Thomas Cook stores in Arnold and Mapperley have been snapped up by rival firm Hays following the travel giant’s collapse last month.
The stores are among 555 which have been purchased by Hays Travel from the Official Receiver which was called in when Thomas Cook folded back in September.

Hays say they have already recruited 421 former Thomas Cook staff and this latest deal is expected to save thousands more jobs.
The move is a significant step for Hays, which currently has 190 shops around the UK.
The Official Receiver described the sale to the BBC as an “important step” of the 178-year-old chain’s future.
The school was found to be ‘Good’ in all areas following the visit last month – a huge boost after a ‘requires improvement’ rating was received back in 2015.
The inspectors’ report described the school as ‘an ambitious, thriving family, where everybody works hard and pupils are well prepared for the future’.
The inspectors also were full of praise for the school’s focus on reading and its well-stocked library; a point of particular interest in Ofsted’s new framework for school inspections.

The Teaching and support staff at Killisick Junior School are described as a ‘harmonious team’, with effective safeguarding, and said that special education needs (SEN) children are flourishing at the school.
It added that children displayed a keen understanding of democracy and ‘know that following the rule of law is part of being a good citizen in modern Britain.’
The Head teacher at Killisick Junior School is Lindsay Clark, credited by the report for improving communication with families, and with several parents telling inspectors that, ‘The school is very welcoming to parents and children.’
She said: “We are all extremely proud to announce that Killisick Junior School has been officially rated as a ‘Good’ school in its Ofsted inspection. I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all the staff, parents and carers, governors and the Flying High Trust for all their hard work and support in turning our school around”.
CEO of The Flying High Trust, Chris Wheatley said he welcomed the report. “We are so pleased that Ofsted has judged Killisick Junior School Good in all areas, and that the report has recognised that the school is such a positive and welcoming environment for children and families.
“ The Killisick community can be assured that the education of their children is in safe hands and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for this thriving school.”
It’s been a busy few weeks and as ever I’ve got a few
updates to pass on.
Team boost
First up is staffing and I’m pleased to report that PC 2358 Mark Szeremeta has joined the Gedling Neighbourhood team as an additional officer. Mark will be based at Carlton and is a welcome addition to the team. I’m hopeful that Mark is the first of a number of officers that will join the team over the coming months.
Firearms incident
I wanted to provide an update regarding the firearms incident
on Flatts Lane, Calverton back in March this year. The case was heard at
Nottingham Crown Court for sentencing on September 26. Ross Hedley (18 years)
of Arnold was sentenced to 21 months in prison. A 15-year-old male received a
youth detention and training order which will consist of six months in prison.
Finally, a 17-year-old male received a community sentence which will consist of
a three-month curfew and 40 hours community work. This is a pleasing result
given the severity of the incident and I hope that this will provide some
reassurance that we are doing everything we can to deal with violence.
Sceptre searches
Last month the force supported the national knife crime week
of action known as ‘Operation Sceptre’. The Gedling neighbourhood team and colleagues
from across the force were involved in a number of proactive activities to try
and prevent knife crime. Officers conducted ‘open space’ searches along with
colleagues from Gedling Borough Council. This allows us to search areas of the
community where individuals may choose to hide weapons such as knives. Officers
have searched a number of locations across the Gedling Borough and during
Operation Sceptre we carried out a search of Standhill Park, Carlton. The team
used metal detectors to assist them and I’m pleased to report that no weapons
were found.
PICTURED: Inspector Chris Pearson (IMAGE: Notts Police)
During the week of action we were also joined by the force knife
crime team who carried out a number of stop/searches in the Gedling Borough. This
resulted in a number of people being dealt with for drugs offences but
positively no weapons were found.
We also visited a number of schools across the Gedling Borough to provide an educational input around knife crime which was well received by our local schools. The force also carried out another knife amnesty and with the support of Gedling Borough Council a bin was placed in the Civic Centre at Arnot Hill Park. A number of unwanted knives were handed in and will now be destroyed.
Over the coming weeks and months we will continue to carry out
additional patrols around knife crime and violence. A number of additional officers
have been on patrol across Gedling working in areas identified as hotspots for
violent incidents or knife crime. This will also focus on engaging with public
houses to reduce any alcohol related disorder.
Police priorities
I wanted to touch on our Gedling policing priorities which throughout September continued to be burglary, autocrime, violence and anti-social behaviour. The priorities will be refreshed for October and details will be published on the force website under ‘Gedling Priorities’.
