 to identify which of their roads are in most need of repair

According to the AA, fixing potholes is a priority for 96 per cent of drivers.

The public is also being encouraged to report potholes in their area to their local council through a dedicated Gov.uk page. 

Each local authority can use its share of the £1.6bn for 2025/26 to identify which of their roads are in most need of repair, and to deliver immediate fixes for communities and raise living standards across every area of the country. 

To further protect motorists given continued cost-of-living pressures and potential fuel price volatility amid global uncertainty, the government has frozen fuel duty at current levels for another year support hardworking families and businesses, saving the average car driver £59. 

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has now told councils to ‘get on with the job’.

He said: “Broken roads can risk lives and cost families hundreds if not thousands of pounds on repairs. That’s a cost that can easily be avoided by investing properly in our roads.

“Through our Plan for Change we’re determined to put more money back into the pockets of hardworking people and improve living standards. That’s why we’re giving councils funding to repair our roads and get Britain moving again – with a clear expectation that they get on with the job.”

Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said: “Potholes have plagued motorists for far too long, but today’s record investment will start to reverse a decade of decline on our country’s roads.

The Government has said it will make sure authorities spend the money wisely, collect the right data, and deliver proactive maintenance before potholes start to form. 

The funding has built-in incentives, with 25% of this uplift held back until authorities have shown that they are delivering. 

On top of this funding, the Transport Secretary is announcing a clampdown on disruptive street works, doubling Fixed Penalty Notices for utility companies who fail to comply with rules and extending charges for street works that run into the weekend. 

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said: “This is the biggest one-off road maintenance funding settlement councils in England have ever been given, so we have high hopes it’s the turning point that ends the degradation of our roads and finally delivers fit-for-purpose, smooth surfaces for drivers and all other road users.  

Edmund King, AA president, said: “We urge councils to focus on permanent and innovative repairs rather than adopting a ‘patch and run’ approach. Better maintenance of the road network is the number one concern of drivers as damage costs a fortune and potholes can be fatal for those on two wheels.

Latest man arrested on suspicion of taxi driver’s murder in Gedling would have been 13 when ‘execution-style’ shooting was carried out in 1994

A man arrested by police on suspicion of the murder of a taxi driver in Gedling would have been just 13 when the ‘execution-style’ shooting was carried out back in 1994.

Ethsham Ul-Haq Ghafoor, aged 26, known to his friends and family as Shami, was shot dead in his taxi on Tuesday, November 22.

He was found by a milkman at 4.30am at Lambley Lane Playing Fields in Gedling with his hands tied and bound to the steering wheel.

He had been shot in what has been described by police as “an execution.”

Shami was described by his family as “an outgoing, charming and kind man”. Already the father of a five-year-old son, he was killed just five months before his baby daughter was born.

Crimestoppers, a charity which is independent of the police, has supported this investigation by offering a reward of up to £50,000 for information that they exclusively receive that leads to a conviction.

On the morning of Wednesday, November 27, five people were arrested on suspicion of murder in the Sneinton and Bakersfield area.

They were four men, aged 64, 57, 52, 51 and one woman aged 47.

They have been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

On Tuesday, December 17, a man, aged 43, from the Sneinton area, has also been arrested on suspicion of murder.

He has been released on police bail pending further inquiries.

Detective Chief Inspector Clare Dean, who is leading the investigation, said: “The investigation is continuing at pace and we would like to personally thank the local community for coming forward with information and the media for sharing our appeal.

“So far, we have arrested six people on suspicion of Shami’s murder.

“We believe the answer to Shami’s murder still lies within the community and would encourage anyone with information who has not already been in touch to please come forward.

“Shami’s family are desperate for answers and you could be sitting on a key piece of information in this investigation.

“Crimestoppers is offering up to £50,000 reward as an extra incentive. This is a huge reward for information that leads to conviction.

“Information to Crimestoppers can be submitted completely anonymously.”

Anyone with information can call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or call 101 quoting incident number 0300 of the 15th November 2024.

Water bills to rise by £31 over next five years, regulator Ofwat says

Water bills to rise by £31 over next five years, regulator Ofwat says

Average water bills in England and Wales will increase by 36 per cent over the next five years, water regulator Ofwat has said.

The increase is higher than the £19 per year the regulator proposed back in July, but is lower than water companies had requested.

Ofwat said the increase was enough for water companies in England and Wales to pay for upgrades and reduce sewage discharges.

However, the £31 rise is before inflation has been added so actual bills are likely to be higher.

Ofwat said higher bills would pay for £104bn upgrade for the sector.

David Black, Ofwat chief executive, said the regulator was “acutely aware of the impact that bill increases will have for some customers”, adding that water firms now needed to “rise to the challenge” of making a “significant improvement over time to justify the increase in bills”.

The bill hike varies by region.

It will provide both NHS and private services to patients.

The Crossing Club closed back in September 2023 after first opening back in 2015.

£490k funding boost for Gedling Borough Council to tackle homelessness

£490k funding boost for Gedling Borough Council to tackle homelessness

Gedling Borough Council will receive a cash injection of nearly £500k next year to tackle homelessness in the area, Angela Rayner has announced.

Nearly £1 billion in total is being pumped into council budgets across England to help break the cycle of spiralling homelessness – including £13,301,449 for Nottinghamshire. 

Gedling Borough Council will receive £499,286 in total from the funding.

The cash will be used to make more resources available for workers on the frontline who provide essential services to get rough sleepers off the street and into secure housing as well as seeing more homeless families out of temporary accommodation.  

The Government said councils will also now be better equipped to step in early to stop households becoming homeless in the first place. This includes mediation with landlords or families to prevent evictions, help find new homes, and deposits to access private renting. 

Local areas can also choose to channel resources into services including Housing First, which prioritises access to permanent social housing for people with histories of repeat homelessness and multiple disadvantage including drug and alcohol abuse.

With the worst housing crisis in living memory, around 40% of homeless families are living in B&Bs or nightly-let accommodation, and the use of this emergency accommodation has doubled in three years. Many of these places lack basic facilities, leaving parents struggling to cook healthy meals for their children while councils bear the mounting financial strain.  

Deputy Prime Minister and Secretary of State for Housing, Angela Rayner said: “Too many people have been failed by the system time and again.160,000 children face spending this Christmas without a stable place to call home. I am determined to break the cycle of spiralling homelessness and get back on track to ending it for good.

“This largest-ever investment marks a turning point, giving councils the tools they need to act quickly and put in place support for people to tackle, reduce and prevent homelessness. It’s time to turn the tide.

“This historic funding comes alongside our work developing a cross-government strategy back on track to end homelessness, pulling every lever of the state, to ensure that we deliver not just sticking plasters but a long-term plan.

“Through our Plan for Change I am determined to tackle the housing crisis we inherited head on, building the homes we need, delivering the biggest boost in social and affordable housing in a generation and ending no fault evictions.

Minister for Homelessness, Rushanara Ali said: “We have inherited the worst housing crisis in living memory that has left far too many families trapped in temporary accommodation with no end in sight and soaring numbers of people sleeping rough on our streets.

“Our funding will not only support councils delivering vital services that meet the needs of their communities but also pave the way for our long-term plan to get us back on track to end homelessness once and for all.”
