Gedling borough’s latest petrol and diesel prices – and where’s the cheapest to fill up

The website combines price data from Catalist with its own crowdsource data, which comes from website users and forecourt owners. The site says it hopes to have “the most up to date and reliable price data across the industry”.

Arnold Market traders to remain in Eagle Square until end of the year

There are plans for the relocated Arnold Market to stay in Eagle Square until the end of the year.

Traders were moved to the square from their original town centre location after 50 years there while the works were carried out on the AMP development, which opened last year.

Gedling Borough Council now plans for the traders to stay at the Eagle Square location, subject to a consultation.

Councillors are being asked to approve plans for the market to remain there until the end of December 2023.

The extension will be discussed at the Environment and Licensing Committee on January 10.

Arnold Market is made up of 14 stalls trading on Tuesdays, Fridays and
Saturdays selling products including fruit and veg, fashion and butchery.

The new AMP development is home to a wine tasting experience outlet, a cat and dog accessory and treats store, a cake shop and a delicatessen – as well as the relocated Post Office.

The opening of the new market faced delays which were put down to the pandemic before it officially opened in October 2022.

Council documents stated: “As Members will be aware there has been a complete restructuring of the Arnold Market area with the construction of the AMP.

“During the construction of the AMP the Arnold Market traders were relocated to the Eagle Square area which has been operating under an existing Street Trading Consent granted by this Committee which expires at the end of
January 2023.

“The Council are currently undertaking a consultation with a view to the permanent relocation of the market to Eagle Square.

“This proposal will provide continuity to the traders and allow for the continued positive impact of the market economically and socially on the primary shopping area and on the town itself.”

The council said that Eagle Square is the “only viable option for the market to continue to operate while the consultation for permanent relocation is undertaken”.

MATCH REPORT: Gedling Miners Welfare FC 0 – 7 Nottingham Forest U23

Nottinghamshire Senior Cup Quarter Final

January 3, 2023

It took only 2 minutes for the visitors to craft their first chance, Oli Hammond who has featured for the first team this season was denied from 8 yards by Louis Richardson 

The Miners who were playing their first game in 3 weeks almost took the lead, a in swinging Kieran Harrison free kick caused havoc in the Forest box before the ball was cleared off the line and to safety.  

On 26 minutes the academy took the lead Billy Fewster latched onto a loose ball in the middle of the park before hitting a sweet strike from 20 yards that found the top right corner.  

On 35 minutes Forest extended their lead, a ball over the top caught the Gedling backline out and Esapa Osong went 1v1 with Richardson before slotting the ball into the bottom right corner and the academy went into the break leading 0-2 

Gedling came out for the 2nd half fighting and on 51 minutes the hosts tested the Forest shot stopper for the first time, Jack Jepson and Tyrell Shannon-Lewis combined well down the left before Jepson burst into the area but his effort from a tight angle was tipped over the bar.  

But 4 minutes later the reds extended their lead, Shannon-Lewis lost possession and Osong slipped in Hammond who had a 4v1 and he gave it back to Osong to slot in from 6 yards.  

Forest were really turning the screw and on 72 minutes Hammond had his goal, he found some space in the area but he hit a left footed effort from inside the d which found the top left corner leaving Richardson no chance in the hosts goal.  

Just 2 minutes later Osong had his hat-trick, he beat the offside trap again before smashing the ball past Richardson from 10 yards to extend the visitors lead.  

On 82 minutes the hosts night got worse, Harrison was shown a straight red card for dissent after he felt like he was fouled in a passage of play.  

On 84 minutes Forest added a sixth and it was the pick of the bunch, Fewster ran onto a lay off Hammond and his effort from 25 yards nestled in the top left corner for his 2nd of the night.  

The scoring was complete in the 89th minute as substitute Lewis Salmon flicked in a cross from Alex Gibbs-Hammond as the hosts failed to clear and the visitors progressed to the semi-final of the Notts Senior Cup. 

Attendance – 310

Gedling Crematorium can ensure your loved one is EverWith you

Bereaved families in the communities surrounding Gedling Crematorium can now carry a little piece of their loved one with them at all times, thanks to personal jewellery keepsakes.

The crematorium has formed a new partnership with EverWith, who designs and manufactures memorial jewellery which incorporates the ashes of a loved one.

Some people can find extra comfort in keeping something of their loved one close to them, which traditionally involved keeping their photo in a wallet or inside a necklace pendant.

Thanks to the innovation in technology, Gedling Crematorium can now offer local people the chance to order beautiful pieces of personal jewellery containing some of their loved one’s ashes or a glass-like stone made from the ashes.

Gedling Crematorium site manager Giulia McDonough said: “We are very pleased to be working with one of the UK’s largest memorial jewellery companies. A big part of grieving is finding a way to honour and keep their loved one with them.