Throughout September we have seen a slight decrease in overall
reported burglary compared to August this year with five less offences. However
year to date burglary continues to be an issue, particularly in the Gedling
North area and in the last month we have seen offences in Arnold, Ravenshead,
Papplewick and Newstead. The offenders have mostly gained entry to properties
by damaging windows or doors and have targeted properties whilst the occupants
have been away on holiday. I would continue to ask that any suspicious
incidents are reported to us as this may prevent further offences from taking
place. If you are planning on leaving your home unoccupied and need advice on
security then please contact us.
September saw a slight increase in reported autocrime across
the area however year to date we have received 31 less reports which is encouraging.
Officers from the Gedling Neighbourhood team have patrolled in hotspot areas
such as Arnold throughout September and we have been supported by a team of
Special Constables working late evening/ night shifts and colleagues from
Response/Operational Support teams. A thorough response to a call on September 13,
2019 saw a male arrested for Vehicle Interference in the Arnold area. Officers
were assisted by members of the public in order to detain Michael Wilson (44
Years) who was arrested, charged and sent to prison for the offence. A number
of offences reported this month have involved the theft of tools, other
business equipment and expensive personal items left within vehicles,
particularly overnight. I would urge you to consider removing valuables when
vehicles are left unattended in order to reduce the likelihood of offences
taking place. In a number of cases, vehicles were also left unlocked. We have
also had reports of number plates being stolen across Gedling Borough and I
would urge you to ensure that number plates are secured with anti-theft screws.
Moving on we have continued the trend of reductions around anti-social
behaviour and violence this year. September saw around 44 less reports of
anti-social behaviour across Gedling and whilst this reduction is likely linked
to the end of the school holidays it’s still pleasing to see that overall
anti-social behaviour has reduced this year. In terms of violence we have
focused on reducing ‘serious violence’ including knife crime across Gedling
Borough this year and I’m pleased that the work seems to be heading in the
right direction.
Community policing
In the last month I have attended three community meetings with
a partnership meeting in Netherfield, a Neighbourhood Watch meeting in Daybrook
and a visit to Calverton Parish Council. I gave some updates around our
policing activity across the area and the work we are doing to reduce some of
the communities concerns. I also talked about the work that the force is doing
to shape the future of Neighbourhood Policing.
Throughout the last few months PCSO Trev Parkinson based at Carlton
has been working to improve our ‘Community Road Safety’ scheme. Trev has worked
to identify, recruit and train new volunteers. We are now looking at locations
to work across the Gedling area and on September 19 a road safety operation was
carried out on Spring Lane, Mapperley following feedback from the community. We
are aiming to expand this work across Gedling and recruit more volunteers. My
thanks to the individuals who have given up their personal time to support
this.
Arnold market place
You may have seen the incident in Arnold market place on Sunday evening (September 29 2019).
At around 22:30 hours a vehicle failed to stop for a marked
police vehicle before crashing into a communal seating area causing damage.
Unfortunately two individuals made off from the vehicle and enquiries are still
ongoing to locate them. Officers are now conducting CCTV enquiries in the area
and I want to reassure you that as a force we are doing everything that we can
to identify and deal with these individuals.
I would ask anyone with any information to contact us quoting
incident 888 of 29/9/2019.

New figures have revealed knife crime is on the decline across Gedling borough.
Figures obtained by the BBC show that so far there have been 22 incidents in the 12 months to the end of September 2019, compared to 54 in 2018.
A decline was also recorded across Nottinghamshire with 295 incidents in total this year, compared to 889 in 2018.
Chief Constable Craig Guildford praised the ‘fantastic results’.
He said: “This is testament to the hard work that Nottinghamshire
Police and our partners have been doing to turn the tide of knife crime.
“Nottinghamshire Police treats knife crime extremely seriously and has a track record of investing resources in tackling the issue.
“We have
a dedicated Knife Crime Team who have a high positive outcome rate from stop
and search activity because of their intelligence-led approach.
“We also
invest in efforts to prevent knife crime by educating young people. Our Schools
and Early intervention Officers visit schools across the county to deliver
knife crime education. The new Dare 25 education package has also been launched
recently to strength this offer even further.
Police have been holding regular knife amnesties to cut down on weapons on the street
“A recent
knife amnesty and week of action led to more than 1,000 weapons being taken out
of circulation and highlighted some of the work we do all year round with
partners and the communities we serve to tackle knife crime.
