Carlton Town receives life-saving defibrillator thanks to local charity

A Gedling football club has received a life-saving heart defibrillator from a charity dedicated to providing equipment to grassroots teams.

Amanda Vennell from the Defibs for Grassroots Football charity presented the new state-of-the-art equipment to club management last week.

The defibrillator boosts the chance of saving a life by giving out instructions for use by voice upon an emergency.

The life-saving kit that can be taken to away games as well as used in the dugouts at their home ground on Stoke Lane.

Club chairman Mick Garton said: “We already had a defibrillator based in our clubhouse, but with the technology improving all the time, this is most certainly an upgrade and can be used for home and away games. It comes with a travel bag for taking it to away games and this is great news for everyone associated with the club.”

Mr Garton announced that the club now plan to hold a game to raise cash for the charity in the near future so other clubs can receive defibrillators.

Amanda Vennell from Defibs for Grassroots Football said: “I’m delighted to have presented the defibrillator as it could prove a life saver for a player or a spectator in the future; you never know what’s round the corner.

“Carlton is a team I watch when I can and the work they do in the local community is something I am well aware of and have been impressed by.

“This is the 54th Defibrillator we have been able to present to Grass Roots Football and we look forward to working with the team at Carlton to raise money for more. We will announce details of the charity day when we have put it all together”

Warning to fly-tippers over rubbish by rail tracks in Netherfield

Network Rail has issued a warning to flytippers after rubbish was dumped by railway tracks in Netherfield.

The rail operator said they had been contacted by Gedling Borough Council about flytipping on their land close to Manvers Street.

They said they were now working with British Transport Police to investigate the reported dumpings.

Some of the rubbish dumped on Network Rail’s land in Netherfield

A spokesman for Network Rail said: “Flytipping can contribute to rodent activity in the neighbourhood which can be extremely unpleasant for neighbours.

We do not have the resource to repeatedly attend to remove flytipping which means it could be there for some time before arrangements can be made.

“Fly-tipping is illegal and dangerous, especially if people trespass on the railway. Offenders could be taken to court and face a £1000 fine. For this reason, when we see someone trespassing, we have to stop all trains in the area to remove trespassers, check for damage and clear blockages. This not only delays nearby trains, but also has a knock-on effect to trains across the network.

“We plan to work closely with the British Transport Police to investigate this and if this continues we may install covert CCTV cameras to try to prevent further incidents in the future.”

You can contact the British Transport Police (08457 40 50 40) should you witness
anyone trespassing or fily tipping on railway land or via Network Rail’s 24-Hour National Helpline on 03457 11 41 41.

Arnold teenager who raped an underage girl in overgrown area in Daybrook jailed

An Arnold teenager who raped an underage girl in an overgrown area in Daybrook has been jailed.

Conner Dilkes, aged 18, assaulted the girl in July 2023 and was arrested soon afterwards.

Dilkes was interviewed several times and gave inconsistent accounts.

In his first interview, he denied knowing the girl and insisted he had never met her.

Crown-court
Dilkes appeared at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday

However CCTV and forensic evidence proved otherwise and he went on to plead guilty to two counts of rape in relation to the attack, which happened in an overgrown area in Daybrook.

Dilkes, of Oxclose Lane, Arnold, also admitted theft, assault by beating and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place in relation to an unconnected incident in June last year.

Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Thursday he was jailed for four-and-a-half years.

He was also added to the sex offenders’ register for life and also made the subject of a sexual harm prevention order that will tightly restrict his activities once he is released.

An indefinite restraining order that prevents him contacting his rape victim was also imposed by the sentencing judge.

Detective Sergeant Alan Braisby, who investigated the July 2023 attack, said:

“The victim in this case has suffered considerable distress and I am pleased her attacker has now been brought to justice.

“Rapes and other sexual assaults have a lasting impact on victims, and are among the most serious offences we are tasked with investigating.

