Meet the Gedling officer helping keep young people away from crime

Meet Amie Whitehouse, one of Nottinghamshire Police’s Schools and Early Intervention officers and it’s her role to work with young people and help them stay away from a life of crime.

PC Whitehouse has worked in policing for over two decades, but she now spends her weeks working alongside young people to help them make the best choices they can.

Based in Gedling borough, Amie looks after 12 schools and hundreds of students in schools and colleges.

She’s a school’s first point of call when a child needs some help or is hanging out with the wrong crowd and getting in trouble with the police.

PC Whitehouse has worked in policing for over two decades, but she now spends her weeks working alongside young people to help them make the best choices they can.

“I’m really passionate about my role because I believe intervention work with young people is a far better outcome for everybody in communities, rather than getting children into the criminal justice system and sanctioning them formally,” Amie explained.

“Day to day I’m out visiting schools and speaking with my designated safeguarding leads to find out how I can help and support them.

“Working with the schools I get to know the children personally and can help with any intervention work to help avoid children getting into the criminal justice system.

“If I can help a young person who’s got involved with the wrong crowd to see that they’re making the wrong choices and that a life of crime isn’t the right way to go about things, then I know I’ve done my job.

“I’m really passionate about what I do and helping young people alongside my colleagues. We’ll plan events with the students, speak to them about a career in policing, or show them firsthand a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what it’s like at some of our stations.

“The best part of the job is working with teenagers who are absolutely hilarious even when they’ve got themselves into a little bit of bother.

“It’s really rewarding to be able to get in there and work with them by having those conversations and hopefully changing their outlook on life, to help them make good decisions rather than poor choices.

“I’ve worked with a young person in one of my schools before who was really struggling.

“He was potentially getting involved in gang activity and drug dealing, but between myself and our youth outreach team we’ve really started to make a difference with that young person, and we’ve got some really productive work we’ve been doing to steer him away from that life of crime.”

Sergeant Kerry Hall, who works in our Citizens in Policing department, said: “I’m really proud of all of our School and Early Intervention Officers who work hard all year round supporting young people, school staff, partners and officers across the whole county.

“Their work engaging with and educating young people on a variety of topics is vital in preventing crime and building trust and confidence in policing.“

Gedling Borough Council shares update on Carlton £20m funding

Gedling Borough Council shares update on Carlton £20m funding

Gedling Borough Council has shared an update after being awarded funding for Carlton following an announcement by government in the spring budget.

It has been revealed the council could get up to £20 million over a 10-year period to use on community projects to regenerate the area and reduce ant-social behaviour.

The letter from the Minister for Levelling Up stated that the council will receive ‘endowment-style’ funding to give them the certainty to deliver projects over the 10-year lifespan of the programme and flexibility to invest in interventions based on local needs and priorities.

A spokesman for Gedling Borough Coucil revealed that in order to receive the funding, a Town Board needs to be created and long-term plan produced. The board needs to be made up with members of the community, local businesses, Councillors and the local Member of Parliament.

An Independent Chair must be appointed to the group and a key element of the programme is engagement with the community to ensure their voices are heard when it comes to where the funding will be invested.

Deputy Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor Michael Payne said: “We welcome this long-overdue news that the government has listened to our repeated calls for Gedling Borough’s fair share of funding and finally announced that we will receive this much needed funding.

“We have been calling on the government for several years to give us our fair share of funding, following several years of being overlooked by government ministers for Levelling Up & Towns Funding. Now, in the last few months of this Parliament, we have been told we are going to get around £2 million per year, subject to the creation of a Town Board and an approved investment plan.

“The residents of Carlton will be pleased to hear that money is going to be spent in the area, the council has already invested in improving the shopping precinct and have been working tirelessly with the precinct owners to get big businesses back into the centre. We will continue this work with the local residents and businesses to make sure that Carlton gets every penny it deserves.

He added: “The begging-bowl culture created by this government when it comes to allocating funding to local towns, means that this funding has come years later than it should have done and many years later than many other towns across the country.”

Two-thirds of redundant Notts Wilko staff are now back in work

Two-thirds of redundant Notts Wilko staff are now back in work

Two-thirds of Nottinghamshire Wilko staff made redundant after the retailer collapsed are now back in work.

Three local premises have also reopened as other businesses, while interest is being shown in another four.

The Worksop-based high street chain collapsed into administration in August 2023 after losses and a fall in customers driven by pandemic.

An estimated 2,000 people later lost their jobs over September and October at the headquarters, distribution centre and Nottinghamshire stores.

