Jail-term for serial shoplifter after breaching Criminal Behaviour Order with further thefts

A woman has been jailed for six months for breaching a Criminal Behaviour Order she had been given for persistent shop lifting in Gedling borough.

Prolific thief Samantha Clay was previously given a two-year criminal behaviour order, in November 2023, including conditions not to enter any Co-op store in Nottinghamshire, after police successfully applied to the magistrates’ court.

The 38-year-old, of no fixed address, was also banned from going to the Victoria Retail Park in Netherfield under the terms of her order which she was handed after pleading guilty to stealing coffee and packs of chicken and bacon from the Co-op in Westdale Lane West, Gedling, on October 19 and 23 and stealing jars of coffee from the B&M store at Victoria Retail Park on October 19.

However, despite repeated warnings, she flouted her criminal behaviour order and continued to offend. This resulted in her being arrested and brought back before magistrates in Nottingham, on December 23, 2023, when she admitted to four shop thefts and breaching her order.

She was given one last chance, receiving a three-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, but instead of changing her ways she carried out two further shop thefts and quickly found herself back in handcuffs in 2024. 

Clay was arrested on January 2 for the thefts and a breach of her criminal behaviour order. She pleaded guilty and was subsequently locked up for six months after appearing at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court on January 3.

Additional requirements were also added to her criminal behaviour order, which currently runs until November 17, 2025, prohibiting her from entering any Heron Foods or Nisa Local stores in Nottinghamshire and entering the Morrisons Daily store in Burton Road, Carlton. 

PCSO Allan Cooke, of the Gedling South neighbourhood policing team, has been a driving force around work to tackle and disrupt retail theft offenders as well as offering crime prevention advice and support to retailers in his area.

In support of his ongoing proactive problem-solving work, PCSO Cooke built up an overwhelming file of evidence against Clay which resulted in her criminal behaviour order being initially imposed and later varied.

He said: “Serial shoplifters like Clay have a significant detrimental impact on the businesses they target, and their behaviour has a deeply negative impact on our wider communities. Quite frankly, they should not have to put up with this sort of behaviour.

“I hope her prison sentence and variation of her order sends a clear message that people cannot get away with this of criminality and that the robust action we have taken reassures the wider community that we will not tolerate offenders like Clay whose illegal activity makes people’s lives a misery.

“While I hope Clay gets the support she needs to address her harmful behaviour, if she continues to breach her order following her release, she will find herself back before the courts and could face an even longer spell behind bars.”

Why More Gedling Businesses are Finding the Usefulness of a Virtual Assistant

In the dynamic landscape of Gedling’s business sector, the adoption of virtual assistants is rapidly gaining momentum. Small and large enterprises alike are discovering the transformative power of these aides in enhancing productivity, streamlining operations, and ultimately boosting their bottom line. Let’s delve into the reasons why an increasing number of Gedling businesses are recognising the usefulness of virtual assistants.

  1. Cost-efficiency and scalability

Small businesses in Gedling often face budget constraints, making hiring a full-time, in-house administrative staff challenging. Virtual assistants offer a cost-effective solution, as businesses can pay for the services they need when they need them. This scalability allows enterprises to allocate resources more efficiently, directing funds towards critical aspects of their operations, such as product development or marketing.

  • 24/7 availability and flexibility

One significant advantage of virtual assistants is their ability to work around the clock. Unlike traditional office hours, virtual assistants, especially from agencies such as www.pink-spaghetti.co.uk, can handle tasks, answer queries, and provide support anytime. This 24/7 availability caters to a global audience and ensures that businesses in Gedling can promptly address urgent matters, fostering customer satisfaction and loyalty.

  • Focus on core business functions

When you outsource time-consuming and routine tasks to your virtual assistant, your business in Gedling can have more valuable time. This enables your employees to concentrate on core business functions, innovation, and strategic planning, driving overall business growth. Your virtual assistant can handle administrative tasks, email management, and data entry, allowing you to operate more efficiently and stay ahead of the competition!

  • Enhanced productivity and efficiency

The efficiency of virtual assistants in handling repetitive tasks is unmatched. They can quickly process data, schedule appointments, and manage calendars, reducing the likelihood of errors associated with this kind of work. With improved accuracy and speed, businesses in Gedling can operate more smoothly, leading to increased productivity and higher output levels.

  • Adapting to remote work trends

The recent shift towards remote work has highlighted the need for flexible solutions. Virtual assistants can seamlessly integrate into remote work environments, providing support to employees regardless of their physical location. This adaptability ensures businesses in Gedling can continue their operations smoothly, even in the face of unforeseen challenges (like the recent global pandemic).