“While
figures show that our hard work appears to be paying off, it is important now
that we continue this work and aim to reduce knife crime even further – and we
are absolutely committed to doing that.
“The good
news is we recently received a £1.5m funding boost from the Government to
tackle knife crime and the benefits of that spending will continue into next
year, whilst we have also received funding to establish a Violence Reduction
Unit with our partners and this is now getting up and running.”
He added: “We
recognise that every knife crime is one too many and behind the statistics are
real people and families – and we and are determined to continue the work we
are doing along with partners and the community to reduce knife crime.”
Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping said: “Any reduction in serious violence and knife crime is to be welcomed. These figures are certainly a positive indication that the preventative work we are doing, including school-based education and family intervention, as well as robust enforcement, is making a difference to the safety of our communities.
“However, we
must not become complacent, this must be sustained in the long-term through
continued national funding so many more young people are supported to make
positive lifestyle choices that will help steer them away from high risk
friendships and behaviour.“Every victim of knife crime is one too many. We
have a long way to go but we are moving in the right direction.”
Gedling Miners Welfare left it late on Saturday afternoon as a 91st minute Courtney Hastings strike secures a second win in as many games against Clipstone at Plains Road.
The visitors arrived in Mapperley in mixed form despite an impressive win at Kimberley last week. They started well and Daniel Fields’ shot in anger with only 3 minutes played was a warning sign for Gedling who hosted after recently derailing Sherwood Colliery’s unbeaten start to the season.
Early promise may have suggested an end-to-end affair but both teams resulted in scoping one another out as chances on goal were scarce.
Cameron Thurgood’s decent cross was met by Courtney Hastings with 10 minutes played, but the striker couldn’t direct his header and away ‘keeper Sam Ogden ushered it wide.
Shortly after, Tony Law nearly capitalised on some Ogden hesitation when he received a pass-back from Roberto Marchetta, but the stalwart managed to avoid any embarrassment as he just about cleared his lines.
The home side were dominant but failed to make any promising possession count in a first half that offered very little as both Ogden and Lance Walker in the home goal cut very isolated figures.
Just after the half hour, Aaron Large linked up well with Law down the right but his end product lacked accuracy.
With very little to note, the game needed a spark to enlighten a tedious encounter and 7 minutes before the break Gedling duly delivered.
Down the left, Smith, Large and Law all combined with some fine interplay and the lay off for Hastings was perfect to sumptuously curl the ball into the far corner past a stranded Ogden and give his side a deserved lead.
As the half approached, a flurry of late chances could have seen the hosts go into the interval with a healthier scoreline.
Moments after going ahead, the impressive Thurgood looked to emulate Hastings’ strike but his effort from range curled agonisingly wide.
2 minutes later Kieran Harrison, an earlier substitute for Jimmy Spiers, dragged his shot across Ogden but clipped the outside of the post as Welfare ended the half well on top.
PICTURED: GMWFC captain Luke Smith, left, is pictured with match mascot Adam
Chances kept on coming after the break and Harrison should have done better when he benefited from a fortunate ricochet after a tackle with Jack Gibb, but could only scoop the ball over the crossbar with Ogden at his mercy.
He went even closer to notching his first goal for the club only minutes later, however his free kick crashed back off the woodwork with Ogden beaten all ends up.
The dominance continued as the hour mark approached, with Gedling seeking the second goal that would ensure the three points stayed at Plains Road.
Thurgood’s weaving run down the right went undetected but his left footed hit bounced back out off the bar as the Cobra’s goal was living an extremely charmed life.
Posing very little up front, Clipstone’s defence were doing all they could to preserve the one goal deficit, sensing they could possibly snatch an unlikely something late on as they relied heavily on the counter attack.
In a rare venture forward, Josh Pickering sprung the offside trap but could only see his dinked effort drop the other side of Walker’s post.
Through renewed confidence, the visitors grew into the half late on and started to enjoy a commanding spell hoping to take anything back to Mansfield and 11 minutes from time, they snatched an equaliser.
Fine build-up play down the right saw Jason Foster and Pickering combine and the latter’s sly reverse pass to substitute Sheldon McDonald was confidently slotted home to draw Clipstone level.
Sensing the impetus, the visitors may have settled for a point, though could never have expected to lead only 30 seconds later when they added a quickfire second.