“When incidents like this are reported to us we will leave no stone unturned in our pursuit of justice – as Dilkes has found out to his cost.

“I am pleased he has now admitted to these appalling offences and is now behind bars.”

Gedling businesses encouraged to get social media savvy at March event

Social media has been a hot topic for several years, not least for business owners. Which channels should you use, what content should you post, and which will bring the best returns? Keeping up to date can seem impossible with its rapidly changing landscape, but help is on hand for Gedling business owners.

Social media is the focus for the next Gedling Business Support Network on Friday, March, 14 from 9.30 to 11.45am, at the Sacred Heart Community Centre in Carlton.

The network has been successfully helping business owners improve their skills and knowledge over the last year and learn about support available locally and nationally. The Network is funded by Gedling Borough Council’s share of the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) and delivered by East Midlands Chamber*.

Digital strategist, Paul Ince, CEO of LikeMind Media will provide a mini workshop on the day called “Selecting the Right Social Media Channels for your Business.” Paul will help business owners understand the current climate of social platforms and which ones they should focus on to get the best results.

Paul Ince commented: “Everyone knows you need to use social media to promote your business. However, there is so much choice now, it can be quite overwhelming. 

“In this workshop I’ll provide a summary of the major platforms, who uses them and what businesses can use them for. This will give everyone a steer on which to focus on and which ones to avoid.”

At this Network meeting there will also be information from DWP on becoming a Disability Confident Employer. In addition, Marika Lawrence, Regional Head of Land and Development from Willmott Dixon will cover the Shopfronts Supplementary Planning Document (SPD) Consultation.

The morning also includes an excellent opportunity to network and collaborate with other businesses and support providers in the room.

Councillor Jenny Hollingsworth, Deputy Leader and Portfolio Holder for Sustainable Growth and Economy at Gedling Borough Council, said: We’re looking forward to another successful business support network meeting where Gedling businesses can get together and find out how developing their social media presence can potentially help them to thrive.

“These monthly meetings are a valuable opportunity to connect and collaborate whilst developing their business knowledge and partnerships at the same time.”

£1m promised to carry out urgent repairs at Newstead Abbey

The Labour Government has announced that it will be supporting the culture and heritage sector in Nottinghamshire with almost £2 million of funding.

Newstead Abbey will receive £1,482,882 towards its programme of urgent repairs, while the future sustainability of Creswell Crags will be supported with £499,999.  

This comes as Lisa Nandy MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, has announced over £270 million of funding for hundreds of arts venues, museums, libraries and the heritage sector.  

Today’s intervention is the next step in Labour’s Plan for Change to help boost local economies, provide opportunities for creative skills and restore our heritage and cultural sectors which bring pride to local communities.  

The £270 million package of funding will be integral to ensuring that arts and culture are a catalyst for growth, whether that’s through making sure that cultural venues are supported to growing local tourism sectors and providing jobs.  

Labour is taking the first step towards delivering the Creative Industry Sector Plan, part of the UK’s modern Industrial Strategy. 

Lisa Nandy, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport said:  

“Arts and culture help us understand the world we live in.  They shape and define society and are enjoyed by people in every part of our country. They are the building blocks of our world-leading creative industries and make a huge contribution towards boosting growth and breaking down barriers to opportunities for young people to learn the creative skills they need to succeed.  

“The funding we are announcing today will allow the arts to continue to flourish across Britain, creating good jobs and growth by fixing the foundations in our cultural venues, museums, libraries and heritage institutions. 

“As a government that is on your side, our Plan for Change will ensure that arts and cultural institutions truly are for everyone, everywhere.” 

A day out in Gedling: The perfect cycling itinerary

A day out in Gedling: The perfect cycling itinerary

Being on two wheels is the only way one can really appreciate Gedling’s splendor. Cycling provides the ideal pace to enjoy everything this Nottinghamshire borough has to offer. Gedling is best explored on a bike—especially with an e-bike, which lets you cover more terrain easily—because of its picturesque parks, small village streets, and landmarks.

