Arnold’s Paviors RFC players go international with England and Wales

Though it’s the close-season, there has been plenty going on at Arnold’s Paviors Rugby Club.

Dee McKenzie , one of the club’s Under 18’s Women’s Squad has been selected to attend the England Under 18’s training camp at Wellington College, this month.

Club President Neil Kendrick told us that “The club is extremely proud of Dee’s achievements – she sets an amazing example to others in the club and the club is proud of her achievements.”

But its not just Dee making waves at the top level as Neil added “Four of our youngsters attended the Welsh Exiles Training Camp ( eligibility through Welsh parentage/grand parentage) recently at Trent College : Danny Mountain, Josh Kirwan-Thomas and Owen Evans were involved in the under 15 training, while Evan Griffiths was with the Under 13’s.”

Public urged to continue using 141 bus following another commitment to route

Public urged to continue using 141 bus following another commitment to route

A Nottinghamshire councillor has urged the public to continue using a once-at-risk bus service after it was again protected for passengers.

Nottinghamshire County Council and Stagecoach have extended their commitment to the route exactly a year after it was saved from the axe.

Former provider Trentbarton confirmed last year it could no longer afford to run the route, from Sutton-in-Ashfield to Nottingham, amid lagging passenger numbers.

The route serves villages in Gedling borough.

But campaigns from politicians and petitions from the public called for the route to be saved – citing it as a “vital lifeline” for communities.

The route connects Sutton and Nottingham via Mansfield and several other villages and towns like Bestwood, Hucknall and Rainworth.

It also connects residents to King’s Mill Hospital and City Hospital as and is described as “vital” for rural communities in accessing shops and services.

Months of concerns in 2022 led to meetings between Trentbarton bosses, county councillors and cross-party politicians trying to find a solution for the route.

It led to the Conservative-led county council committing to subsidising the route for 12 months before Stagecoach committed to taking it on in full.

Now both organisations have confirmed their commitment to the route again in a new deal bringing better terms for the service.

The cost of the subsidy paid by the taxpayer to run the route will eventually reduce over time with the operator to develop and market the service in the future.

The route and timetable of the 141 will remain the same in the new deal, the organisations have said.

Speaking to the Local Democracy Reporting Service, Cllr Neil Clarke (Con), cabinet member for transport and environment, said: “This isn’t a traditional service, it serves a lot of people for a lot of different reasons.

“It’s important we keep it going as it’s such a comprehensive route with the volume of passengers going up and down depending on where you are.

“It’s serving so many communities – including urban communities and then going out to the rural and isolated areas – and that’s the beauty of it.”

He confirmed there has been an increase in passenger numbers since Stagecoach took over the route and said this showed saving it was “the right thing to do”.

But he added the route must continue to be used to ensure it does not become at-risk again in the future.

He said: “We’ve worked hard to make sure it can continue. It’s really important to a lot of people and we’re really pleased to keep it going for residents.

“Reliability has improved dramatically and passenger numbers have increased quite substantially.

“But we want to make sure people do keep using it and to encourage as many people as possible to use it and make sure it continues, improves and keeps going.”

Stagecoach East Midlands added it is “delighted to partner [with] Nottinghamshire County Council to deliver 141 between Sutton, Mansfield, and Nottingham”.

Chase Farm development in Gedling to be served by extended Sky Blue bus service

The new Chase Farm housing development in Gedling will soon be served by an extension of current Sky Blue 45.

Nottingham City Transport will be introducing the changes from the beginning of September as part of its regular review of services.

Orange 34 will be re-routed in the City Centre to serve the full length of Canal Street, Bellar Gate and Cranbrook Street. This new route provides improved connectivity to the new student accommodation areas on the eastern side of the City, as well as to the Motorpoint Arena.

Anthony Carver-Smith, NCT Head of Marketing said, “We regularly review our network, taking into account customer and driver feedback.

“We are delighted to be able to expand our network to serve the new Chase Farm development and provide improved access to the eastern side of the City Centre. Overall usage of the NCT network is at around 90% of the levels we carried pre-pandemic, but there are some routes and areas where demand is much lower.

“Our September changes include revised timetables on Lime Line and Navy 49, to better reflect the number of people now using these services.”

Full details and new timetables are available to view at www.nctx.co.uk/servicechange and printed timetable leaflets will be available from the NCT Travel Centre from August 23.

Claire proudly told us that “The boutique stocks clothing in sizes from 8UK to 26UK and we also have changing room facilities. Our prices for clothing run from approximately £9 to £45 and handbag prices start even lower.

“Although our prices are affordable shoppers can be assured of excellent quality. Indeed we love to support British producers and we source as much stock as possible from the UK however the majority of our stock is from Italy. All clothing made in the UK clearly marked.”

Blooming Marvelous – New florist and home decor shop to open in Mapperley

Mapperley is set to welcome a new florist and home decor studio as Blooms prepares to open.

