Build fourth Trent crossing at Colwick and improve borough roads, Gedling MP urges new East Midlands Mayor

Gedling MP Tom Randall has written to the new East Midlands Mayor outlining what he says are the area’s transport priorities, which include a fourth Trent crossing at Colwick and carrying out road resurfacing works.

Labour’s Claire Ward was elected as the first ever East Midlands mayor earlier this month and was handed a £1.5 billion transport fund.

Randall has now written to her saying a fourth Trent crossing at Colwick would ‘relieve traffic pressure in places such as Netherfield, Colwick and Burton Joyce’ along with Gedling village and Stoke Bardolph.

He wrote it would also ‘increase connectivity to the eastern part of Greater Nottingham’ – providing ‘better access to local jobs’ for residents across Gedling borough.

The letter then goes on to highlight the priority of fixing Gedling’s roads using funding from the new Mayor’s transport fund.

He finished the letter by saying looks forward to ‘hearing what steps’ the Mayor proposes to take to help fix Gedling’s roads after her campaign pledge to ‘invest in quality road resurfacing’.

After sending the letter, Randall said: “Both of these transport priorities can be addressed with funding from our Mayor’s £1.5 billion transport fund and I look forward to working with the Mayor on progressing them.”

Villagers invited to hear latest on plans to build power plant made from shipping containers on land off Spring Lane

A huge battery storage site made out of shipping containers, designed to support the National Grid network, could soon be coming to land near Lambley.

Plans have been submitted to Gedling Borough Council by Grenergy Renewables UK Ltd for a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) site on land south of Lambley Lane which is currently being used for agricultural purposes.

Developers claim the proposed development would provide energy balancing services to the National Grid with the capacity to store enough energy to power 300,000 homes a single hour.

Now villagers in Lambley are being invited to a meeting tonight (20) to hear more about the controversial plans from the firm behind the development.

Many fear that the site could emit noise 24 hours a day and is too close to local housing.

The parish council will meet with developers at 6.30pm at Lambley Village Hall, with people being invited to come along and hear more about the proposals.

MATCH REPORT: Nottingham Outlaws 40 – 20 Oxford Cavaliers

Saturday May 18

Nottingham Outlaws hit the ground running in their 2024 Midlands Premier League campaign on Saturday when they  scorched to a convincing 40-20 victory over a hard working but ultimately outgunned Oxford Cavaliers outfit at Lenton Lane on Saturday.

The Outlaws went into the game with several changes to the squad that went down to Bedford last weekend, but they soon hit their straps as early as the opening set, moving the ball down the blind side and winger Adam Ward latched onto a cut out pass to nudge the Outlaws into a 4-0 lead with only two minutes on the clock.

If the Outlaws thought they were in for an easy afternoon at the office then someone had forgotten to hand Oxford the script and on the back of successive penalties the visitors nudged ahead 6-4 with a short-range effort on the back of some sloppy home defence.

The deficit didn’t last long as the visitors made a hash from the re-start and from the resulting scrum Gaz Whitfield jinked his way over from twenty metres out and subsequently added the extras from bang in front to put the Outlaws back in the lead at 10-6.

It was a lead they were destined to keep for the rest of the game.

The remainder of the first half was probably the best section of the game for the Outlaws as they began to capitalise on their superior speed and know-how and in doing so they kept the scoreboard ticking over with a great solo effort from Cal Foster who had injected some much-needed pace and vigour from the bench.

Indeed, the young Trent powerhouse went over again five minutes later, wriggling out of the tackle despite the attention of two defenders as the Outlaws lead stretched to 22-6.

Having been through something of a purple patch the Outlaws failed to keep up the intensity and they once again were guilty of some weak defending, dropping off tackles in their right hand defensive channel as Oxford hit back from forty metres out to reduce the deficit to 22-12 as the referee brought the first stanza to a close.

The Outlaws had exhibited some poor form at the end of the first forty and they carried on in the same manner at the opening of the second stanza, once again leaking a try on the back of some basic one-on-one mis-tackles as the lead was cut to one score at 22-16.

Stung by this reversal the Outlaws upped the ante and within five minutes Gaz Whitfield extended the Outlaws lead to two scores notching a fine brace in the process and stretching the score out to 28-16 by adding the extras.

The Whitfield score seemed to knock the stuffing out of a rapidly tiring Cavaliers side who were now rapidly running out of steam and bodies as the visitor’s injury toll mounted, and with it the Outlaws lead stretched out to 34-16 as Haz Ashby used his size and reach to stretch over for a great solo effort.

By now it was all one-way traffic and two minutes later Gaz Whitfield put the icing on the cake for a great solo performance as the sharpshooter completed a well-deserved hattrick to take the Outlaws lead out to 40-16.   

A late try by the visitors reduced the deficit but with their dwindling reserves the referee mercifully brought proceedings to a close early with Outlaws home and hosed at 40-20.

After the game there were a few Outlaws in the frame for the Player of the Match award. On any other day it might have gone to hattrick hero Gaz Whitfield who had a fine day at the office with ball in hand but he was just pipped by rookie utility player Cal Foster who injected some much-needed pace and vigour every time he touched the ball.

After the game coach Shepherd announced his satisfaction with proceedings but also recognised that there was still work to do if the Outlaws were to mount a serious league challenge, adding “I was certainly pleased to get the win and some of our attacking play was excellent, however some aspects of our play left a bit to desired so the lads can enjoy the win today but they know that they will come to training next week and I will be looking at things to work on as they will face much tougher challenges ahead”

Indeed the Outlaws league campaign will definitely go up a notch next weekend when they pay a visit last year’s champions Telford Raiders.

Nottingham Outlaws Rugby League Club are one of the leading Rugby League clubs in the Midlands. In addition to the 1st Team, the Outlaws also operate a 2nd Team that competes in the Midlands Rugby League competition. The club is thriving at all levels and now boasts over 200 registered players, with several junior teams and a women’s section.

The club play their home games at Lenton Lane, Nottingham NG7 2SA and further information about the Outlaws can be found on their website HERE.

Gedling Borough Council identifies sites it won’t mow throughout this year to help the bees

A number of parks and open spaces won’t have their grass cut until the autumn in a bid to help bees.

Gedling Borough Council said it had identified a number of sites around the borough where it can encourage the growth of wildflowers, weeds and grasslands and these areas will be left unmown throughout the growing season.

The wildflowers and weeds are vital food for pollinators like butterflies, bees and invertebrates. Bees are an essential part of our eco-system contributing to the natural production of many of the foods that we grow and eat. One of the key factors in the decline of bee numbers has been a lack of wildflower meadows.

The council has said that wildflowers and weeds are vital food for pollinators like butterflies, bees and invertebrates.

The areas identified in Gedling borough span approximately 5.5 acres and include space at the council’s Green Flag Awarded parks. They will be left unmown until September increasing biodiversity and importantly to help to save the bees and other pollinators.

Councillor Viv McCrossen, Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Natural Habitat said: “We are lucky to have some sites in our borough that are perfectly suited to the growth of wildflowers that create nesting sites for different species of bees. It will also encourage other pollinators and our native wildlife.

“I’m confident that this will contribute to our commitment to take care of our natural environment and sew the seeds for increased biodiversity and conservation in Gedling Borough”.
