Teenager arrested in Bestwood after Gedling cops discover ‘hunting-style knife’ during search

A teenager has been arrested by a Gedling police neighbourhood team after allegedly being found with a knife in Bestwood.

Officers were out on patrol when they stopped and searched a youth who was acting suspiciously.

It resulted in a hunting-style knife being seized, which had been concealed inside his jogging bottoms, and the suspect was arrested.

The 16-year-old boy, who can’t be named for legal reasons, was subsequently charged with possessing a knife in a public place following the incident which happened around 5.20pm on Monday (9).

He was bailed ahead of his appearance at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on September 25.

The youth was bailed ahead of his appearance at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on September 25.

PC Michael Callan, of the Gedling north neighbourhood team, said: “There is never an excuse for anyone to carry a knife in a public place – for the simple reason that doing this is incredibly dangerous.

“As well as obviously putting others in danger, carrying a knife also puts that person at more risk of harm too.

“As a neighbourhood team we take all reports of knife crime extremely seriously and our priority is to keep people safe.

“On this occasion I’m pleased we were able to follow up suspicions of criminality during our proactive patrols which resulted in a knife being taken off the streets and a suspect being charged in connection with this incident.”

Nottinghamshire Police is also reminding people that so-called ‘Zombie-style’ knives and machetes will be made illegal to keep in private anywhere in the UK from 24 September.

Ahead of this, a national surrender and compensation scheme is currently underway, where owners of these weapons can hand them in and be financially compensated.

Nottinghamshire Police is supporting the initiative, which runs until the day of the law change.

Gedling borough is set to host a special event to mark the International Day of Peace.

To celebrate the occasion, Gedling Borough Council is planning a ‘Peace in the Park’ event at Gedling Country Park.

The event will take place on Saturday, September 21 from 11am to 3pm and will be a day of celebrating environmental sustainability, wellbeing and global peace.

There will be free activities for all ages, including arts and crafts, outdoor entertainment from Handmade Theatre, live music, community stalls, guided walks around the park and there will also be an unveiling of a willow sculpture, made by attendees of the event, that will be installed in the park to commemorate the International Day of Peace.

The United Nations theme for the date this year is ‘Cultivating a Culture of Peace’ which will be reflected in the activities taking place throughout the day.

The event is being funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Funding and will be completely free to attend. Parking is limited but there is a regular bus service that stops outside the park.

Gedling Country Park has retained its Green Flag Award

The aim of the event is to celebrate the diverse community and bring everyone together and have equal access to services. The event will also promote health and wellbeing at one of the borough’s most visited parks, which recently retained its Green Flag status for the ninth year in a row.

Councillor Kathryn Fox, Portfolio Holder for Life Chances and Vulnerability said: “This is a great event to bring our communities together and show that we are at our strongest when we are together.

People across Gedling borough warned of new parking fine scam

People across Gedling borough have been receiving scam text messages ordering them to pay a parking fine.

The county council has issued a warning after reports of the fraud started flooding in.

The text claims the recipient has incurred a parking fine and directs them to follow a link for more information.

The link leads to a fake but convincing copy of the government website which asks the user to enter their vehicle registration number.

It then explains the vehicle has been issued a fine and names a local car park.

Experts believe the scammers are using the IP address of the users’ devices to find a nearby car park.

The recipient is then asked to enter their personal and financial information to pay the fine, which is usually £25.

A spokesman for Nottinghamshire County Council said: “Please be aware of an ongoing national scam relating to parking fines that is currently in circulation.

“Nottinghamshire County Council  will never contact you via text message in relation to a Penalty Charge Notice (PCN).

“If you have received a scam text message please ensure you forward it to the National Cyber Security Service  on 7726.”

Creations were ‘out of this world’ at the Stoke Bardolph Scarecrow Festival

Some ‘out of this world’ characters were on display in Stoke Bardolph recently when the village held its annual Scarecrow Festival.

Now in its fourth year, the festival, which is organised by a group of dedicated volunteers, continues to attract crowds of visitors, eager to see what impressive creations the villagers have come up with.

The village became awash with aliens, ghosts and Star Wars scarecrows as 24 households throughout the village embraced this years ‘Sci-Fi’ them

The non-profit-making community event supported by the villagers of Stoke Bardolph, Rivendell Care Home staff and residents and also the Trent Valley Councillors, who provide the prizes and judge  the competition. 

The scarecrows could be found at various locations throughout the village and Rivendell Care Home.

Maps were available to buy at the village hall for the minimum of £1.00 each, with 100% of the map sales going to the Scarecrow winners nominated charity.  

Organiser Sue Harte said: “The amount raised from map sales was £111.00 and the scarecrow winners nominated charity was Cancer Research which they were very grateful for.

“Overall, considering the weather, it was a very successful event with lots of support from the community and surrounding communities.

“The scarecrows were amazing with some brilliant creative ideas and I can’t wait for next year’s event to see what creations will be on display.

“Thanks to Kathy and Stuart for opening the village hall car park so all our visitors could park safely and also for opening the hall for refreshments.”