Since then, 68 per cent of staff looking to return to the workforce have secured new jobs, according to a report by Nottinghamshire County Council.

Local jobs fairs were organised to quickly get people back into work, with the authority signposting jobseekers to new opportunities or training.

District and borough councils have also worked with the private sector to attract new businesses into the vacant stores on Nottinghamshire’s high streets.

The state of the ten stores across the county which closed in September and October last year is as follows;

  • Arnold– reopened as B&M
  • Beeston – still closed
  • Carlton Square– currently closed to allow Farmfoods to expand from their adjoining premise.
  • Hucknall – due to be reopened by The Range (March 15)
  • Kimberley– reopened as Poundland
  • Mansfield – still closed, but with good interest being shown
  • Newark – still closed, but with good interest being shown
  • Retford – still closed, but with some interest being shown
  • Sutton in Ashfield – still closed, some early interest being shown
  • Worksop – reopened as Poundland.

The store on Lower Parliament Street in Nottingham also remains closed.

The headquarters and large distribution centre in Worksop was taken over by DHL in December, with the majority of staff re-employed there.

Some of the staff who lost their jobs have also chosen not to look for new work.

More than 60 businesses attended a redundancy event in Worksop, where around 300 people had been put out of work.

The former chair of Wilko told a committee of MPs shortly after that she was “devastated” by the collapse, which cost around 12,000 jobs nationwide.

Lisa Wilkinson, granddaughter of the founder James Wilkinson, said executives had let staff down.

She partly blamed the Liz Truss government’s mini budget, which caused a jump in the interest rates of a loan Wilko was trying to secure.

B&M and Poundland each bought more than 50 former Wilko stores, while The Range acquired the brand and website. It has relaunched three stores so far.

The support for former staff will be discussed at a meeting of Nottinghamshire County Council’s Overview Committee on Thursday, March 14.

Match Report: South Normanton Athletic 2 – 5 Linby Colliery Welfare FC

Central Midlands Alliance South – 28 February 2024

Linby travelled away, for a midweek Floodlit game, to Lees Lane, the home of one
of the Leagues big promotion favourites.

Having drawn 2-2 on Church Lane in November in an entertaining encounter, goals were expected from two forward thinking teams, and the fair sized crowd were not to be disappointed.

Matt Peberday’s Linby squad contained seven players who were 18 years old and under, with 16 year old Harry Thorne making his first team debut.

Linby started well, 11 minutes gone, Mitch Slawsons free kick, from wide on the left, wasn’t dealt with and Captain Josh Wass prodded home from close range, 1-0.

But a minute later, South Normantons imposing number nine , Josh Parfitt equalised with a good finish from the edge of the area, 1-1.

On 22 mins Linby were back in front, Ewan Gibsons shot from 22 yards , was palmed onto his post by Normo keeper Matt Tomlinson, and Joe Butler smashed in the rebound, 2-1.

Again, on 31 minutes, the home team found an equaliser with a lovely move, ending with Marc Bright applying a good finish into the bottom corner, giving Jack Walker no chance, 2-2.

Linby regained the lead again on 44mins, good work from Archie Brown set Thorne up to cross the ball in from the right , Butler rose the highest at the near post to head home, 3-2.

Half Time South Normanton 2 Linby Colliery 3

The second half began with Linby under pressure, but good defending kept the home side at bay. Walker was called upon to make two vital saves to keep Linby in front.

67mins, on a Linby counter attack, Butler sent Slawson in, but the striker was bought down on the edge of the area. Kieran Ordidge received a straight red card, being adjudged as last man.

As the home team pushed more and more men forward, Linby nearly caught them on the counter several times.

Linbys fourth goal came on 89mins, Butler closed the home keeper down, and scored from close range, 4-2.

A fifth was added in injury time as Browns exquisite through ball sent Butler away one on one, the striker cleverly lobbing the keeper, for his 4th goal of the night and Linbys 5th, 5-2.

Line up: J.Walker, Thorne, Trigg, Wass, Fells, Conn, Pollitt, Gibson, Brown, Slawson, Butler
Subs: D.Walker ( for Slawson 65m), Wood ( for Gibson 74m), Hamilton (for Thorne 84m)
Man of the Match: Joe Butler

Match Report: Clifton All Whites 2 – 3 Gedling Miners Welfare FC

Tuesday March 5 2024  ·  Division One

Following on from the Leicester St Andrews win Gedling were back in action three days later as they faced local rivals Clifton All Whites.

