Council tax rise planned by Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner

Nottinghamshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner has outlined plans to increase council tax for every household in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Caroline Henry, who was elected to the role in 2021, has put forward a £14.94 increase on ‘Band D’ homes for the coming financial year.

For residents living in ‘Band A’ homes, which make up most homes across the city and county, the rise would mean a £9.96 increase in annual bills.

The rise is slightly below the maximum Band D rise of £15 allowed for the coming financial year.

The increase will be discussed by the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Panel on Tuesday, February 7 when councillors will be asked to approve the rise.

In a report, Mrs Henry said: “In all three years to 2022/23, PCCs were to be allowed to increase Band D bills by as much as £10.

“In December 2022, this was increased from £10 to £15.

“Whilst I welcome the additional precept flexibility, I am mindful that this places further burden on taxpayers, particularly when households are already facing incredible financial pressures.”

What other rises can we expect?

Alongside the police rise, the Nottinghamshire Fire Authority – which sets the budgets for the fire service – is planning a £5 rise for every home.

The precepts for the two emergency services make up slightly less than 15 per cent of every home’s collection bills for the coming financial year.

The remaining 85 per cent of bills depends on which part of the city or county people live in.

Nottingham

For people living in Nottingham, the city council takes the remaining 85 per cent as a single, unitary authority.

The Labour-led council is proposing a 4.99 per cent rise – the most it is allowed to take – leading to an increase of £65.04 for Band A or £97.57 for Band D.

When combined with the emergency services, the total Band A city rise is expected to be £80 exactly, with Band D to pay £117.51 more.

Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire has a two-tier system and so here the county council takes about 75 per cent of all bills.

The remaining 10 per cent goes to district and borough councils, who all decide their own precepts.

The Conservative-run county council is proposing a 4.84 per cent rise from April, working out at £53.05 for Band A or £79.57 for Band D.

When combined with the emergency service rises, it means all Band A Nottinghamshire homes will pay at least £68.01 more, with Band D to pay at least £99.51 more.

Bills then increase further depending on the precepts of each district and borough council – with all authorities allowed a maximum 2.99 per cent rise.

Mansfield District Council has already approved a freeze on its portion of the bill, meaning Mansfield residents will not pay the authority more and are likely to pay less than other areas.

However, using Broxtowe Borough Council as an example, a 2.99 per cent rise would lead to a Band A rise of £3.53 and £5.29 for Band D.

Most other councils have similar council tax rates to Broxtowe, meaning total increases for Band A are expected to be about £72 for Band A and about £105 for Band D.

MATCH REPORT: Gedling Miners Welfare FC 3 – 3 Blackstones

UCL Divison 1

January 28, 2023

Gedling produce another spirited comeback against Blackstones.  

The Miners were playing their first game in 3 weeks due to multiple postponements but inside 5 minutes the hosts hit the front, Paolo Piliero played the ball to Greg Tempest who found Jahren Barrow who hit a thunderbolt from 25 yards that flew into the top left corner for his second in as many games and Barrow’s 4th of the season.  

Blackstones, who sit 8th in the league and have playoff aspirations should have drawn level on 12 minutes, Ryan Lennon beat the offside trap and only had Louis Richardson to beat but Lennon dragged his effort wide of the target from 10 yards.  

Gedling did not learn from this and 4 minutes later the visitors were back on level terms, Josh Randall beat a couple of defenders before slotting a left footed effort into the bottom left corner.  

On 22 minutes the hosts spurned a good chance, Barrow found some room following a Tempest corner but he couldn’t control his effort from 16 yards that went wide.  

On 34 minutes the visitors were awarded a penalty, Randall caused more chaos as he again beat multiple challenges before he was bundled over by Josh Stevenson and Lennon stepped up at dispatched the penalty to give the visitors the lead.  

On 39 minutes it got even better for Stones, a long ball over the top saw Richardson and Adrian Hawes collide and the ball was rolled into the empty net by Randall to give the away side a 3-1 lead 

Gedling’s troubles continued in the first half as on 44 minutes they were reduced to 10 men, Courtney Hastings was sin binned for throwing the ball away but Hastings continued his protest which saw the ref upgrade his punishment to a red card and the miners went into the break with an uphill task.  

Gedling came out the traps fast in the 2nd half pinning the visitors in their own half but they struggled to create a clear-cut chance up until the 70th minute, half time sub-Tyrell Shannon-Lewis was fouled and Tempest whipped in a brilliant free kick which Hawes headed against the crossbar and the ball crossed the line to give the hosts a lifeline.  