“Creating a piece of jewellery with their ashes, whether it is a ring, bracelet, earrings, charm bead or cufflinks, will provide them with a personal keepsake to forever cherish.

“Anyone with the ashes of their loved one, even if their service did not take place in our crematorium, can still contact us to learn more about how their ashes can be used to create a beautiful and unique piece of jewellery.”

Jonathan Burton, Director of EverWith Memorial Jewellery, said: “My team and I are delighted that Gedling Crematorium has recognised us for our beautiful memorial jewellery and also our growing status within the UK funeral industry. “

£49m Gedling Access Road to close overnight for repairs

A stretch of the new £49m Gedling Access Road is to be repaired during a night-time road closure.

The work will take place overnight starting at 7pm on Wednesday, January 11 with the road closure in place until 5am on Thursday, January 12.

The road will be closed near the old Lambley Lane junction – between two new Lambley Lane junctions.

Pothole

The work is taking place after a pothole appeared on the £49m Gedling Access Road just nine months after the flagship road opened to motorists.

A picture taken by the BBC’s Local Democracy Reporting Service last month showed a hole measuring about 10 centimetres wide just after the second roundabout when travelling southeast.

Nottinghamshire County Council said some damage has been caused to the road by “badly-fitted farm machinery”.

Costs to repair the hole will be met through a warranty agreement with contractor Balfour Beatty.

Speaking after the pothole was found, the authority said the road has since been “made safe”.

Carlton le Willows Academy to install CCTV cameras in pupils’ toilets after ‘inappropriate use’

Carlton le Willows Academy to install CCTV cameras in pupils’ toilets after ‘inappropriate use’

Carlton le Willows Academy has announced plans to install CCTV cameras in its school toilets after “inappropriate” use and vandalism by pupils.

The school has now written to parents to explain why they have taken the decision to put in the cameras, which look over the top of toilet cubicles and onto the wash basins.

In a letter to parents, acting headteacher Rod Bond-Taylor said pupils deserve to have toilets free from damage and disruption.

In his letter to parents, he wrote:

“Having completed a number of student voice tasks, both prior to and as part of our most recent Ofsted inspection, and also through day-to-day learning walks and running of the Academy, it is clear that the single sex toilet spaces are not being used appropriately by some of our students.

“The inappropriate use of these spaces and significant damage caused has led to a significant minority of students unwilling to use the toilets during the school day. This cannot continue.

Carlton le Willows School
The decision has been taken to help safeguard pupils at Carlton le Willows Academy

“To address the situation we are installing CCTV cameras in each of the single sex toilet spaces. These cameras will be strategically located so they look along the line of cubicles, along the top of the cubicles and along the line of sinks. They will not focus inside toilet cubicles when doors are shut or into the urinals in the boys’ toilets.

“These cameras, to be installed in January, will improve how we safeguard our students, reduce damage and vandalism and therefore make students feel more comfortable to use the facilities. They will also act as a deterrent to the minority of students whose behaviour and use of these spaces is unacceptable. They will be a temporary measure until the end of the academic year giving us time to achieve our longer-term goal, which is the repurposing and refurnishing of the existing single sex spaces into self-contained unisex toilets.”

One parent, who wished to remain anonymous, contacted Gedling Eye after receiving the letter.

They said they were concerned about the cameras, and questioned if they could be installed just outside the toilets instead.

“I’m very uncomfortable about it. I understand there has been vandalism in the school toilets, but it would be advisable to place the CCTV cameras in the corridor outside the toilets,” they said.

Another parent told us they agreed with the idea.

“You can’t see into the cubicles and the security is needed. If it stops bullying and damage being caused then I don’t see a problem.”

New landlord lays out ambitious plans for well-loved Carlton pub Inn For A Penny

The new landlord of one of Carlton‘s most well-loved pubs has big plans ahead for its future – with a focus on food and live sports.

Local lad Jamie Huckerby will become the new landlord of Inn for A Penny on Friday (6).

He takes over from previous landlady Sophie Shepherd, who took on the Burton Road boozer back in 2020.

Jamie has been working at Carlton Town FC for the last eight years, running the bar, catering operation and also managing the facilities.

The Green King pub is currently managed by Venture Inns, who will step back from running the pub in April – and Jamie hopes to take the lease over from Green King at that stage.

The brewery are have plans to refurbish the pub and kitchen facilities as well as the living quarters in April.

Jamie, a passionate Nottingham Forest fan, says he will keep the well-liked weekend entertainment discos, karaoke and quiz nights running and told Gedling Eye that he will also focus on showing live sports.

Food will also be on the menu at the Penny in the near future, he says.

He also said that existing contracted staff jobs at the pub ‘are safe’.

Mr Huckerby said: “I feel the time is right for me to move into pub management and I’m looking forward to seeing all the locals and new customers in the Penny from Friday supporting their ‘local pub’.
