Police make arrest after money is stolen from pensioner’s home in Mapperley Park

Police had made an arrest after money was stolen from a pensioner’s home in Mapperley Park.

A 33-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of burglary following the incident in on St Andrew’s Road..

Police-notepad

Officers were called to a property on St Andrew’s Road just after 1.45pm yesterday (August 11) after it was reported that someone had walked into an elderly woman’s house and stole money.

Inspector Mark Stanley said: “Criminals often target the most vulnerable people in our communities and this is absolutely unacceptable.

“We do everything we can to protect people and to take action against those who look to profit by exploiting others.”

Gedling borough residents could spend £22 million a year on face masks

The use of disposable face masks could cost Gedling borough residents more than £22 million, research has revealed.

With face masks now compulsory in an expanded list of indoor settings, experts are becoming concerned about the environmental impact of disposable plastic face masks.

Research from scientists at UCL revealed that if every person in Gedling borough wore a disposable mask each day for a year, collectively it would cost £22,376,661 and generate 118 tonnes of plastic waste.

The use of disposable masks could prove costly

Further research by money.co.uk revealed how much residents in the borough could save by going plastic-free.

The research showed that each resident could save £185.80 by switching to a reusable mask and also create an eco-saving of 1kg of plastic each year.

Nationwide, if every person in the UK used one single-use mask each day for a year, that would create 66,000 tonnes of contaminated plastic waste, UCL researchers believe.

It would also cost Brits more than £12bn in just 12 months.

Police call on public for help in locating Joseph Chattaway after Mapperley assault

Detectives searching for a man wanted in connection with a serious assault in Mapperley said today they are ‘working tirelessly to locate him’.

Officers from multiple departments in Nottinghamshire Police launched a combined tactical effort to locate Joseph Chattaway after a man and a woman were seriously injured in an incident in Pilkington Road on Wednesday, August 5.

It is understood the couple could be Chattaway’s parents.

The man remains in a critical condition in hospital, the woman received treatment for serious injuries and has since been discharged.

Detective Inspector Pamela Dowson, who is part of the team overseeing the investigation into the incident, said: “Officers were called to the report of a domestic assault at around 2pm after a man and a woman were believed to have been attacked with blunt instrument.

“When police arrived at the scene, 25-year-old Joseph Chattaway had fled the area and officers are now working to find him in order to question him in connection with the assault.

“Joseph is described as being around 6ft 4ins tall, with a short beard and short dark hair. He is of medium build and is thought to have been wearing a black long-sleeved top and black trousers at the time of the incident.

PICTURED: Joseph Chattaway

“A hammer was also recovered at the scene.

“From that point, a large scale operation to locate Chattaway began, with the police helicopter, foot searches and drone support all used to try and find where he may have gone.

“We are working with other forces and have circulated his picture and description of him so that officers across the region are aware of who he is.”

It is thought that Chattaway has no phone on him, no credit cards or any money and he is not believed to have a driving licence.

Det Insp Dowson added: “We are doing everything we can to locate Chattaway. We recognise the concerns of the local community and understand why they may be worried.

“We have responded by upping patrols in the area and I would remind anyone who has any concerns to report them to the police either by speaking with an officer or calling 101.

Pictured: Joseph Chattaway

“Further to this, we are thankful to anyone who has submitted information on sightings of Chattaway. Unfortunately, when we have explored these lines of enquiry, we have not found him.

“Please continue to report any possible sightings of Joseph to police on 999 as soon as you see him.

“The public’s support is vital in our search for him – any information you have, no matter how insignificant you think it may be, could play a vital role in helping officers locate Chattaway.”

Joseph’s family has shared a new photo with Nottinghamshire Police to help locate him and have asked for privacy during this difficult time.

Brave Mapperley woman cuts her locks for MND charity

A salon in Arnold has heaped praise on a young woman who took the brave step of getting her locks cut to raise over £1,000 for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association.

20-year-old Aiesha Haque, from Mapperley, had 15 inches cut off her hair to show support for her uncle Dave who is suffering from the devastating disease.

She visited the KH Hair salon in Arnold who carried out the radical haircut free of charge.

Aiesha said: “MND is such a cruel disease and I have seen the affect it has had on my uncle and his beautiful  family. ” she explains. “He is the most bubbly, kind-hearted person I know; a wonderful father to two young girls and I love him very much. I wanted to cut my hair in support of him and his fight and in the hope that, one day, a cure will be found.

“I was really nervous and emotional on the day but the gang at KH Hair really looked after me.  They were super-friendly and made feel very special. I’m so happy I had it cut. I’m loving my new look and it has certainly saved me a lot of time in the mornings!”  

Aiesha’s hair is all tied up and ready to be handed over to charity

Aiesha , who is working towards a degree in Politics and International Relations, said, although her uncle has lost the ability to speak, he has been texting messages of support and was blown away when she Face Timed him to show off her new look.

“He kept messaging me to say thank you and when he saw it, I could tell he was very happy.” She adds.

Kind Aiesha has donated her hair to the Little Princess Trust, the charity which provides real hair wigs free of charge to children and young people who have lost their own hair due to cancer treatment and other conditions. Mum, Mumtaz, who witnessed the chop, is understandably super proud of her daughter. “It was especially brave of her to go so short when the trend for young women is to have long hair and extensions.” she explains. ” She’s never been afraid of stepping out of the norm.  Well done Aiesha!”

