“The force will never tolerate this sort of violent disorder on our streets.

“We will always take swift action to track down anyone suspected of carrying a knife or other offensive weapon, while anyone who does so can expect to receive a robust response from the police.

“We have arrested a suspect but our enquiries are ongoing.

“It’s important anyone who saw what happened, has any relevant information, or has CCTV, dash-cam or mobile phone footage that could assist us comes forward immediately.”

Anyone with information is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 40 of 22 October 2022, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Councillor calls for new housing works to be suspended in Burton Joyce after village is hit by severe flooding

Councillor calls for new housing works to be suspended in Burton Joyce after village is hit by severe flooding

A councillor has called for housing construction works in Burton Joyce to be suspended after major flooding in the village.

Trent Valley Councillor Sam Smith sent a letter to Gedling Borough Council chief executive Mike Avery over the weekend calling for a halt to housing construction works taking place at Glebe Farm and on Orchard Close.

In a letter to Mr Avery he wrote: “Heavy rainfall is causing large amounts of surface water that has nowhere to go and the overall cause was the housing development sites on Glebe Farm and Orchard Close. 

PICTURED: Orchard Close flooding with mud and runoff from the housing development at the top of the close.
PICTURED: Cllr Sam Smith

“It is obvious that building on the green belt of green fields concretes over natural drainage and this is a point that myself, Cllr Mike Adams and the residents of Bulcote Drive and Orchard Close made while the planning application were being determined and is one of the reasons we both voted against both applications.

“Sadly, we were ignored and as a result Orchard Close, Chesterfield Drive, Bulcote Drive, Trentham Gardens and Main Steet in Burton Joyce flooded worse than ever on Thursday and, once the water had finally drained away, turned into a mud bath caused by mud off the housing development sites.

“The Co-op, chip shop and Post Office also had to close due to flood water entering them or the entrances only being assessable by canoe. 

“It is our understanding that a condition of the planning permission granted on Orchard Close was for a water holding tank and new drains to be installed. This hasn’t happened yet but the site has been cleared, trees removed and mud piles exposed , hence why a moody waterfall rushed down the road from the housing development, into residents’ garages and the local shops.

“We therefore ask that planning enforcement measures are taken to immediately pause any further works on both the Orchard Close and Glebe Farm sites until adequate drainage is installed on both to prevent reoccurring flooding.”

“To prevent another muddy washout, it’ll be helpful if the Planning Department could now carry out some enforcement action at both Glebe Farm and Orchard Close which will improve site drainage and prevent future flooding. 

A spokesman for Gedling Borough Council told Gedling Eye they are now investigating complaints about the housing development following the recent flooding.

They said: “On Thursday, large parts of the borough and the county saw extremely high levels of rainfall, causing flooding across several areas.

“We have been working with colleagues at Nottinghamshire County Council, who are responsible for the countywide response to flooding, and provided support for households who were in imminent danger of flooding, providing sandbags to several homes. 

“Our road sweepers had recently been out to the affected areas, as part of the normal cleaning cycle and were back out again on Friday clearing up debris and will continue to do so over the next few days.

“We have also been made aware of complaints raised about a nearby housing development, our planning team will investigate any complaints and speak to the developers to ensure they are working in accordance with the planning permissions.”

Sherwood MP backs Rishi Sunak in Tory leadership contest

Sherwood MP Mark Spencer has given his support to Rishi Sunak this lunchtime (24) in this week’s Tory leadership contest as Boris Johnson stepped out of the race.

Mark Spencer explained his decision is based on who is best placed to “make tough decisions”.

The Sherwood MP said: “I can confirm that I will be supporting The Rt Hon. Rishi Sunak MP to be the next Leader of the Conservative and Unionist Party.

“Over the course of this past summer, I was firmly of the belief that Rishi was, and is, the leader that can unite our Party, bring the whole country together and win us that fifth general election victory and my opinion has not faltered.

“In serious times like these, we need a person to step up to the plate who has a proven track record of being in the room when the tough decisions have been made, and I am in no doubt that Rishi is that person.

Mr Spencer added: “He is a man of good character and great integrity, and I have seen first-hand during my time served with him in the Cabinet that he has the ability to steer us through the unprecedented global challenges we now face.”

100 days left to use Royal Mail stamps without barcode

100 days left to use Royal Mail stamps without barcode

Royal Mail is urging people across Gedling borough to use up stamps that do not have a barcode by January 31 – when they will no longer be valid for postage.

It says the deadline in exactly 100 days affects “everyday” stamps featuring the late Queen’s profile.

Royal Mail introduced barcoded stamps back in February to make deliveries more efficient and improve security.

Customers will still be able to use themed, commemorative and non-barcoded Christmas stamps after the deadline.

Anyone unable to use older everyday stamps by 31 January will be able to exchange them for newer barcoded ones free of charge. Royal Mail says that, at present, there is no end date for when the older stamps can be swapped.

Royal Mail says their latest advice is not connected to the change of monarch. It says further details on the launch of stamps featuring King Charles will be made at the appropriate time after consultation with the Royal Household.

Royal Mail introduced barcoded stamps in February, saying they would open up possibilities for “new innovative services.”

The long-term plan is that people will be able to watch videos, find out information and send birthday messages to each other through the barcodes which can be scanned with the Royal Mail app.

