Match Report: Cleethorpes Town 2 – 0 Carlton Town FC

NPL First Division East – 27 March 2024

Cleethorpes Town goalkeeper Heath Richardson produced an outstanding display as Carlton Town were frustrated at the seaside, going down 2-0 to the Owls.

After the home side took a first half lead, Richardson made three top-drawer saves in the second half to deny the Millers during a spell of relentless pressure from the playoff chasers.  And a second Cleethorpes goal in added time confirmed Carlton’s defeat, despite an enterprising display.

Carlton made two changes to the side which had won at Dunston last time out.  Goalkeeper Felix Annan was unavailable and so Nykah Liburd-Hines returned to the team.  Shea Thompson-Harris had suffered a broken bone in his foot in that win and so David Adegbola returned to the side.

Beginning a run of six games in 14 days, Carlton began well and Nat Watson almost scored on just five minute when his cushioned header from a Lewis Durow cross went just over the bar.

Lamin Manneh then sent a whipped ball into the danger area but no-one was on hand to convert.

Liburd-Hines was off his line quickly to clear a long ball over the top as Clee came back into the game but Carlton almost scored midway through the half when some clever play between Watson and Durow led to the former shooting just wide.

Josh Venney fired high and wide from a good position for the home side before Liburd-Hines made a fine save from an early shot from Josh Walker.

Cleethorpes pushed forward and Curtis Bateson shot over the top from close range before the Owls opened the scoring on 38 minutes.  Liburd-Hines played the ball to Niall Hylton on the left.  He lost possession and Cleethorpes attacked down the right before crossing to Brody Robertson who converted on the turn.

The Millers almost levelled on the stroke of half time when Durow, Hylton and Watson combined to feed Greg Tempest but his shot was saved by Richardson.

Carlton brought on Niall Davie at half time to help get control of the midfield but Clee had the first chance with Liburd-Hines making a fine save from a Robertson free kick.  Carlton then forced the home side to retreat and spent more or less the next half an hour launching wave after wave of attacks.

Watson went on an excellent run before slipping the ball to Hylton on the right.  He beat Louis Boyd before crossing for an unmarked Watson just six yards out.  His header looked a certain goal until Richardson threw his arm to the right and tipped the ball over the bar.

Manneh then played the ball to substitute Mamadoh Sylla-Diablo and his shot from 25 yards looked destined for the top corner until another stunning save from Richardson.

Still Carlton pushed forward.  A Manneh corner was missed by Davie at the near post.  The ball fell to Watson who crossed for Manneh to shoot.  Richardson saved but the rebound fell to Manneh who fired over when it looked easier to score.

Alex Howes was playing a deeper role in front of the defence and he impressed, alongside the rock solid Dan Brown and Dean Freeman partnership, in ensuring Clee barely had the ball.  But they did have the odd chance and Liburd-Hines made an excellent save from Robertson with time running out.

Micah Jebbison joined proceedings and he had a superb chance to level when he ran though on goal after Sylla-Diallo had played the ball to Davie.  But Jebbison shot straight at Richardson and the goalkeeper saved yet again.  The subsequent corner from Durow beat everyone but there was nobody at the back post to convert.

Durow then moved the ball to Jebbison who tried an audacious flick from the edge of the box but Richardson recovered his ground to save.  Freeman then headed just past the post from the following corner.

It was apparent that it just wasn’t Carlton’s night and Josh Walker rubbed salt into the Millers wounds when he headed home unmarked from a corner in added time to confirm the win for the Owls.

The Carlton squad came across to thank the small band of travelling supporters at the end.  It was appreciated as always.

Carlton Town: N Liburd-Hynes, D Adegbola, L Durow, D Brown, D Freeman, G Tempest (M Sylla-Diallo 53), L Manneh, A Howes, A Hardwick (N Davie 46), N Watson, N Hylton (M Jebbison 64).  Unused subs: P Dearle, M Ford

Cramped tips should be replaced with ‘supersites’, councillors say

Cramped tips should be replaced with ‘supersites’, councillors say

Recycling and waste ‘supersites’ should be created in a major shake-up of Nottinghamshire’s tips, a council committee has said.

Councillors have backed a report which found many of the county’s twelve current sites are congested, too cramped and cause traffic problems.

Further investigation will now begin into how the sites could be consolidated into larger purpose-built centres.

The changes could save up to £1.7m per year, a report which went before a Nottinghamshire County Council committee on Wednesday (March 27) said.

It is claimed there would be “minimal operational impact”, and changes would still leave 97 per cent of residents within a 20-minute drive of a site.

Councillor Nigel Moxon (Con), who led the review, said the changes were designed to improve service and recycling rates, rather than cut costs.

The review began in 2022 after concerns that some of the centres weren’t “fit for purpose”.

However, some councillors at the committee refused to endorse any plan which could potentially lead to the closure of some centres.

Councillor Richard Butler (Con) said: “Better-designed recycling centres would be preferable, even if they’re further away.”

He said residents could “spend a huge amount of time trapped” in the West Bridgford centre due to congestion.

“It’s quicker for me to travel 17 miles to the large, purpose-built facility in Newark than six miles to West Bridgford due to the sheer inconvenience and hassle.”