  • Advanced technological capabilities and skillsets

Virtual assistants leverage cutting-edge technologies, including artificial intelligence and natural language processing, to perform complex tasks. These technologies enable them to understand and respond to user queries, manage intricate processes, and even learn from previous interactions to continuously improve their performance. Businesses in Gedling benefit from this technological prowess, gaining access to advanced tools without the need for extensive training or infrastructure investment. Plus, they are adept at many skills – from website design to bookkeeping to content management – which helps your Gedling business even more!

The rise of virtual assistants in business is a testament to their versatility and transformative impact on day-to-day operations. From cost-effective solutions for small enterprises to the scalability and advanced capabilities that benefit larger corporations, virtual assistants are becoming an integral part of the modern business landscape. As businesses in Gedling continue to navigate a rapidly evolving marketplace, the adoption of virtual assistants stands as a strategic move towards increased efficiency, productivity, and overall success.

Suspected dealer arrested after bags of cocaine and heroin were thrown onto shop roof in Calverton

Suspected dealer arrested after bags of cocaine and heroin were thrown onto shop roof in Calverton

A package containing heroin and cocaine were recovered from the roof of a shop in Calverton following a police chase in Calverton.

A large quantity of drugs (pictured) were recovered from the top of the Co-op store, in Flatts Lane, following the arrest a 19-year-old male who had tried to outrun police during a chase in the village on Thursday night (4).

The teenager was found in a nearby house after a police drone captured him jumping over fencing and through gardens.

Once they’d put him in handcuffs, an officer climbed onto the roof of the Co-op to retrieve a package that was thrown.

A grey plastic bag containing a large quantity of Class A drug wraps was subsequently found and so the teenager was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs.

The chase took place shortly after 10.15pm and was triggered by the teenager running away from police after they approached a parked car that he was sat inside in Pepper Road. 

The officers, from the Road Crime Team, approached the Seat Leon after checks found it had been previously linked to the supply of controlled drugs.

As the officers walked towards the car, the teenager got out and ran – with his arrest taking place just minutes later.

Meanwhile, a second man who was sat in the driver’s seat remained in the vehicle. The 31-year-old was also arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply Class A drugs after a large amount of cash was found in the car, along with a mobile phone suspected of containing text messages relating to drug dealing.

Both men remain in custody for questioning.

Detective Inspector Lisa Jones, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This is a good example of why officers always remain vigilant on patrol.

“Having spotted this car parked up late at night with its lights on, officers carried out checks and found it had been previously linked to drug-dealing.

“The passenger thought he could outrun police but failed miserably, not least because a police drone could trace his every step.

“Officers have then recovered drugs from a shop roof and a thorough search of the vehicle uncovered more evidence of drug-related crime.

“As a result we have now taken a large quantity of Class A drugs out of circulation along with a substantial amount of cash. This would probably have gone straight into the pockets of criminals to fund further illicit activity and organised crime.

“For this reason, getting rid of drugs from our streets is extremely important to us as a force and we will continue to take robust action against those involved in drug-dealing.”

Match Report: North Ferriby 1 – 4 Carlton Town

NPL First Division East – January 6

Carlton Town moved back into the play off spots as they started 2024 with a bang following a 4-1 win at North Ferriby.

Backed by a superb travelling support of around 50 fans, the Millers dominated the game from start to finish and thoroughly deserved their win.  Ferriby did have their moments, as befitted a side who had won seven of the nine home games and who beat Carlton at Stoke Lane back in August, but by the end they finished with nine men after their frustrations got the better of them in the second half.

Mark Harvey and Tommy Brookbanks made two changes to the side which had been beaten by Grimsby Borough last time out.  Into the side came Lewis Durow and David Adegbola in place of the absent Niall Hylton and Greg Tempest.  The bench featured Dan Brown and Lawrence Gorman, both back in contention after lengthy injury absences.

On a playing surface that was in excellent condition considering the recent weather, the Villagers had the first moment of danger when Danny Earl’s cross from the left flew across the face of goal.

The Millers should have opened the scoring soon afterwards when Khyle Sargent met a Niall Davie free kick unmarked just six yards from goal but he headed just wide.

Carlton did take the lead on 14 minutes with a well-worked goal.  Sargent picked up the ball in midfield and played a lovely pass to Davie on the left.  His cross found Lamin Manneh who headed past Tom Jackson at his near post.

