These are Gedling borough’s latest petrol and diesel prices – find out the cheapest place to fill up
Gedling Eye has compiled a list of the cheapest petrol pumps in Gedling borough. The data is sourced from PetrolPrices.com, which covers major service stations including brands like BP, Shell, and Texaco as well as supermarkets, smaller chains and independent stations.
The website combines price data from Catalist with its own crowdsource data, which comes from website users and forecourt owners. The site says it hopes to have “the most up to date and reliable price data across the industry”.
The UK’s average fuel price is 157p per litre for Unleaded and 188p per litre for diesel, according to data from RAC
The following prices were reported locally on 08/05/26

A woman who lost an incredible 13 stone has now turned her life‑changing journey into a mission to help others do the same.
Clare Rothery hit her Slimming World target seven years ago — and on March 16, she stepped up as a brand‑new Slimming World Consultant. She now runs Monday groups at at St George’s Centre in Netherfield, where members say her sessions are warm, real and rooted in lived experience.
Her turning point came when she realised she’d spent years putting work and mum‑life first, and herself last. She didn’t recognise the woman in the mirror — and she didn’t want to feel “frumpy at 30”. Three sons, high blood pressure, hospital monitoring, a torn meniscus and early osteoarthritis followed. But as the weight dropped, the health issues eased. Her blood pressure vanished completely.
Slimming World’s Food Optimising plan slotted perfectly into family life. No separate meals, no missing out — just healthier versions of the dishes they already loved. “We all eat together, and it works,” she said.
Clare admits the only time she wobbled was during lockdown, when she couldn’t attend group. The moment the doors reopened, she was straight back. “I was in my happy place again.”
Since then, she’s smashed Couch to 5K, taken part in Race for Life and discovered a love of fitness she never thought possible.
Asked what she can do now that she couldn’t before, Clare didn’t hesitate.
“I can shop in clothes I feel confident in,” she said.
I eat more than ever — the right food. I don’t hide in photos. I can look in the mirror and smile. Not because I’m perfect, but because I’m proud.”
High street chain TG Jones could shut up to 100 shops as its owner races to rescue the struggling business.
Modella Capital, which bought WHSmith’s high street arm last year and rebranded it as TG Jones, is reportedly drawing up a major restructuring plan in a bid to avoid the chain collapsing.
Around 100 of the 480 stores are understood to be at risk, with the remaining 400 branches likely to stay open if landlords agree to rent cuts.
The move comes after a 12‑month ban on closures — agreed when Modella acquired the business from WHSmith in 2025 — expired earlier this year. WHSmith kept its profitable travel division, which runs shops in airports and train stations.
PICTURED: The stores were rebranded after former WH Smith stores were bought up
Modella is said to be working with Teneo and law firm Slaughter and May, and is considering using a “cram‑down” mechanism that would allow the restructuring to go ahead with High Court approval even if some creditors object.
Secure Trust Bank, which reportedly lent £50 million to fund the takeover, is expected to be central to negotiations.
The potential closures mark a sharp U‑turn from Modella’s original ambition to grow the chain to more than 500 stores and turn TG Jones into a “hub of the high street”.
Stores believed to be under threat include branches in Swindon, Chippenham, Oxford, Ipswich, Hampshire and North Wales. The Stirling shop is already set to close in July after a failed lease renewal.
The retailer has struggled since the rebrand, with some sites that temporarily kept the WHSmith name said to be performing better than those trading as TG Jones.
The chain generated more than £400m in annual sales and £41.2m EBITDA in WHSmith’s 2024 financial year, but rising costs, weaker consumer spending and shifting shopping habits have hit mid‑market retailers hard.
Modella has also been trimming other parts of its retail portfolio, blaming tough trading conditions and higher operating costs for recent closures.
Gedling neighbourhood policing team’s Inspector Steve King has shared an update on how his team has progressed on tackling crime across the borough during March…
As we often see at this time of year, the change in weather also brings increased demand for our services. Despite these pressures, our teams continue to work exceptionally hard to maintain response times and deliver the highest possible standard of service to the public.
Following a review, the following local priorities will remain unchanged for this quarter:
Our targeted operations to tackle shoplifting continue, supported by a combination of high-visibility patrols and plain-clothes activity.
We have now established Business Action Groups across Gedling South and Gedling Central, strengthening partnership working with local businesses to reduce crime and improve information sharing.