Just 3 minutes later the miners were given a golden chance to draw level, Josh Thornton whipped in a superb cross which Shannon-Lewis controlled and he was being held leading the ref to point to the spot and Thornton stepped up and he slotted his penalty beyond the visitor’s keeper to draw the host’s level.  

The 10 men continued to search for a winner but they couldn’t quite find it but Gedling earned another point against Blackstones with 10 men and being down and out just like they did at their place in august.

MATCH REPORT: Carlton Town 0 – 2 Shildon

NPL First Division East

28 January 2023

Carlton Town’s 16 year stay at step 4 is in serious danger after a 2-0 home defeat against fellow strugglers Shildon.

The defeat saw the Millers drop into the automatic relegation positions for the first time this season.  With only one goal and one point since the end of November these are difficult days for the Stoke Lane side.  And with only four clean sheets in 22 league games it’s clear that the problems are at both ends of the pitch.  Finding a solution, and quickly, will no doubt be foremost on the minds of Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey.

The Millers made one change to the side which had lost at Stocksbridge last time out, with Tyler Blake coming in for Brad Wells.

On a difficult playing surface neither side created much in a tense first half.  Jonny White and Khyle Sargent picked up early bookings as Carlton began with determination, looking to get on the front foot.

Carlton had a couple of half chances, including one corner that Harrison Bond in the Shildon goal did well to palm away, but although there was plenty of effort, there was a lack of real quality from both teams.  The pitch didn’t help with players struggling to keep their footing but it was clear that neither side wanted to risk conceding the first goal with the result that both defences were very much on top.

Carlton suffered an injury blow on 26 minutes when Lewis Durow looked to have torn his hamstring.  He was replaced by Kyle Dixon with Niall Hylton dropping to left back.

The home side’s first real chance came on 33 minutes.  White did well to advance down the right and win a throw in.  The ball was played to Kyle Tomlin who played a lovely one-two with Blake before speeding to the by-line and sending over a superb cross that was just begging to be converted, but no Carlton player was on hand.

Minutes later Tomlin slipped the ball to Dixon on the right corner of the penalty area after a fine run by Hylton, but Dixon hit his shot high and wide.

Shildon had a couple of moments themselves with dangerous crosses and Sargent and Dan Brown did well to keep them at bay, but in truth neither side did enough in the first half to justify taking the lead.

10 minutes into the second half there was a sense of déjà vu for the home support as, for the third successive game, Carlton went behind to an early second half goal.  A crossfield ball saw Joe Posthill speed away down the left and his cross was diverted past Mikey Emery by the unfortunate Brown.

Eight minutes later the visitors doubled their advantage in controversial circumstances.  Hylton’s attack down the left was brought to a premature end by the arm of Aidan Heywood.  The referee took the view it was unavoidable and ignored Carlton appeals for a free kick.  Heywood took full advantage, speeding down the right and crossing for Billy Greulich-Smith to get in between Brown and Dean Freeman and steer home.

Harvey and Brookbanks brought on Wells and Aaron O’Connor to try and salvage something from the game and both made a positive impact.  Nevertheless, Shildon almost had a third when Posthill took the ball around Emery only for Brown to block.

Sargent continued to get around the pitch and Wells drew a save from Bond, his first of the game, after Freeman had flicked on a White throw.

With five minutes remaining Freeman headed an Alex Howes corner against the bar, and Hylton saw an effort blocked after some fine work by O’Connor.

A couple of minutes later Wells held off Alex white and slipped the ball to Tomlin whose low drive missed the post by inches.  And in added time Bond made an excellent save from a fierce 25-yard drive from Wells, before the referee ended proceedings.

Carlton never stopped trying but it was another disappointing afternoon for the home support.  The players came across to thank the home fans at the end, and as always it was much appreciated.

Carlton Town: M Emery, J White, L Durow (K Dixon 28), D Brown,  D Freeman, J Holmes (B Wells 66), N Hylton, K Sargent, T Blake (A O’Connor 66), K Tomlin, A Howes. Unused substitutes: R Stainsby, L Gorman

Goals: Dan Brown (og) 55, Billy Greulich-Smith 63

Weekend of action tackles ‘boy racer’ problem in Colwick and Netherfield

Gedling‘s Operation Reacher team has been out in force over the weekend tackling boy racers in Colwick and Netherfield.