Eight minutes later Manneh doubled Carlton’s lead.  Alex Hardwick sent Manneh away on the left.  He ran through on goal slipping past Jack Johnson and his shot found the back of the net despite the efforts of captain Niall Tilsley to keep it out.

Still Carlton kept pushing forward and a fine run by Adegbola on the right led to a Davie shot which was deflected away for a corner.  Manneh took it and Dean Freeman flicked onto Hardwick at the far post who headed just over.

Manneh then ran onto a clearance from Felix Annan and got a shot away but Levi Tarbotton was able to clear, before Jackson made another save from the same player.

With just a minute to go before half time Ferriby pulled a goal back.  Carlton conceded an unnecessary free kick in the right wing position and were still organizing themselves when the Villagers re-started with a quick free kick.  The ball was crossed into Tom Corner who got ahead of his marker and headed into the corner of the net.

The referee indicated three minutes of added time and in the final minute of that period Carlton restored their two goal advantage with an excellent goal.  Sargent and Adegbola combined down the right with a couple of lovely passes.  Sargent then put his foot on the ball, looked up and slipped a fine pass into Davie.  He squared to the oncoming Alex Howes  who steered the ball past Jackson to the delight of the travelling support behind the goal.

That goal had the feeling of a match winner, even at that early stage of the game, but the Villagers did start the second half with intent and Annan made an excellent save from Johnson.  Manneh was the subject of a number of industrial challenges from Ferriby players and on 50 minutes Danny East was sent off for a second yellow card after another foul on Manneh.

The 10 men did push to try and get back into the game and Tilsley went closest to scoring, hitting the bar with a header.  From the resultant corner Carlton broke quickly and Manneh played a lovely pass to send Adegbola away on the right.   He sprinted past Harry Wallis before finishing stylishly past Jackson to spark yet more scenes behind the goal.

From then on the game was over as a contest and Carlton had the luxury of being able to bring on Brown and Gorman before the end to get some minutes into their legs.  Ferriby’s final indignation was the sending off of Earl for a second yellow card with four minutes remaining following a foul on Sargent.

Hardwick saw a late effort saved by Jackson before the referee ended proceedings and the visiting players and coaches came across to celebrate with the joyous supporters.

Flooding minister visits flood-hit community in Colwick to reassure residents

Flooding minister visits flood-hit community in Colwick to reassure residents

Flood Minister, Robbie Moore MP, was yesterday (5) welcomed to Vale Road in Colwick today by Gedling MP Tom Randall MP to meet with residents and see the impact that flooding has had on the community.

They were joined by Colwick’s County Councillor Mike Adams and representatives from the Environment Agency during the visit to properties along Vale Road that had been internally flooded and spoke to residents.

The group also inspected the overflowing brook on Vale Road and the flooded highway. 

After the visit, Tom Randall MP said: “It is devastating that properties along Vale Road in Colwick have internally flooded as a result of the heavy rainfall and rising River Trent levels causing the brook on Vale Road to overflow into properties and onto the street.

“I invited the Flood Minister to visit and talk to the flood hit residents today – one told us that this is the first time in 100 years that Vale Road has flooded like this. 

“Thankfully, the rain has now stopped and the River Trent levels are dropping which is allowing street drains and the brook to drain onto nearby floodplains and into the Trent. Those residents whose houses have sadly flooded can find advice on Nottinghamshire County Council’s website (www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/flooding-help-and-advice/during-a-flood)”

Colwick’s County Councillor Mike Adams, who arranged for sandbags to be deployed to households along Vale Road, said: “A big thank you to all the volunteers who have helped to handout sandbags and assisted with pumps.

“Thanks also to Colwick’s local Borough Councillor, Parish Councillors and agencies including Nottinghamshire County Council, Severn Trent, Environment Agency and Gedling Borough Council for co-ordinating a multi-agency response in support of Vale Road residents.”

Mr Randall added: “Once the clean-up has been completed, a multi-agency review of this week’s flood will take place and measures will be taken to help mitigate the impact of future floods on residential properties in Colwick, Stoke Bardolph, Burton Joyce and across the county.”

The Flood Minister, Robbie Moore MP said: “I understand that this is the first time that this road in Colwick has been flooded in 100 years. Something that residents had not been expecting to see and it has taken them by surprise. What we need to do is reassure residents that weather it is the Council, Tom as their MP or Government are on their side and doing all that we can.

“What we’ve seen is huge amounts of rainfall on very saturated land. Luckily the Trent has gone past its peak and is starting to drop. The Government is looking at what additional measures we can do.

He added: “We want to provide that reassurance and work with the likes of Nottinghamshire County Council to make sure we are as helpful, quick, and efficient in the support that we can provide.”