You may have seen recent media coverage regarding the charging of an individual in connection with two burglaries in the Mapperley area. I want to reassure the community that offences of this nature are treated with the utmost seriousness and receive enhanced investigative attention. We fully recognise the significant and lasting impact these crimes can have on victims.
Anti-Social Behaviour
While there was a slight increase in ASB during April compared to March, levels remain approximately 11% lower than this time last year. With lighter evenings and improved weather, we always anticipate a potential rise in youth-related ASB.
We have robust plans in place to address this, using a combination of prevention, partnership working and enforcement. This includes supporting diversionary activities as well as taking decisive action where required.
A recent example includes the successful closure order of a property in Arnold, following persistent ASB and violence that had a significant impact on local residents. We will continue to use all available powers to tackle this type of unacceptable behaviour.
The boarded up property on Bentwell Avenue in Arnold
We also recognise ongoing concerns around vehicle-related ASB. During a recent proactive operation in Gedling, the Roads Policing Unit delivered the following results over a one-month period:
• 141 vehicles stopped
• 47 arrests made
• 52 vehicles seized
• Additional seizures including drugs and weapons
This proactive work plays an important role in keeping our roads and communities safe, and I would like to thank the teams involved for their continued efforts.
Drugs
Tackling drug-related activity remains a key priority. There has been significant recent enforcement activity, including the execution of two warrants within the past week.
Further operations are planned in the coming months. Our message remains clear and consistent: those involved in drug supply can expect to be targeted and dealt with robustly.
A fish and chip shop in Calverton has announced it is closing down.
The owners of Calverton Fish Bar on Main Street have placed a notice in the window announcing the closure of the popular village chippy.
The notice read: “After many enjoyable years serving the Calverton community, I would like to let you know that I have now stepped away from running the fish and chip shop and have moved on to a new chapter.
“I want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our customers for your loyal support over the years. It has been a real pleasure serving you and being part of the local community.
MAKING A CHANGE: Calverton Fish Bar are now using more environmentally-friendly packaging for their takeaways
They added: “The building will now be placed on the market for sale and will be handled by Ashford & Moult Estate Agents, based in Calverton, just a couple of doors down from us.
“Thank you once again for your custom and support.”
Customers took to social media to share their sorrow over news of the closure.
Rich Higton wrote: “Ah such a shame, lovely food. All the best.”
Donna Hind posted: “So sad to see it close down. Loved thus chippy such nice fresh food.”
Margaret Jones commented: “Thank you for being such a fantastic place to get fish and chips. I will miss you. Sending best wishes for your new endeavours.”
A DNA trace recovered from a discarded cigarette filter helped snare an Arnold burglar and put him back behind bars.
Reece Kitching, 35, came to the attention of police on July 20 last year when he fled the scene of a road traffic collision on the A60.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the car he had been driving was stolen earlier that day after access was gained to the home of a relative on Washington Court, Arnold.
Kitching, who was detained near the scene of the collision, was also found to be more than three times over the legal alcohol limit when breathalysed at the roadside.
During a forensic examination of the address, officers recovered a cigarette filter which Kitching had discarded while inside the property to obtain a spare key. Although his exact method of entry remains unknown, the DNA evidence helped place him inside the address.
Kitching was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court
Kitching claimed the cigarette could have been left there during a previous visit, but he later pleaded guilty to burglary, aggravated vehicle taking, failing to stop after a road traffic collision, drink driving, driving while disqualified, and driving without insurance.
He also pleaded guilty to theft following an incident at a hotel in Radford on November 12, where he stole food and drink from a communal area.
Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday, April 28, Kitching, of no fixed address, was sentenced to two years’ imprisonment and disqualified from driving.
PC Catherine Stafford, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:“Kitching has an unenviable criminal history and seemed to think he could get away with taking this vehicle in the way he did.
“Unfortunately for him, a low-level traffic collision proved to be his undoing.
“Thanks to a full and thorough investigation, Kitching had little choice but to plead guilty.”
Two specialist pothole machines will be begin working on roads around , the latest boost in the drive to fix the county’s highways.
Nottinghamshire County Council has taken delivery of the JCB Pothole Pro machines from commercial asset supplier Dawsongroup, just a week after a record-breaking £181.25 million investment in the county’s roads was given the green light.