The dedicated team spent the weekend stopping vehicles involved in ‘car cruising’ in the area – which has prompted complaints from residents.

The team confirmed that multiple vehicles were stopped during the weekend of action.

Police said they had been advised about their manner of driving and a few traffic offence reports have also been issued.

Gedling police teams committed to tackling the car cruising issue back in December.

They launched a dedicated operation, called ‘Operation Triplefin’ after concerns were raised about the problem, with a growing number of car meets at Colwick Industrial Estate and near Victoria Retail Park in Netherfield.

The Operation Triplefin team says will target those individuals to ‘educate as well as enforce to reduce this issue for the community’.

Gedling cops tackle underage drinking and anti-social behaviour ‘blighting’ parts of borough

Gedling police cracked down on underage drinking and antisocial behaviour blighting parts of the borough over the weekend.

Members of the Gedling North Neighbourhood Policing team have stopped youths aged under 16 caught drinking alcohol in Arnot Hill Park in Arnold.

Three teenagers were taken home by the officers and alcohol containers were seized as during the reassurance patrols. 

Officers were also out and about in Calverton, preventing antisocial behaviour by moving on groups hanging around shops as part of their positive crime prevention activity on Friday night (27).

Early intervention patrols were also carried out around Arnold and Mapperley Top in licensed premises.

Licensing checks were conducted, working with door staff and management, while officers maintained a visible presence in these areas. 

During this activity officers arrested a woman in Front Street, Arnold, for being drunk and disorderly. 

Saturday night saw officers on foot patrols again around Mapperley Top and Arnold, engaging with licenced premises and being ready to deal with any emerging issues, and also in hot-spot areas around Calverton and Arnold to deter antisocial behaviour. 

A man was arrested for being drunk and disorderly in the Front Street area of Arnold and officers also took action to break up a reported altercation in the street. No offences were disclosed. 

Neighbourhood policing sergeant for Gedling North Stu Howe said: “As our recent activity demonstrates, our officers work extremely hard every day to not only keep their communities safe, but also to positively engage with and support our residents and businesses.”

Retailers still not passing on fuel price drop to customers, says RAC

Retailers still not passing on fuel price drop to customers, says RAC

Retailers across the UK have been accused of exploiting drivers by failing to fully reflect recent falls in wholesale fuel prices at the pumps.

The RAC, who carried out the research, said diesel drivers were being the hardest hit.​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Over the nine-week period between mid-October and mid-December 2022, wholesale petrol costs fell by 23p per litre, but the average pump prices only decreased by 18p, following a peak of 166.54p at the end of October.

Supermarkets, which dominate fuel retailing in the UK, have been criticised for reducing their prices too slowly and not enough, with a 20p decrease over the same period. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The situation for diesel drivers was even worse, with wholesale prices dropping by 32p per litre over eight weeks, but average pump prices only fell by 20p per litre, peaking at 190.41p at the end of October. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Average supermarket diesel pump prices also decreased by 20p. ‌

The RAC data reveals that price reductions have come to a halt this week as wholesale prices have started to rise again, leading to a return of fair retailer margins. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

There are fears that retailers will increase their pump prices soon, despite there being no justification for doing so. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Retailers’ margins on petrol and diesel increased in 2022, with the average retailer margin on petrol at 13.5p per litre (supermarkets 10.8p), compared to 8.7p in 2021 (supermarkets 5.8p). ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The average diesel margin last year was 10.3p (supermarkets 7.5p), up from 8.8p in 2021 (supermarkets 6p). Before the pandemic in 2019, average retailer margins were just 6.5p for petrol and 6.9p for diesel. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams stated that “When wholesale prices increase, pump prices tend to rise very soon afterwards. Yet, when wholesale prices fall, it takes far longer for forecourt prices to come down.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Williams went on to criticise supermarkets for not passing on wholesale price reductions quickly enough, and for not reducing diesel prices far enough. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

He called for the government to focus on ensuring that retailers quickly pass on savings to drivers whenever there is a significant decrease in wholesale fuel prices. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The Competition and Markets Authority is currently investigating retail fuel pricing and has acknowledged the existence of ‘rocket and feather’ pricing. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The RAC has called for action to be taken for the benefit of consumers and businesses.

Gedling MP Tom Randall hits back as Extinction Rebellion hold satirical blue plaque unveiling about raw sewage

Protestors have unveiled a satirical blue plaque today (28) claiming Gedling MP Tom Randall “voted to block a law requiring water companies to dump less raw sewage into our waterways and seas 20 Oct ‘21”.

