Renters in Gedling borough will soon be able access a rogue landlord database to help them choose where to live.
A list of dodgy landlords and property agents was first introduced in April 2018 but at the moment only local authorities can view it. Now the public could get access under government plans.
It includes those who have been banned for failing to make a property habitable, or have been convicted of serious offences.
“This database has the potential to ensure that poor quality homes across the country are improved and the worst landlords are banned, and it is right that we unlock this crucial information for new and prospective tenants,” said Communities Secretary James Brokenshire.
“Landlords should be in no doubt that they must provide decent homes or face the consequences.”
Polly Neate, chief executive of housing charity Shelter, said: “We welcome government plans that would stop private renters unwittingly agreeing to rental contracts with rogue or criminal landlords.
“Having access to a public database will offer renters a better chance of protecting themselves and their family.”
Nottinghamshire Police has issued a fresh plea calling on people in Gedling borough to use 999 responsibly after they revealed one of the latest “misplaced” emergency call about a fox.
The caller contacted the emergency services on 999 to ask what do do after spotting a ‘big’ fox in their garden.
The details of the call have been released to remind people in the borough only to call 999 in an emergency.
Nottinghamshire Police’s busy Control Room handles thousands of 999 emergency calls each month and while the majority of emergency calls are made to request police support in genuine emergencies, 999 call handlers still receive a number of spurious and misplaced calls which delay them from dealing with the most urgent calls.
Superintendent Paul Burrows, from Nottinghamshire Police’s Contact Management department, said: “The vast majority of the public understand that 999 is only for emergency calls but, despite the work we regularly do in the media, online and over-the-phone to explain to people how to use 999 responsibly, we do still receive a high number of misplaced calls to our emergency number.
“While some of the misplaced calls we receive range from honest errors of judgement to the more unusual, there is a serious point to be made here as every misplaced call our emergency call handlers receive has the potential to delay us from responding to genuine emergencies.
“All we’re asking is that people only call 999 in genuine emergencies and remember that there are other ways to contact us for less urgent enquiries, with the Nottinghamshire Police website – www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/advice – offering advice on hundreds of policing and non-policing issues and the 101 non-emergency number also available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.”
Police advice for using 999 responsibly
Please think before dialling and only call 999 when life is in danger, someone is seriously injured, someone is using or threatening to use violence, a crime is in progress, there is serious damage being caused to property or whenever else an immediate police response is required.
For all other non-emergency policing matters, please call 101 or visit the Nottinghamshire Police website – www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/advice – for advice on how to deal with hundreds of policing and non-policing matters.
By not calling 999 when it’s anything less than an emergency, you can help to ensure Nottinghamshire Police’s team of emergency call handlers can be on-hand for when people really do need them.
Young people across Gedling borough won’t need deep pockets to stay entertained this summer, thanks to a range of free events on offer from Gedling Borough Council.
Free swimming sessions, leisure access, skate jams and a free screening of Avengers: End Game are on offer to young people aged 11-16, as part of a new scheme to encourage youngsters to get more active in the borough over the summer.
From next week, there will be a host of events and activities during the school summer holidays at the council’s leisure centres, skate parks, community centres and at The Bonington Theatre & Cinema that will be free or subsidised.
The Bonington is offering a free showing of the blockbuster hit Avengers: Endgame where there will also be a programme of cinema releases aimed at young people.
There will be free public swimming sessions at Carlton Forum and Arnold Leisure Centre and several youth centres across the borough will be hosting free activities including free access to 3G football pitches.
Avengers: End Game is showing for free at The Bonington this summer
There will also be several skate jam events at skate parks across the borough with professional skateboarders and BMX riders offering free lessons and advice.
The scheme launch follows the creation of a new Gedling Borough Council Cabinet role for Young People and Equalities. The portfolio holder for the new role is Councillor Viv McCrossen, supported by policy advisor, Councillor Kathryn Fox.
Cllr McCrossen has secured £10,000 in funding to put on this series of events from July until August and it is part of a wider aim to provide more for young people.
Cllr McCrossen will focus on improving equalities for young people, increasing engagement with young people and liaising with bodies and organisations that work with young people on issues such as mental health and social mobility.
Councillor Viv McCrossen, Portfolio Holder for Young People and Equalities said: “This is a really exciting programme for young people aged 11-16. We have some great events for toddlers and young children through our play days but we realised that there was not much for young people so we have created this programme.
“These activities will take place throughout the summer and will give young people a chance to take part in a number of things for free or for a small fee which could inspire them to do something that makes them more active.”
For the full list of all activities, taking place between July and August for 11-16 year olds, or to download a brochure visit www.gedling.gov.uk/events or email community@gedling.gov.uk for more information.
People across Gedling borough are being given the chance to hand in their unwanted guns to police over the next two weeks and avoid prosecution, during a national firearms surrender
Nottinghamshire Police is supporting the campaign, which starts tomorrow (July 20) and runs until Sunday August 4.
During the surrender, weapons can be handed in at the front counters at Mansfield, Newark and Radford Road police stations during their normal opening times.
Those surrendering firearms will not face prosecution for the illegal possession and they can remain anonymous.
The surrender does not give an amnesty for the life of the weapon – previous offences linked to the firearm will be investigated.
Nottinghamshire Police Assistant Chief Constable Kate Meynell said: “This two-week surrender will help prevent firearms getting into the wrong hands and provide members of the community with a safe place to dispose of any firearms they have, whether held lawfully or unlawfully.
PICTURED: Paddy Tipping, left, with Kate Meynell, assistant chief constable
“This is a firearms surrender, not an amnesty. The amnesty applies to possession of a firearm at the point of surrender only.
“Nottinghamshire Police remains committed to reducing the risk of harm to our communities from firearms crime and we will continue to vigorously investigate criminal offences linked to any firearm recovered.