A lobbed through ball over a protesting Gedling defence allowed Pickering to bare down on goal and chip over an onrushing Walker to put Clipstone in an unforeseen lead, much to the delight of their devoted supporters, whilst referee Max Atherwood waved away all subsequent offside claims.
Finding themselves in an unpredictable position, the home side, unsurprisingly shaken, now had everything to do to salvage a second win in two.
Charlie Roberts’ towering header, on the end of Thornton’s deep cross with 4 minutes remaining, was cleared off the line by Tony Weaver as Clipstone edged closer to only their third win of the season.
Such was the case against Sherwood last week, managers Andy Clerke and Chris Marks looked to the bench for inspiration.
2 minutes from time and their decision to introduce Curtis Millward late on was rewarded when his tenacious work down the right allowed room for a deep cross to find Large at the back post who controlled well and fired home into the far corner.
In a series of unprecedented events, Miners, with their performance deserving more, pushed for the winner not settling for a point and, as the time ticked over to one minute added, they re-took the lead amidst mass jubilation.
Large’s persistence down the left saw room in behind Gibb and his pass found Hastings who deked past his marker and fire the ball past Ogden who couldn’t prevent the striker’s 15th strike of the season despite a strong hand as Atherton closed an up-and-down second half to secure the points for the home side.
A hard-fought victory for Gedling who overcame a late scare to secure their sixth league win of the campaign and rise to seventh. They travel to Carnarvon Street next Saturday (12 October) where they face Teversal hoping to prolong the recent form, kick off 15:00.

Goals in either half from Martin Ball and Tyler Johal saw
Carlton Town return to the top of the table with a 2-0 win at Chasetown.
The win was no more than Carlton deserved following another
excellent performance. But for some
wasteful finishing and some inspired goalkeeping by home keeper Curtis Pond,
the Millers would have been out of sight long before Johal secured the three
minutes from time.
The question being asked by Carlton supporters before the
game was whether the team was the real deal?
Chasetown away would provide a real test of the team’s credentials. The answer was an emphatic “yes” as the
Millers turned in arguably their best display of the campaign to make it four
wins out of four on the road with not a single goal conceded.
Managers Tommy Brookbanks and Mark Harvey made one change to
the side which beat St Neots last time out.
In came Oliver Robinson at right back in place of Dan Brown.
In an even opening period of the game Chasetown had the
first chance when Liam Kirton saw a fierce shot well-held by Jack Steggles.
The Millers responded and Niall Davie, excellent throughout,
darted past Levi Reid before slipping the ball to Danny Elliott. He in turn fed Oliver Clark who shot just
over the bar.
The Scholars claimed a penalty on 25 minutes following a
challenge between Robinson and Danny Cocks but the referee wasn’t interested.
Davie then should have put the visitors ahead on 26
minutes. He picked up the ball 30 yards
from goal, dropped his shoulder to send William Whieldon the wrong way before
running through clear on goal but Pond got a hand to his shot to turn it away
for a corner.
Clark then lifted the ball into the area where Aaron Opoku
out-muscled Whieldon. He fired at goal
at an angle and drew another fine save from Pond.
By now it was all Carlton and Daniel Fletcher won the ball
in midfield before playing it to Davie.
He slipped in Opoku who held off Reid before firing just over the bar
from the edge of the box.
Chasetown were under the cosh but created an excellent
chance of their own with some fine football down the right. Kirton fed George Cater in the area but
Cater’s shot was weak and comfortably saved by Steggles.
Back came Carlton and Opoku was causing the home defence all
sorts of problems. He cut in from the
left before crossing the ball. Pond
palmed it away only to Davie whose shot was blocked by Alexander Curtis saving
a certain goal.
The breakthrough came on 43 minutes. Elliott, along with Clark and Tom Maddison
controlling the midfield, won a fine tackle before moving the ball left to
Fletcher. He found Opoku who was brought
down by Thomas Urwin 30 yards from goal.
Up stepped Davie whose pinpoint free kick found Ball who made no mistake
with a powerful header from six yards.
Toby Moore made an excellent block from Kirton as the
Scholars almost levelled immediately but there was still time for Pond to make
another save, this time from Davie, after some more fine work from Elliott,
Fletcher, Maddison and Opoku in the build-up.
Chasetown began the second half on the front foot and
Steggles made a good save with his feet from Kirton.
Carlton though created the best chances and when Davie beat
the otherwise excellent Ryan Wynter to a Ball free kick he had a clear sight of
goal. However, with Pond bearing down,
he fired high over the bar and spent some time being treated after a heavy
collision with the goalkeeper.