Councillor Sybil Fielding (Lab) said backlogs at the Worksop site created dangerous queues on the main road.

No locations have been chosen for supersites yet, although there are a range of council-owned sites available.

Five members of the committee backed the plan, while two Independent members voted against.

Councillor Tom Hollis (Ind) said he didn’t want to see “supersites created at the expense of others”.

“This looks to me like cuts to services, including site closures. We saw a massive rise of flytipping when they closed temporarily during Covid.

“How can we justify encouraging residents to make longer round trips?”

He asked for assurances that none of the sites in the Ashfield, Mansfield or Broxtowe districts would be closed.

Councillor Steve Carr (Ind) said: “It’s madness to support at this stage. I will not back any reports that make it more difficult to recycle.

“If you vote for this, you are voting for closing recycling centres.”

Redhill housing estate approved, but ‘abnormal costs’ limit affordable housing

Redhill housing estate approved, but ‘abnormal costs’ limit affordable housing

A new housing estate has been approved near Arnold despite councillors’ disappointment over the lack of affordable housing.

The application for 141 homes off the A60 in Redhill was approved unanimously by Gedling Borough Council on Wednesday (March 28).

The new estate, near Bestwood County Park, will form the second part of the Eagle’s Edge development.

According to council policies, a development of that size would have required 42 cheaper-priced affordable homes.

However, officers said that £4m of “abnormal costs” meant developer Cora (formally Barwood Homes) could only afford to provide 21 before the project was financially unviable.

The site is steeply sloping and had other difficult terrain which would need to be levelled out during construction.

There will also be 15 properties set aside as first homes.

Councillor David Ellis (Lab) said: “I’m disappointed to see another scheme without full affordable housing. We’ve ended up halfway towards the policy.”

Councillor Mike Adams (Con) questioned whether the affordable homes policy should be reviewed – “otherwise we’re going to be in this position of being disappointed every time.”

Officers said the site had unique challenges which weren’t fully known when it was allocated for housing, and that the policy would be reviewed by Cabinet later this year.

The development was unanimously approved by planning committee members.

Robbie Locke, Head of Planning & Strategic Land at Cora, said after the meeting: “We are delighted to receive permission for the second phase of Eagle’s Edge in Redhill, furthering our commitment and investment to the area.

“This development will provide a further 144 energy efficient new homes for the community – including those available on the government backed First Homes scheme along with affordable rental options, all of which will be set within more than two hectares of open space.”

PLANNING: New dental practice proposed for Woodborough Road, Mapperley

Plans to change the use of a Victorian dwelling from a C3 (dwelling) to Class E (dental practice) are to be considered by Gedling Borough Council planners following a planning application submitted by Mr. Ian Storm of Storm Design acting as agent on behalf of Mr. Tamang of TMG Properties of Sherwood.

The change of use refers to 870 Woodborough Road, Mapperley, Nottinghamshire, NG3 5QQ.

A supporting statement provided in support of the planning application states that the proposal is to open a new Dental practice within the existing building, by the refurbishing and fitting out of the existing Victorian dwelling, to expand the offering of Dentistry provision within Mapperley and the surrounding area.

The planning application states that the proposed development will not add/remove any parking spaces.

The supporting planning statement further states that the owner of the premises operates as a Dentist for a very well-established dental practice and has been providing outstanding dental care for the local community for over eight years.

The application states that regeneration of the premise, will predominantly be focused on the modernisation of the interior of the building with minimal changes externally. (The only main external consideration will be proposed in a separate application, will take into consideration the councils and the neighbours’ thoughts on the size and location of any signage for the business.)

The application also concludes that approval of the application will allow the creation of a new surgery that will allow the employment of new dentists and hygienists as well as additional support staff. Both expanding local employment opportunities and offering the local and extended community to access essential dentistry in a location with good access links.

Plans approved for unique barrow burial site in Calverton

Plans approved for unique barrow burial site in Calverton

A funeral business has been given the green light to build the first and only modern barrow site in the East Midlands at Calverton.

The handcrafted stone barrows, which draw inspiration from ancient monuments, will be located on George’s Lane just outside the village, following the approval of the family business’s planning application by Gedling Borough Council.

The site was originally granted permission to be a cemetery in August 2022. Once this approval was secured, A.W. Lymn, who own the site, started to consider how part of the site could be transformed to offer a different form of memorial – the barrows.

A planning application for one closed and two open barrows on a small part of the 27-acre cemetery in late 2023. Having addressed original concerns and offering significant changes to the design, the application has now been approved.

Pete Clarson, commercial director at A.W. Lymn, said: “When it comes to saying a final goodbye, we recognise that this doesn’t always look the same for everyone. Having a variety of options to choose from to suit your personal needs, preferences and wishes is so incredibly important.

“The barrows, however, are more than a place for ashes to be laid to rest. It’s a place where recently bereaved can go to understand their grief, accept their loss, and celebrate a life.

“We will soon be offering a very unique and timeless memorial option, while also actively respecting the rural character of the site.”

The ritual of using burial mounds (barrows) is one of the oldest funeral traditions in Britain, dating back millennia. The beautiful, natural-looking barrows are designed with niches for cremated remains to be placed within, providing a peaceful setting for a service and final resting place.