The postal service launched a national awareness earlier this month reminding people to use up their non-barcoded stamps by the deadline.

Royal Mail, which hopes customers will use those stamps this Christmas, has sent leaflets to 31 million homes and placed adverts in newspapers, on the radio and on social media.

Plans for new pedestrian and cycle bridge over River Trent pushed back to 2023

Plans for new pedestrian and cycle bridge over River Trent pushed back to 2023

A planning application for a new pedestrian and cycle bridge over the River Trent near Colwick Country Park will not be submitted until next year.

The new pedestrian and cycle bridge will link Trent Basin in the city to West Bridgford in Rushcliffe when built.

It is being funded by the Government with a planned Spring 2023 opening date.

Keith Morgan, principal senior transport planner at Nottingham City Council, had initially said the plans would be submitted later in the year, however this will take place in 2023 now.

A Nottingham City Council spokesperson told the Local Democracy Reporting Service: “The council is pushing forward with plans to construct the new cycle and pedestrian bridge and over recent months has been working with landowners, the Environment Agency and a principal contractor to develop the scheme.

“A planning application is due to be submitted in the new year and we are working with the contractor to advance the design of the scheme and firm up the scheme cost.”

Once built it will become the first new crossing over the River Trent in Nottingham since Clifton Bridge eastbound opened in 1972, which was built years after its older western counterpart, completed in 1958.

Delegated decision documents from October reveal the local authority has now agreed to cover landowners’ reasonable professional costs associated with assembling the land required to deliver the pedestrian and cycle bridge across the River Trent.

The exact nature of these documents is restricted for public viewing, but the council says it is “pushing forward” with plans.

It comes as calls for a fourth road bridge continue to mount.

Prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company to hit the stage at Arnold theatre

Prestigious Royal Shakespeare Company to hit the stage at Arnold theatre

The world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) returns to the Bonington Theatre in Arnold for two live performances of its First Encounters with Shakespeare production of Twelfth Night. 

The RSC first visited the Bonington Theatre in 2019 with performances of The Merchant of Venice.

Three years later, the RSC are coming back to Arnold, on Monday, October 31 and Tuesday, November 1, with a 90-minute condensed version of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night.

The play has been given a modern twist with an environmentally conscious take on Shakespeare’s tale of heartbreak, hoaxes and hidden identities. 

The production of Twelfth Night has environmental sustainability at its core and has been co-created with young people from the RSC’s Associate Schools programme. This is the Company’s national partnership programme with schools and regional theatres which work with disadvantaged children in the country. 

Commenting on the production, Director, Robin Belfield, said: “We want children and young people’s first encounters with live theatre and Shakespeare to be fun, engaging and meaningful. So, we asked them what was important to them, and two things came across very clearly and consistently: that the show should be a co-creation between the RSC and the young people themselves and that climate crisis should sit at its heart.’

The Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke MBE said: “We’re thrilled to have the world famous Royal Shakespeare Company returning to Arnold’s Bonington Theatre this year with another excellent play on their nationwide tour.

“Their interpretation of Twelfth Night will give people, especially younger audiences, an opportunity to access Shakespeare’s play in a new, modern and exciting way. 

“The show’s emphasis on environmental sustainability highlights a particularly important issue affecting all generations and is a key priority for Gedling Borough Council as we work to become net zero by 2030.

“We’re delighted to have been asked to host such a wonderful theatre from the Royal Shakespeare Company.”

Performances of Twelfth Night will take place at the Bonington Theatre, Arnold on Monday 31 October and Tuesday 1 November, both starting at 7.30pm.

Tickets cost £12.50, £10 concessions, £8 for under 25s and are available to buy directly from the Bonington box office in person, by calling 0115 901 3640 or by visiting the website www.boningtontheatre.co.uk

Christmas event at Woodthorpe Park planned with 1,800 trees for sale

A Christmas event is heading to Woodthorpe Park with 1,800 Christmas trees planned to be sold.

Nottingham City Council papers detail that the event will take place between November 26 and December 18.

The authority says its Woodthorpe Park Christmas Event has grown over the last six years, welcoming more than 10,000 visitors to enjoy wreath making and miniature Christmas Tree planting.

The city council will spend £50,000 on the Christmas trees which will then be sold to the public.

The event is being organised by the site’s nursery team

The local authority said the plans ‘contribute to the Carbon Neutral 2028 strategy by delivering locally sourced plants, many of which help create biodiversity and bee friendly habitats’.

Prices for the Christmas trees start at around £28 for potted trees and a six-foot tree will cost around £47.

Donna Cresswell-Duly, the City Council’s business development manager for public realm, said: “Our Christmas event is our largest event of the year and there will be a small market, music from a choir and a ukulele group and a café.

“It’s an opportunity for families to come down and the kids can decorate a tree and meet Santa.

“We also sell Christmas trees and we pride ourselves on them being responsibly and locally sourced.”

Council documents added: “Local artisans, crafters, and independents sell their products in our Marketplace and visitors can buy a range of ethically sourced potted and cut  Christmas Trees, ranging in size from miniature Saplings to 8ft and available in three varieties – Nordmann, Fraser Fir and Norway Spruce.”