Local protestors from Extinction Rebellion put up the blue plaques by the River Trent in Stoke Bardolph in a spoof ceremony as part of a national day of action called Dirty Water to highlight the shocking state of our waterways. 

Arthur Williams, a lecturer from Carlton, and a member of Nottingham Extinction Rebellion said: “We’ve watched in horror as our rivers and seas have become open sewers since October 2021, when the government voted down a proposal to stop water companies pumping waste directly into our rivers.

“They justified this by claiming that the proposal was too expensive, despite the massive profits water companies have made over the years. These plaques shine a light on the government’s failure to protect our waterways, the natural world, and all of us.” 

“The government’s failure to properly tackle the issue of sewage pollution has been hugely controversial. Last summer over a hundred beaches were closed to the public after a series of sewage discharges by water companies left the sand and sea contaminated with human sewage.”

An Extinction Rebellion Nottingham spokesperson said: “Some MP’s are claiming that if we didn’t allow this to happen sewage would flood into people’s homes. This is simply fear-mongering to cover up the fact they’ve failed to pass laws saying that the water companies have a responsibility to their customers and the environment, not just pocketing profits from selling us water.”

Gedling MP Tom Randall today hit back telling Gedling Eye that blue plaques should be reserved for ‘commemorate historic events rather than fake news’.

He said: “Extinction Rebellion are ignoring the facts and are instead playing politics.

“The facts are that these: this Conservative Government has done more than any other Government to increase water quality. The storm overflow discharge reduction plan was introduced as part of the Environment Act and requires water companies to invest in infrastructure that will reduce the need for storm overflows. It was a Conservative Government that ramped up the monitoring of storm overflows – from 6% in 2013 to 90%, with 100% being monitored by the end of this year – that helps us better understand the issue and it is this Government that has increased funding for Environment Agency inspections. Fines from water companies are now ringfenced so that the money doesn’t go to the Treasury but stays with the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs for environmental projects. 

“I’ve seen the Liberal Democrats’ tweet about this subject. They’ve got more front than Brighton: Liberal Democrat and Labour MPs voted against the Environment Act, which, quite frankly, is a disgrace. They offer words but this Government is taking action. The Environment Act is now law and is helping to reduce the use of storm overflows.”

About 100 Dirty Water blue plaques will be unveiled across England on Saturday. 

Support wanted to help secure funds for Historic Gedling Station renovation project

Support wanted to help secure funds for Historic Gedling Station renovation project

A charity wanting to steam ahead with plans to renovate Gedling’s historic station building are hoping to win fresh funding to help pay for the project.

A planning application recently submitted revealed exciting new plans for the building on Shearing Hill.

They reveal the charity in charge of the project want to knock down the old gymnasium building, attached to the station, that was recently declared unsafe.

They want to then breathe life into the old station building by transforming it into a community hub. They also plan to generate revenue for the charity by creating commercial office space within the property.

To help pay for the project, the charity hopes to secure £250,000 from the Heritage Lottery Fund.

They have also launched a bid for £75,000 from a local Community Infrastructure Levy.

The Community Infrastructure Levy is a charge which can be levied by local authorities on new development in their area. It is an important tool for local authorities to use to help them deliver the infrastructure needed to support development in their area.

Gedling Borough Council introduced CIL in October 2015.

The levy can be used to fund a very broad range of facilities including, but not limited to play areas, open spaces, parks and green spaces, cultural and sports facilities. Local authorities must spend the levy on infrastructure needed to support the development of their area, and they will decide what infrastructure is needed.

The public can have their say on who is awarded funds from the Levy through a consultation, which is taking place now. Details can be found HERE

The charity managing the station project is Gedling Youth & Community Hub. It’s chairman is Francis Rodrigues.

He wanted to thank the community for their support so far.

Francis Rodrigues, said: “There was huge public support to save the former youth club and station from residential development and the three local groups coming together reflect that support.”

“I would now ask all our brilliant supporters & volunteers to support our CIL application by completing the comments section on the consultation.”

You can find the details about the renovation by viewing the planning application 2022/1359

Volunteers are always welcome to support the project. 

Further information and contact details can be found on https://www.gedlingyouth.co.uk/

The station has a long history…

Gedling station was originally built by the Great Northern Railway (GNR) and opened to goods traffic in 1874, passenger services began to use the station on 1 February 1876. 