Gedling made three changes for the game with Ferdinand Bartley and Buba Ceesay unavailable Solomon Godwin and Josh Lawe came in as did Gian Ciuarro who came in for Felic Hogg who dropped to the bench with an injury from the previous game.

But just 68 seconds in Gedling found themselves a goal down after a cheap giveaway saw a through ball find Lord Marfo who smashed a first time effort past the helpless Josh Mitchell from 20 yards out to give the hosts a early lead.

Gedling set about trying to get back into the game and grew as the half progressed but only had half chances with Kieran Harrison hitting a effort from 25 yards and Josh Lawe having a effort well blocked.

Clifton could have doubled their lead but Josh Mitchell made a great save from a header from 8 yards out and that was the last action of the half as Gedling went into the break trailing 1-0.

Similar to the previous game Gedling came out for the second half very brightly and just 30 seconds into the half the Miners almost were back level, Jack Vipond played a great ball to Lawe who burst past his man and his cross shot deflected just wide of the post.

But on 49 minutes Gedling were back on level terms, Harrison hit a wonderful free kick from 25 yards that crashed the underside of the crossbar, but Gian Ciaurro was first to react and he put it into the net from 6 yards for his 8th of the campaign.

Like the first half it became quite scrappy with both sides getting to the final third without testing wither keeper but on 76 minutes the hosts retook the lead, Sam Burrows hit a free kick round the wall and beyond Mitchell who got a hand to it but it wasn’t enough to stop the ball finding the net.

However the Gedling response was immediate as a minute later they were back on level terms as Harrison burst away down the right and he hit a shot across the keeper and into the bottom left corner for Harrison’s 29th of the campaign. But the best goal was saved until last as on 86 minutes Gedling took the lead for the first time, substitute Darren Fotso played a great ball into Ciaurro who brought it down shifted it onto his right foot and hit a peach into the top right corner leaving the hosts keeper no chance for Ciaurro’s 9th goal in 13 games and Gedling held on for another superb 3 points.

Gedling team: Josh Mitchell, Solomon Godwin, Ross McCaughey, Daniel Momah, Steven Brett, Jack Vipond, Josh Thornton ©, Muta Eisa (Darren Fotso 73’) (Felix Hogg 90+1), Josh Lawe (Jack Jepson 73’), Kieran Harrison, Gian Ciaurro.

Match Report: Gedling Miners Welfare FC 2 – 0 Leicester St. Andrews

Saturday March 2 2024  ·  Division One

It had been two weeks since Gedling had last played after postponements and faced St Andrews for the first time this season.

It was the visitors who started brighter as on 8 minutes Josh Mitchell made a smart save following some neat build up play from Leicester St Andrews and Gedling didn’t really create much in a scrappy first 45 with their best chance coming on 34 minutes when Muta Eisa picked out Jack Vipond on the edge of the box but his effort was straight at the visitors keeper.

On 38 minutes Mitchell again was called into action after the visitors captain Tom Hill hit a free kick from 20 yards that looked to be in the top corner but Mitchell produced a cracking save to keep the score 0-0 heading into half time.

Gedling came out much the better of the two sides in the second half and on 52 minutes they took the lead with a superb team goal, Buba Ceesay won back possession in his own half and he picked out Eisa who dropped it back to Josh Thornton who then played a cracking lofted pass into Kieran Harrison who rounded the keeper and at a angle put it into the bottom right corner for his 28th of the season.

The Miners were controlling the second half with them looking threating going forward and on 72 minutes they doubled their lead, Harrison and Eisa combined down the right and it fell to Gian Ciaurro who cut inside of his man and whipped a left footed effort into the bottom left corner from 18 yards for his 7th of the season.

However, the visitors were looking to salvage something and on 84 minutes they almost had one back as it fell to Brandon Hands who was only 4 yards out but Ceesay produced a heroic block and Gedling then cleared their lines.

Man of the Match Mitchell ensured he got the clean sheet he deserved with a cracking low save in stoppage time and the Miners ran out 2-0 winners

Gedling Team: Josh Mitchell, Ferdinand Bartley (Solomon Godwin 58’), Buba Ceesay, Ross McCaughey, Steven Brett (Semilore Kassim 82’), Daniel Momah, Felix Hogg (Gian Ciaurro 67’), Josh Thornton ©, Muta Eisa (Josh Lawe 74’), Kieran Harrison, Jack Vipond (Jack Jepson 74’)