Application deadline approaching for September 2024 primary school places.

Application deadline approaching for September 2024 primary school places.

Applications for school places have been open since last November (2023) for parents in Nottinghamshire with children who are starting reception or due to transfer from infant (year 2) to junior education (year 3) in September 2024.

Parents have until Monday, January 15, 2024 to complete their application on time for children in Gedling borough and throughout Nottinghamshire who will turn five years old between September 1, 2024 and August 31, 2025, or are transferring from infant to junior or primary school.

In November (2023) Nottinghamshire County Council strongly advised parents to do their research on their preferred schools, use all four preferences, and check the admissions criteria thoroughly for the schools they would prefer their child to attend.

Applying online means that Gedling borough parents can access their school offer on national offer day, before offer letters are mailed out and the easiest way to apply for a place is online at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/admissions

For the best chance of being offered a place at a preferred school, the council advises parents to include schools where their child would have higher priority in the admission criteria and to list four schools.

Nottinghamshire County Council’s Cabinet Member for Children and Families, Councillor Tracey Taylor, said: “It is important for parents to remember that children do not automatically transfer from nursery to full-time school and that they will need to submit an application to join reception year.

“The good news is that last year, over 99% of families in Nottinghamshire who applied on-time were offered one of their preferred infant, junior or primary schools.

“I would encourage parents to research their preferred schools, to list four schools and to apply on time to be given the best chance of being offered a place at a school that they would be happy for their child to attend”.

There is no guarantee that a child who attends a school’s nursery will get a place in reception at that same school and parents must make a formal application for a place.

Likewise, if a child is in year 2 at an infant school, there is no automatic transfer to year 3 at junior or primary.

Parents of children living in Nottinghamshire should apply through Nottinghamshire County Council, even if they wish to apply for schools in other local authority areas such as Nottingham City or Derbyshire.

Those who apply online will be able to log in to their account on National Offer Day on Tuesday, 16 April 2024 to view the outcome of their application. If parents provide an email address, the outcome will be sent by email. All other applications will be mailed by second class post on National Offer Day.

Applications received after the closing date are considered as late applications and will be processed once all on-time applications have been offered.

The council’s website www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/admissions has full details about the application process, and the ‘Admissions to Schools: Guide for Parents 2024-2025’ contains lots of useful information and advice. 

RECYCLING: This January, Gedling residents can support the NSPCC by recycling right

RECYCLING: This January, Gedling residents can support the NSPCC by recycling right

Nottinghamshire residents are being encouraged to kickstart the new year by recycling right for charity and Gedling borough residents can do their bit.

Nottinghamshire County Council have announced that for every search carried out on the Recycling Checker in January, Veolia, Nottinghamshire County Council’s recycling and waste partner, will donate 10p to the NSPCC Nottinghamshire Hub, the UK’s children’s charity, with a commitment to contribute up to £1,000.

The statement advises that by downloading the free MyNotts app and using the Recycling Checker, residents can not only enhance their recycling knowledge but also help the NSPCC Nottinghamshire Hub, the Nottinghamshire County Council Chairman’s chosen charity for 2024.

The charity protects children at risk and finds the best ways of preventing abuse from happening. All funds raised will go directly to helping children and young people in Nottinghamshire.

Recycling in the UK saves 18 million tonnes of CO2 a year and is a great way to combat climate change. More and more people across Nottinghamshire know that putting the right items in the right bin means more of our waste gets recycled right.

Putting the wrong things in a recycling bin can ruin the recycling efforts of a whole neighbourhood as the truckload may be rejected The Recycling Checker has been developed to make sure that the wrong thing placed in a recycling bin doesn’t spoil other high-quality items. The app breaks down the items into their component parts so that residents can ensure that they recycle everything right.

Councillor John Ogle, Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council says: “We can all play a part in helping our environment by reducing our waste, reusing where possible and recycling.  Join me this January in using the Recycling Checker before you dispose, and in return Veolia will donate 10p each time you do a search to my chosen charity for the year The NSPCC in Nottinghamshire.”

Steve Newman, General Manager Veolia Nottinghamshire, said: “We want Nottinghamshire residents to make their 2024 more sustainable by choosing to reduce, reuse, and recycle correctly. While using the Recycling Checker might seem like a small change, collectively, we can make a huge difference by ensuring we recycle the right things.”

If you’re ready to dive straight in and see how the Recycling Checker can help your household’s recycling habits, download the MyNotts app, available from the App Store and Google Play Store or visit https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/recyclingchecker