On 4 April 1960 Gedling Station was closed to passenger traffic and in 1967 the former station site was converted into a youth club.

Investments from various sources saw the former sidings converted into an outside football pitch.

A large gymnasium was also constructed on the front side of the station, although the main fabric of the old building remained in place beneath it (and continues to do so today). 

The building operated successfully as a youth club for over 40 years and was finally closed in 2012, in large part due to the need for improvements in order to ensure that this historic building met modern health and safety standards.

The above is just a snippet of the history of Gedling Station to be found on www.gedlingyouth.co.uk.

Gedling Neighbourhood Policing Team gives update on ‘busy week’ in borough

Gedling police have reported a busy five days across parts of the borough this week.

The neighbourhood policing team have been out and about across the borough tackling issues affecting residents and businesses as part of a week of action highlighting how these local teams serve their community.

The focus comes as the Nottinghamshire Police has been supporting a national Neighbourhood Policing Week of Action, celebrating the vital work that neighbourhood officers, police community support officers and volunteers do all year round to protect the public and tackle issues that members of the public have said matter most to them.

Police attended Burton Joyce Primary School after concerns were raised about parking
Officers attended the Netherfield Retail Park throughout the day to prevent crime

This week the neighbourhood teams have taken positive action to address various concerns including problem parking, shop theft and antisocial behaviour, speeding and road safety and bicycle theft.

As part of the week of action, the Gedling south neighbourhood policing team has given us an overview of what they’ve been up to:

On Monday – Officers attended Burton Joyce Primary School following concerns of parked vehicles causing an obstruction in Padley Lane. Police engaged with parents, were on hand to give advice as well as acting as a deterrent.

Tuesday – Officers attended the Netherfield Retail Park throughout the day to prevent crime, reassure the public and provide crime prevention advice to shops as part of ongoing work to tackle issues.

Wednesday – A speeding operation was carried out in Nottingham Road, Burton Joyce. Residents gave positive feedback about the policing presence. No speeding tickets had to be issued during the proactive road safety operation.

Thursday – Officers attended the Netherfield Retail Park, armed with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) technology, with a view of deterring and identifying drivers who may be involved in criminality. This crime-fighting work included use of an Operation Reacher car – to help prevent crimes from happening in the first place. Two cars were seized during the operation, no-one was arrested. Members of the public were also engaged with and educated about the mobile ANPR technology and its use.

Friday – Preventing bicycle theft was a key theme of the day as officers attended the Richard Herrod Centre in Carlton to offer advice and engage with the public, giving out free bike locks and lights, supplied by Gedling Borough Council, to help improve cyclists’ safety and security.

Temporary Sergeant Dave Jennings said: “As a neighbourhood policing team we always strive to help people and make a positive difference in our communities. We want to make sure people feel safe and reassured and we will continue to work hard together to achieve those goals.”

Inspector Mark Stanley, District Commander for Gedling, added: “The week of action has provided just a snapshot of the neighbourhood policing work we do every day to keep the public safe, cut crime and improve people’s quality of life in areas affected by crime.

“Tackling a range of local issues is very much an ongoing challenge for us and this is something we are constantly working hard on all year-round to try and improve the situation and by working closely with our partners to support people and find solutions to problems.

“I’m pleased with the positive feedback we’ve received from members of the public, in recognition of our wider community-focused work, and I’d like to reassure them we will continue to do everything we can to keep them safe and combat criminality in the areas where they live.”

Flybe cancels all flights leaving passengers stranded as airline collapses

Regional airline Flybe has ceased trading for a second time, with all flights cancelled and passengers left stranded.

The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) announced the company had gone into administration and told those with booked Flybe flights not to travel to airports.

Passengers were emailed overnight and told not to turn up for check-in.

CAA consumer director Paul Smith said: “It is always sad to see an airline enter administration and we know that Flybe’s decision to stop trading will be distressing for all of its employees and customers.

“We urge passengers planning to fly with this airline not to go to the airport as all Flybe flights are cancelled. For the latest advice, Flybe customers should visit the Civil Aviation Authority’s website or our Twitter feed for more information.”

The airline confirmed the “sad” move on their Twitter feed, and confirmed that administrators had been brought in.

“We are sad to announce that Flybe has been placed into administration,” they tweeted.

“David Pike and Mike Pink of Interpath have been appointed administrators. Flybe has now ceased trading. All Flybe flights from and to the UK are cancelled and will not be rescheduled.”

Flybe had returned to the skies in April following an earlier collapse.
