Cost of dealing with flytipping puts future of Haunted Museum in Mapperley at risk

Cost of dealing with flytipping puts future of Haunted Museum in Mapperley at risk

The future of one of the area’s most popular tourist attractions is under threat after being plagued with illegally dumped rubbish behind its premises.

Fly-tippers have been targeting The Haunted Museum in Mapperley, with piles of rubbish being dumped in the car park of the property on a regular basis – and the owners now say it’s getting too expensive to remove.

The rubbish first started appearing during the first lockdown in 2020.

A few of the fly-tippers have been caught in the act and fined, but the site remains a target.

Owner Steve Wesson said: “The longer the rubbish stays there, the more that seems to turn up, and being a tourist attraction, it doesn’t make us look good to have a car park full of old mattresses and other rubbish.

The Haunted Museum on Woodborough Road in Mapperley

Mr Weston estimates the venue has spent around £8,000 on trying to clear the mess so far.

“We’ve spent so much money trying to shift it, but we can’t afford to keep doing it now, it’s just getting out of control.” 

‘Tough year’

During the first lockdown, The Haunted Museum offered livestreams covering the most haunted parts of the venue, but were forced to stop in the second lockdown due to the costs. 

Mr Wesson added: “It’s been a tough year, there’s been no real difference in maintenance costs between being shut and open, we’ve had electrical problems and leaks as well. 

“Despite these challenges, we have managed to add new displays and a haunted house inside the auditorium, so we’ve gotten a lot better over the last year.” 

The Haunted Museum, in line with government lockdown rules being relaxed, is expecting to re-open its doors on May 17.

Gedling MP Tom Randall outlines reasons why he’ll be backing Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

Gedling MP Tom Randall outlines reasons why he’ll be backing Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

Gedling MP Tom Randall has said he will vote for a new bill that includes a crackdown on “disruptive” protests, which is going through Parliament tonight.

The controversial Police, Courts, Sentencing and Crimes Bill will boost police powers, allowing them to tackle “so-called static protests” such as the Extinction Rebellion protests that brought parts of Nottingham to a standstill, by “imposing start and finish times” and “maximum noise limits”.

The government says the proposed legislation will allow the police to take a “more proactive approach” to managing “highly disruptive” protests that are deemed to cause a public disturbance.

The 307-page bill also gives officers more powers for tackling unauthorised encampments which interfere with the ability to use the land.

Stop and search powers could also be boosted if plans for serious violence reduction orders get the go ahead. This would mean it would be easier for police to carry out checks on individuals who have been convicted of carrying a knife before.

But critics fear it could be used to curtail the rights of people to protest.

Houses of Parliament
The new Bill is being debated in Parliament

Labour has said it will vote against the bill at its second reading.

Although they support several measures in the bill, Labour argue it will impose disproportionate controls on free expression and the right to protest.

Mr Randall today posted a video outlining his reasons for backing the new bill.

He said: “I will be bill that ensures stronger sentences for child murders, rapists, violent offenders, dangerous drivers, child abusers, burglars, drug dealers, knife carriers and those who desecrate our memorials.

“I know that unauthorised encampments can cause a great deal of stress and inconvenience, as I saw in Colwick a little while ago, as well as disruption and damage. This Bill will give the police the power to seize vehicles and arrest or fine trespassers who attempt to reside on private and public land without permission.

“The Labour Party will be voting against those stronger sentences. It will also be voting against increased sentences for those who assault our emergency service workers.This Conservative Government is working to keep our communities safe by reforming our justice system so that everyone can live their lives free from the fear of crime.”

Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer yesterday defended his decision to ask party members to vote agains the bill.

He said: “It says lots of things about statues and almost nothing about protecting women and girls, and particularly dealing with violence against women and girls.

“This is a crime, police, sentencing and court bill, it should be the vehicle for addressing it. And there is nothing meaningful in it.”

Blooming marvellous: Plans for new community orchard at Gedling Country Park take root

A new community orchard is being created in Gedling Country Park.

Gedling Borough Council has begun planting a number of fruit and blossom trees as part of ongoing works to improve the destination country park.

Over 20 native trees have been planted, including apple trees, heritage pear trees, damson trees and cherry trees. All of the trees originate from the Nottingham area. 

The new orchard will also play a vital part in supporting local wildlife due to the produce created from the trees. The tree planting is also part of the council’s pledge to plant 500 new trees, which has already been exceeded, as they have now planted 1,050 trees and more are planned over the next year.

The orchard is situated near the Spring Lane entrance to the park, near the Butterfly Walk and Bee gardens. 

Gedling Borough Council recently announced plans to expand Gedling Country Park and create a new ‘Green Lung’ with nearby Mapperley Plains and Digby Park.

The park has recently had a number of other improvements including two new viewing platforms on the north and south side of the park and a new seating area near the café.

The park has had an unprecedented number of visitors during lockdown and has provided many residents with a place to exercise and enjoy some outdoors while following the guidelines.

Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke said “What a symbol of progress this is by planting these fruit and cherry trees. This former colliery was dug up and used for coal and now we’re planting trees that will bear fruit, it’s a fantastic turnaround for the place and we’re delighted to be creating this orchard for people to enjoy.

“We made a pledge to do more to plant more trees and this orchard will be another spot in the park where people can come and sit down and enjoy a picnic with friends and take in the stunning views of the park. We’ve planted over 1,000 trees in the borough and last week we announced the new Green Lung to make this park even bigger and so that more people can enjoy this great asset on their doorstep.”

Plans to build 157 new homes on agricultural land in Arnold submitted

Plans to build 157 new homes on agricultural land in Arnold have been submitted to Gedling Borough Council.