They will be delivering first-time permanent repairs in Nottinghamshire through the county council’s highways partner, Via East Midlands, and add to the eight repair teams who hit the county’s roads at the start of the month.
The unique three-in-one machines, which have been leased for 12 months, will help to improve the speed, quality and cost-effectiveness of repairs across the county.
Their benefits include:
Fixing a typical pothole rapidly, helping to clear backlogs more quickly and ensure that roads are closed for shorter periods of time.
Reducing repair costs, with permanent, longer‑lasting fixes meaning fewer repeat visits.
Cutting, cropping, and cleaning in a single visit.
The Pothole Pro machines have been leased from Dawsongroup via a procurement and tendering process carried out by Via.
Council Leader, Councillor Mick Barton, said the arrival of the Pothole Pro machines will provide value for money for Nottinghamshire residents.
He said: “After months of hard work, Cllr Bert Bingham, Cabinet Member for Transport and Highways, and I decided to take on two JCB Pothole Pro machines as part of our ongoing work to repair the roads.
“These machines will have a positive impact in what we are trying to achieve and mark a significant step forward in our first time permanent repair programme.
“Residents rightly expect us to deal with potholes quickly and effectively, and this technology allows us to do exactly that in addition to the more traditional methods we already use.
“What sets the Pothole Pro apart is its ability to complete multiple repair stages using a single piece of equipment.
“By combining cutting, cropping, and cleaning into one machine, we can reduce the time crews spend on each repair while also minimising disruption to road users.
“Ultimately, this is about delivering a better service for our communities.
“Smoother, safer roads benefit everyone, from daily commuters to local businesses, and the Pothole Pro is helping us meet those expectations in a smarter, modern way.
“We know we have a challenge ahead of us, that we are rising to, and I am confident residents will see a vast improvement in the condition of our roads by the end of the summer.”
Councillor Bert Bingham, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment, said the machines should help the council’s teams carry out repairs to a consistently high quality.
He said: “The introduction of the JCB Porthole Pro machines will ensure that first time permanent repairs minimise the likelihood of repeat issues in the same locations.
“Another key benefit is the reduced impact on local communities as repairs can be completed faster and more efficiently, meaning there is less need for prolonged road closures or traffic management and helping to keep Nottinghamshire moving.
“This is about building a resilient and well-maintained road network for the future.
“By adding modern solutions like the Pothole Pro to our toolbox of highway repairs we are addressing current challenges and seeking to set a higher standard for road maintenance in the years ahead.
“People have understandably been frustrated with the condition of Nottinghamshire’s roads, and we believe our record-breaking investment in highways is just the start of an exciting journey as we deliver the network that people rightly expect.
“We will be evaluating the performance and value for money of the Pothole Pro, alongside our other machinery and traditional methods, to guide future investment decisions in our highways.”
Haley Thomas, Strategic Account Manager at Dawsongroup, said: “We’re proud to support Via East Midlands with the installation of the JCB Pothole Pro, which represents a significant step forward in how permanent road repairs are delivered.
“Having worked closely with the team since early 2024, we understand the pressures facing local authorities to do more with less while improving safety and long-term outcomes.
“The Pothole Pro offers a fully mechanised, permanent repair solution that aligns perfectly with Via’s commitment to efficiency, quality, and reducing repeat interventions across the network.”
Residents at Coppice Lodge Care Home in Nottingham enjoyed an uplifting afternoon of live entertainment this week as singer Rebecca Lomas returned to perform a selection of classic jazz favourites.
Staff and residents gathered together in the home’s lounge for an intimate live performance. Rebecca delighted the audience with a set of well-loved jazz songs, encouraging residents to sing along, clap, and dance throughout.
The atmosphere was filled with joy and nostalgia as residents responded enthusiastically to the music, recognising familiar tunes and sharing memories sparked by the performance. Even songs that were less familiar still got toes tapping and smiles all around.
Music plays an important role in enhancing wellbeing at Coppice Lodge, helping to create meaningful moments of connection between residents and staff.
Abbie Moth, Wellbeing & Activities Coordinator at Coppice Lodge, said: “Music really is a wonderful way to connect with residents, and nothing is quite as powerful as having a live singer in the room. We’ve had Rebecca in a few times before and she never fails to get everyone singing and dancing along.”
Resident Irene Dowdell also shared her enjoyment of the afternoon, saying:“It’s all old music, so you must think that you know this song, and it’s nice to hear it again.”