KH Hair salon director, Dawn Bramhall, says: “What a transformation! Aiesha looks absolutely beautiful and seems to be very happy with her new cut. Her thoughtfulness and bravery will go a long way to helping two very worthy causes and we were very happy  to help.”

Aiesha has so far raised over £1,000 for the MND Association. Anyone wishing to donate can do so via her s Go Fund Me page: https://www.gofundme.com/f/raising-money-for-mnd-charity?

Gedling leader issues warning after fraudsters target borough residents with council tax scam

Gedling borough residents have been warned after reports that fraudsters have been targeting people with a council tax phone scam. 

People living in the borough have reported receiving a phone call purporting to be from Gedling Borough Council claiming they were due a council tax rebate. 

The fraudsters then attempt to get bank details from the victim, saying the information is needed to pay the rebate.

Following increasing reports, the leader of Gedling Borough Council, Cllr John Clarke, issued a warning to residents.

He said: “We’ve been made aware of a council tax phone scam taking place, including recently in the Daybrook area.

“We’re asking residents to take care if anyone contacts you to discuss your council tax, especially if they are offering a substantial refund and asking for bank details.

“Our officers may occasionally contact residents directly to discuss their accounts and offer refunds, but if you have any doubt who you are speaking to, take their name and call our switchboard number 0115 901 3901 and speak to our council tax department.”

Over-75s in Gedling borough warned about TV Licence fraud as con artists target pensioners with bogus emails

Over-75s in Gedling borough warned about TV Licence fraud as con artists target pensioners with bogus emails

Pensioners in Gedling borough awaiting a letter from TV Licensing after the BBC cancelled the over-75s scheme are being duped by scam emails, it has been revealed.

Con artists pretending to be TV licensing officers have been targeting OAPs on email and falsely claiming they need to set up new direct debit agreements.

Fraudsters have contacted pensioners in the area by email – just a few days after the Government announced a new review that could see anyone who refuses to pay their TV licence facing visits from bailiffs.

An Action Fraud spokesman said: “TV licensing will never ask you to reply to an email and provide bank details or personal information.

TV-Licence

“Just because someone knows your basic details – such as your name and address or even your mother’s maiden name – it doesn’t mean they are genuine.

“Criminals can exploit the names of well-known companies in order to make their scams appear genuine.”

“TV Licensing have also been clear that they will not come to your doorstep to collect the licence fee if you are over 75, so anyone who claims to do so is also a scammer.

If you’re unsure about anything, you can call TV Licensing on 0300 303 9695 to speak with someone who can help.

One pensioner from Carlton, who didn’t wish to be named, contacted Gedling Eye after receiving an email asking for payment details.

He said: ” I nearly got caught out but luckily my daughter asked me to check the official details on the TV Licensing website and they didn’t match so I deleted the email.

“It looked real so people need to be careful.”

COVID-19 safety measures put in place at Gedling borough gyms are celebrated in new Government video

Changes put into place to ensure gym-goers across Gedling borough remain safe during their fitness routines have been celebrated in a new local government video.

The video has been created by HM Government Midlands to show what changes people can expect to see when returning to gyms after lockdown. – and Gedling Leisure teams were selected to show people across the region what will be different.

Gym teams carried out a walkthrough of the changes, which has been shared on the local government’s social media channels.

These are the changes…

There will be reduced capacity and pre-booking.

Users will need to pre-book a time slot for a gym session, a swim or exercise class and only visit within that timeslot. People are also being advised to arrive and queue 10 minutes before your allocated time. If you arrive more than five minutes late for your session you may not be allowed to participate. All sessions must be booked and paid for in advance.

Those using a gym are being told to arrive dressed ready to work out as lockers and changing rooms are out of use.

Gym equipment has been spread out with clearly marked areas, to allow at least 2 metres from you and another customer.  Some machines will be marked as out of use and there is a one way system in the gym spaces, to help everyone to keep their distances.

All classes also have floor markings to ensure people have at least 2 metres between them and the next person.

Parents in Gedling borough urged to apply for secondary school places for their children

Parents of children in Gedling borough who are due to start at secondary school in September 2021 can now apply for their preferred choice.

If your child is due to start secondary school next year you can apply from now until the closing date of Saturday, October 31 2020.

Councillor Philip Owen, Chairman for Children and Young People’s Services, said: “it might feel like a long way off but if your child is about to start in year 6 then it’s time to apply for a secondary school place for next year.  

“We know that starting a new school is a big milestone and your child may already have strong ideas about which secondary school they want – or don’t want – to attend.

secondary-school-pupils

“It is very important that you apply on time and you should identify four preferences.  The good news is that, last year, nearly 97% of families who applied for a secondary school place on time were offered one of their preferred schools.

If you apply late or only list one preference you may substantially reduce the chances of getting your child into your preferred school.”

Gedling borough residents need to apply to Nottinghamshire County Council even though their preferred schools are in Gedling borough.

The easiest way to apply is online at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/schooladmissions. Parents who apply online will receive email confirmation that their application has been received.

For more information about the application process, schools, the number of places available or how places are allocated, please visit the website at www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/admissions or call 0300 500 80 80.