The proposals have been submitted by Barwood Homes Ltd, who are based in Northamptonshire, and ask for permission to build the new dwellings and also create a public open space and appropriate landscaping on the land next to the A60 in Redhill.

PICTURED: The plans for new homes on land near the A60 in Redhill

The land is currently in use for agricultural purposes.

The site will consist of a mix of private housing, low-cost homes and social houses.

Plans for the land were originally discussed with the council back in 2019 but they were critical of the proposals. In the recent application, the developers said that these concerns have now been addressed. They wrote: “The officer was critical of aspects of the layout, housing mix and density. We have sought to address these matters in the resubmission by introducing more variety to the mix and reducing the overall quantum of houses proposed.”

The plans have now been submitted to the council and will be presented to the Planning Committee for approval.

Universal Credit tool will let people in Gedling borough know if they are entitled to benefits ‘in minutes’

Universal Credit tool will let people in Gedling borough know if they are entitled to benefits ‘in minutes’

People in Gedling borough struggling financially can now find out what benefits they could be entitled to with a new online tool – and it only takes a few minutes.

The online ‘benefits checker’ has been launched by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and is designed to help people understand what benefits and support packages they can claim.

The DWP believe thousands of people are entitled to benefits cash but haven’t been claiming it because they don’t realise they’re eligible.

To use the checker, you only need to know your current income and how much you have in savings, if any.

You’ll also be asked to share details of any benefits or pensions you already receive, and information on what your outgoings are, such as rent and childcare payments.

Phone_stock
You can use the online benefits checker to learn what cash you may be entitled to.

You’ll also be asked to show a recent council tax bill.

Just completing the steps on the checker tool does not make you eligible for benefits, but it could help you find out if are eligible for cash and how much you could get, if you were to apply.

It could also give you information and advice on what financial support is available to you.

Will Quince, minister for welfare delivery said: “In a matter of moments, you can find out if you may be eligible for Universal Credit.

“If you are, you could also receive additional benefits, such as half-price travel and childcare payments.

“If you think you’re eligible to claim, please do check, so you can see what support you may be able to access.”

Man admits to carrying out ‘horrifying’ hammer attack

Man admits to carrying out ‘horrifying’ hammer attack

A man has admitted to carrying out a ‘horrifying’ hammer attack in his Mapperley home that sent “shockwaves” through the local community.

Joseph Chattaway, 25, repeatedly struck a man and a woman to their heads using a hammer, causing life-threatening injuries to the man.

Seven months on, the man remains in hospital for treatment. The woman was discharged in August 2020.

When officers arrived at the scene of the incident in Pilkington Road at around 2pm on Wednesday 5 August 2020, Chattaway fled the area and a large scale police operation was launched to locate him.

Chattaway evaded capture for more than a week.

A number of different tactics were utilised to locate him, with multiple area searches in Nottinghamshire using the force helicopter, drones and officers on the ground.

On August 14, 2020, Chattaway was arrested 60 miles away in Staffordshire.  

He pleaded guilty to two counts of wounding with intent at Nottingham Crown Court yesterday (Monday, March 15) and has been remanded into custody ahead of his sentencing on June 7, 2021.

Detective Inspector Pamela Dowson, of Nottinghamshire Police, said: “This was a serious domestic incident that had a devastating impact on the victims and the local community.

“Not only was this an incredibly violent assault, it also happened in during the daytime and at some point continued in the street. The shock of this incident was felt throughout the area whilst Chattaway remained at large.

“A huge effort from multiple departments across the force was undertaken to locate Chattaway and I’d like to thank those involved and our colleagues in Staffordshire Police who eventually arrested him.

“I would also like to thank the investigation team who worked tirelessly on this case, and ask that the privacy of the victims is respected.”

Booking website for Covid vaccinations stops taking new appointments for people in over-40s category

An apology has now been issued after a message saying that those aged 40 and over could get a Covid-19 jab ’caused confusion’.

The Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) had announced that people from across the borough in that age group could book an appointment for their first Covid-19 jab.

The message stated that bookings could be made by phone or online.

But by lunchtime, the Swiftqueue booking site said it was “no longer offering” the vaccine to anyone under 50.

The CGC has apologised “for the confusion”.

Some in this age group were able to book when logging on to the site this morning, but many trying later could not.

Tracy Palmer, from Arnold, was one of the over-40s residents who missed out.

She said she had not been able to book online after seeing the news story on Gedling Eye earlier today.

“It’s very frustrating,” she said.

“I was really looking forward to getting my jab and feeling that little bit safer.”

Gedling MP Tom Randall posted on his Facebook page that appointments had been suspended dur to ‘high demand’.

He wrote: “It was announced earlier today that people aged 40 and over could begin to book their COVID-19 vaccination appointment. Due to high demand, the Clinical Commissioning Group have now amended this to the over 50s to ensure sufficient vaccine availability.

“Anyone who is over 40 and has booked an appointment will have their appointment honoured.”

On its website, Swiftqueue said: “Nottingham clinics are no longer offering Covid vaccinations to patients aged 40+”

“We know the public has been waiting patiently for their turn to be vaccinated and now we are able to open up the programme further to include all those aged 40 and over. We are vaccinating huge numbers of people and over the comings week we will see more younger people in our communities receiving the vaccine. It’s a significant milestone for the programme.  

“The staff and volunteers at our vaccination sites are working extremely hard to vaccinate our population at great pace and I would like to thank them for their continued hard work as we move into this next stage of the programme, which also includes administering second doses.

“Anyone who is eligible can book in for their vaccination via the local booking site or by calling 0115 883 4640. I would urge anyone in this category to take up vaccination to help protect themselves against Covid-19.