Commercial property specialists NG Chartered Surveyors made the announcement today (11) that they have completed a deal to bring the new shop to Mapperley Top.

They said that Mapperley Blooms will specialise in fresh flowers, but will also be selling vases, candle holders and luxury fragrance diffusers – with the range to expand over time.

It is reported that Alicia Lewis acted on behalf of NG’s private landlord client to seal the deal for 966 Woodborough Road and that she said “As a Mapperley resident myself, this deal has been close to my heart.

“It’s great to see Vaiva realise her dream of opening this new business – and it’s also great news for the independent retail sector in Mapperley. I’m looking forward to heading to Mapperley Blooms on the weekend and hearing about Vaiva’s progress. The whole team at NG wishes her all the success in the world.”

New owner Vaiva Jokubauske said to NG Chartered Surveyors that her new venture is the realisation of a long-held ambition. She said: “Having my own fresh flower shop is something that I’ve been dreaming about since forever! I’m super-excited to welcome the locals to Mapperley Blooms.”

Gedling Eye spoke with a local shopper who said “its great to see new businesses opening on the high street. We still have a few more empty units like Greggs and the old banks that need sorting next”.

MATCH REPORT: Clipstone FC 3 – 0 Gedling Miners Welfare FC

MATCH REPORT: Clipstone FC 3 – 0 Gedling Miners Welfare FC

UCL Division 1

August 9, 2023

Gedling loose to early table toppers Clipstone.  

The miners were playing their first game in 8 days after last week’s postponement and faced a stern test against a Clipstone team who had won both games and scored 10 goals.  

The first 10 minutes was very tight and both teams were just finding their feet and on 7 minutes the visitors created the first chance, Kieran Harrison swung in a corner which Adrian Hawes headed across the box and captain Josh Thornton managed to head back towards goal, but the hosts keeper claimed.  

Clipstone, who had finished 7th last campaign took the lead with their first meaningful attack a cross from the left was not dealt with enough by Exauce Nsiala and Jordan Ball slammed a half volley into the bottom right of the net leaving debutant keeper Josh Mitchell no chance.  

Just 4 minutes later on 18 minutes the cobras doubled their advantage, Tim Gregory broke away down the left and his cross was missed by Mitchell and Will Heather headed into the empty net from 8 yards to give the miners a big uphill task.  

Gedling continued to push forward but failed to create any clear-cut chances until 1st half stoppage time. First, Jack Koczalski found room in the box after a free kick wasn’t dealt with but his effort from 16 yards was held by the hosts keeper and just a minute later Harrison hit a dipping half volley from 25 yards which had to be turned around the post and the miners went into the break 2 down.  

The early stages after the break again were closely contested but on 53 minutes Clipstone put the game to bed with a very well worked goal, Ball and Ryan Ingram played a brilliant give and go and Ingram set up Lewis Bingham who slotted the ball into the corner from 10 yards.  

Things got worse for the miners as on 81 minutes they were reduced to 10 men as Thornton was shown a red card for an apparent attempted punch much to the disagreement of the Gedling faithful.  

Gedling remain without any points after 2 games but have faced 2 teams which have 100% win records so far and are back on the road tomorrow (12) to face Southwell City.  

Gedling Team: Josh Mitchell, Exauce Nsiala (Steven Brett 46’), Buba Ceesay, Ross McCaughey, Jack Koczalski, Adrain Hawes (Kian Clarkson 80’), Victor Somoye (Jack Vipond 46’), Kieran Harrison, Muta Eisa (Gian Ciaurro 68’), Stuart Hendrie, Josh Thornton (C) 

Cautions: Brett (62’), Harrison (66’)  

Dismissals: Thornton (81’)

Man found hiding in a loft at Arnold property with cannabis and cash by police

A man was caught hiding in a loft at an Arnold property with a JD Sports bag containing cannabis and cash when he tried to evade arrest.

Officers attended an address in Worrall Avenue on Thursday, August 10 looking for a man wanted in connection with a GBH offence.

At around 8.40am, they were let into the property and conducted a search.

Within the rear first floor bedroom was a small loft hatch leading into the loft space. Officers made themselves known but no one responded.

Once entering the loft, they found the suspect in a dressing gown lying on his side in front of the water tank attempting to hide.

A search of the loft – close to where the man was hiding – recovered a black jacket containing a quantity of cash and a black JD Sports drawstring bag containing a quantity of cannabis and more cash.

Underneath a wooden floorboard, officers also found a mobile phone.

A 20-year-old man was arrested on possession with intent to supply Class B drugs (cannabis) as well as the GBH offence which took place on July 26.

Sergeant Mark Westlake, from Operation Reacher, said: “This was a brilliant joint effort by uniformed patrols and Radford Road’s Operation Reacher team.

“This suspect thought he could evade police by hiding in a loft but unfortunately for him it didn’t pay off.

“Not only have we arrested him for the GBH offence, but we had enough evidence to arrest him for drug dealing as well.

“More work will now be conducted to understand the scale of the operation he was involved in.”