Exploring the Heart of Gedling and Its Historic Charms

Cycle towards the center of the borough, where modern life and history combine. While most of Gedling’s main roads are bike-friendly, you can find a more tranquil experience on the side streets. Gedling’s appeal stems from its rich past, which is apparent as you drive by nearby sites including All Hallows Church. Among Gedling’s most significant ancient sites is this medieval church, which dates back more than a thousand years.

Another must-see is the Gedling Station building, which is just a short ride away. Although the station is no longer in use, its design captures the once-vibrant railway connections of Gedling. Riding through these historical sites helps one to have a greater respect for the past of the location, something that is frequently overlooked when one just drives by. Riding an e-bike between these sites is smooth and fun, allowing one to easily absorb all the details without rushing.

Stop for Lunch at a Local Café or Pub

Without a well-earned lunch break, no cycling trip is complete. Gedling offers many wonderful options. If you’re in the mood for something laid-back, swing into The Willowbrook, a beloved pub noted for its locally grown cuisine and friendly vibe. Here a nourishing meal offers the ideal energy boost for the second half of the day.

Cafe 1899, located within Gedling Country Park, provides mouthwatering homemade pastries, sandwiches, and great coffee for those seeking a lighter alternative. Since the café is a popular stop for visitors touring the area on foot or bike, it’s also a terrific place to meet other cyclists and environmentalists.

A Scenic Afternoon Ride Along the River Trent

Refueling comes first, then it’s time to cycle down towards one of the most picturesque riding routes in the region, the River Trent. Perfect for a leisurely afternoon ride, the riverfront walkways here provide breathtaking water vistas and an opportunity to see local wildlife. Offering a gentler, more relaxed path, the Trent ride contrasts sharply with the preceding mountainous landscape of Gedling Country Park.

The calm environment of cycling beside the River Trent is among its greatest features. A feature of any bicycle tour around Gedling is the riverfront trails, which let riders appreciate the peace of the water unlike the busy streets. Those who choose an e-bike can enjoy the surroundings free from worrying about tired legs and cruise easily along the paths.

Discovering Colwick Country Park and Its Lakes

From the River Trent, head for Colwick Country Park and Its Lakes, another amazing cycling location near Gedling. For those who enjoy being outdoors, the park boasts vast meadows, wooded paths, and large lakes. Anyone riding through the borough should definitely visit this place whether they decide to stop for a quick breather by the lake or circle the paths of the park.

If you’re in the mood for some adventure, you could even see some kayakers or paddleboarders out on the lakes at Colwick Country Park, which is famous for its association with water sports. Before returning into town, the somewhat smooth bike paths around the park are ideal for enjoying your afternoon ride.

Evening Wind-Down at a Riverside Pub or Park

A drink or a bite at one of Gedling’s lovely riverfront bars is the best way to unwind as the day comes to end. One excellent place to finish your day is the Ferry Inn on the banks of the River Trent. This pub provides the ideal environment for you to think about your day of riding, whether your taste is for a meal with a view or a refreshing beverage.

A ride back to Gedling Country Park to see the sunset over the hills is as satisfying for those who would choose a more leisurely way to end the day. As you ride back, the golden tones of the twilight sky create the ideal backdrop to finish off your day of exploration.

Why Cycling is the Best Way to Experience Gedling

Riding across Gedling offers a special means of engaging with history and the surroundings. Cycling achieves the ideal balance unlike walking, which limits how much terrain you can cover, or driving, which often pushes you to rush past beautiful locations. Riding a bike is an adventure in freedom and discovery, whether you choose to cruise through parks at your leisure or race across town.

Riding an e-bike enhances the experience even more since it lets you really appreciate every part of the ride and makes big distances seem effortless. Riding enthusiasts will find Gedling’s varied terrain—from hills to riverbank paths—ideal, and the use of an e-bike guarantees no course is too difficult.