Maddison then found Opoku whose shot was saved with Elliott’s
follow-up also blocked.
Fletcher then found Tyler Blake. He played a superb pass to Opoku who chested
the ball past Wynter before shooting hard and low only to be denied by another
great stop from Pond.
Still Carlton came forward and when Davie won the ball on
the right he found Opoku. The striker
turned Whieldon, ran into the area and then crossed. Blake was all alone six yards out and looked
certain to score, only for the ball to run between his feet and be cleared.
Carlton replaced Opoku on 69 minutes and without his ability
to hold up play, the game moved towards the Carlton goal.
Steggles was called upon to make an excellent save on 75
minutes from Cocks, holding onto the ball at the second attempt.
As the game entered the final few minutes it was getting
nervy for the travelling support as Chasetown came forward. The Carlton defence held its nerve, with
Robinson and Fletcher dealing with the threats from the wings and Ball, Moore
and Maddison outstanding in the middle.
Those nerves were settled with a fine second goal on 87
minutes. Substitute Mamoke Akaunu won a
throw in on the right. Fellow substitute
Luke Smithson combined with Robinson before Robinson went on a superb run to
the bye-line. Under pressure from Curtis
and Urwin he cut into the area, kept his footing before firing a low cross to
the third substitute Johal who rifled home at the near post to scenes of wild
celebration from the travelling support.
Chasetown had one final effort when Whieldon hit a 25-yarder
just wide while Carlton saw out the final minutes with some fine possession
football to cap an excellent display.
The new bins have been budgeted for to help tackle the borough’s growing litter problem.
Local councillors are calling on local people to help identify new sites for an additional 50 litter bins in the area.
One councillor wrote on Facebook: “We are committed to reducing levels of litter on our streets and roads, as well as in our town centres and villages. This is just one way of working towards achieving an ever-cleaner borough.”
PICTURED: Litter found in Gedling earlier this year (IMAGE: Philip Oddie)
Gedling Borough councillors have now taken to social media and
are asking people in their area to suggest locations for the new bins.
As well as new locations, people can also suggest a location where
an existing bin is beyond repair and requires a replacement.
People have until Thursday (October 10) to suggest a
location. They can either contact their councillor on Facebook or via email.
Please use the subject ‘Litter Bins 2019’.
The council added: “Due to budget constraints, it will not be
possible to install bins at every suggested location.”
An Arnold play park will soon receive a long-awaited £100,000 facelift.
Refurbishments, an extension and installation of new
equipment are all coming to the popular Muirfield Road Recreation Ground in
Arnold.
The full funding has come from FCC Communities Foundation, a
not-for-profit business that awards grants for community, conservation and
heritage projects from funds donated by waste and resource management company
FCC Environment through the Landfill Communities Fund as well as contributions
from local residents group, Warren Hill Action Group.
Works on the play park begins today (October 7) and are
expected to be completed by the end of November.
New equipment includes a viper rope swing, 30m Zip Line,
Disability Access Roundabout and 5m tall multi climbing unit with slide.
The funding bid was made jointly by Gedling Borough Council
and the Warren Action Group, a local residents’ group. The group have been
working to revitalise the playground area and previously received £48,000 from
FCC Communities Foundation for a multi-use games area at the park which was
opened in 2017.
PICTURED: An illustration of the new play area at Muirfield
Portfolio Holder for Environment, Councillor Peter Barnes said: “It’s great to see the works starting, there are some fantastic new facilities planned for the site, and it’s something I’m sure will be enjoyed by the local residents for many years to come.
“A huge thank you to the Warren Action Group for all the work they’ve done alongside council officers, and who have contributed to the costs, and of course, to FCC Communities Foundation who have granted the funding and worked closely with us to make this happen.”
Cheryl Raynor, FCC Communities Foundation’s local grant
manager said: “We are delighted to be supporting the Muirfield Road Playground
Development project and pleased that work is starting on site.
Sue Jablonskas, from the Warren Action Group said: “We’re really pleased with the comments and support of both FCC and GBC at this, the final stage of our three year project to improve facilities on the Murifield Road recreation ground. The new play facilities are much needed and eagerly awaited by children and families in the area.
“We anticipate the new facilities will be ready by the end of November, but our other planned events, such as our annual firework display next month, will still be going ahead on the site during the works.”