“The number of firearms offences has fallen in Nottinghamshire over the last three years and the proportion of incidents per head of the population is below the national average, but we are not complacent.
“By supporting the surrender, people could be saving lives. One weapon off the streets is one less that can be used to harm or threaten our communities.”
During the last surrender in Nottinghamshire in November 2017, over 245 items of firearms and ammunition were taken out of circulation.
Paddy Tipping, Nottinghamshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner, said: “I’m clear that firearms, in the wrong hands, can cause serious injury or worse. This surrender gives people the opportunity to hand firearms over to the police to prevent them from falling into the hands of criminals.
“Thankfully the chances of becoming a victim of gun crime Nottinghamshire remains low, but one incident is one too many. Every firearm that we can take out of circulation is out of harm’s way and I hope that people with old, disused or unwanted firearms, whether they are real, imitation or antique, will take this opportunity to dispose of them responsibly.”
A new fleet of environmentally-friendly buses will start serving passengers in Arnold from next week.
The nine bio-gas double deck buses – from an order of 67 this year – will be introduced on Lime 58 to Arnold via Sherwood next week, Nottingham City Transport revealed today.
The fleet of low emission bio-gas buses will have CO2 emissions 84% lower than the diesel buses they are replacing, as well as lower NOX and PM (particulate matter) emissions too.
Fuel for these buses is produced from food and farm waste through anaerobic digestion, making them the greenest buses currently on the road.
Daybrook and parts of the A60 Mansfield Road through Gedling borough have been identified as areas where action to improve air quality is needed.
The introduction of these brand-new low-emission bio-gas buses to Lime 58, which join the 8 existing bio-gas buses already running through Daybrook on Lilac 25 will make the air cleaner.
PICTURED: Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Cllr John Clarke; NCT marketing manager, Anthony Caver-Smith and Cllr Michael Payne, deputy leader of the council at the launch of new BioGas Buses for Route 58,
Anthony Carver-Smith, NCT’s Marketing Manager said, “NCT is investing £42m over three years to reduce the emissions from our already clean fleet, even further. Alongside the largest fleet of bio-gas double deck buses in the world, NCT are also fitting an exhaust treatment system to our remaining diesel fleet, which sees the overall fleet emissions from NCT reduce by 90% by 2020.”
In the last year, this investment, supported by government grants – won by Nottingham City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council – has avoided 8000 tonnes of CO2 and 70tonnes of being emitted from the NCT fleet.
Lime 58 is the core service between Arnold, Sherwood and the City Centre, operating up to every 7 minutes on Monday to Saturday daytimes. Sunday daytime buses run every 20 minutes,with evening buses running until midnight most of the week and through until 3.15am at the weekends.
The new bio-gas buses come with free Wi-Fi as standard across the NCT fleet, but also with USB charging points for customers to keep their devices topped up.
Gedling Borough Council Leader, Cllr John Clarke said: “It’s great to see these new buses hitting the roads in Gedling Borough.
“Part of our Air Quality Action plan is to encourage greener public transport fleets and Nottingham City Transport are leading the way with their bio-gas buses, not only providing more modern transport services for the public, but also a service that’s better for the environment.”
Elsewhere in the Arnold area, the Purple 87 midi-buses have already had their exhaust treatment system fitted to reduce emissions and work on the double deck fleet on Lime 56, 57, 59 and Turquoise 79, 79A is well underway.
The buses on Grey 53, 54 between Arnold, QMC and Clifton will be replaced by newer buses from later this year, as 10 new midi-buses join the fleet in the autumn.

A new report has revealed that Nottinghamshire Police needs to recruit an extra 260 officers by 2023 if it is to cope with rising crime levels
The report, commissioned by Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping and Chief Constable Craig Guildford, warns police officer time is already being outstripped by demand across the county – and predicts the extra officers will be needed if the force is to meet growing pressures, which will amount to some 29,000 extra hours every month.
A new demand model, drawn up by national crime experts Crest Advisory, has for the first time exposed the real gap between reactive police demand and resources in the county – and the provision needed to plug it.
Rising levels of recorded and reported violent and sexual offences are partly to blame, which includes greater reporting of historic offences. These offences came to represent 64% of “all crime” demand (excluding non-crime incidents) in 2018 compared to 53% in 2014.
The findings of the report are being revealed today ahead of being presented at the National Police Chiefs Council on July 17.
Crest’s model is bespoke to Nottinghamshire and has been built to match its unique structure.
The model is based on a number of statistical forecasting techniques and predicts both the scale and type of demand to help Nottinghamshire Police sustain services and improve planning over the next four to five years.
Paddy Tipping said: “This data is backed up by hard evidence and gives us an insight into the challenges facing our unique county in the coming years.
“As the research shows, demand is already outstripping available resources and it is critical we act now to boost our capacity in the places where they are most needed. Any further force efficiencies within its current budget would be at the margins according to the report.”
Craig Guildford, chief constable, said: I’ve challenged, tested and corroborated a large amount of the reactive demand modelling with over 150 cops and it absolutely underlines to me that my officers and staff are individually and collectively producing a huge amount of work on behalf of the public. They carry a significant workload when compared with peers and I’m incredibly humbled with the amount of brilliant results and service they deliver given the demand we deal with.
“We’ve increased our officer numbers back up to the 2000 mark and I echo many of the comments made by Sir Thomas Windsor in his recent annual report as I look forward to how the CSR and national funding formula work will hopefully lead to a positive outcome both locally and nationally.”
According to the report, the force has been operating “at or over capacity” since 2016 and has 172,259 available officer hours per month to respond to reactive incidents reported through the control room and crimes reported by the public. This does not take account of proactive work including counter terrorism or organised crime.
PICTURED: Paddy Tipping, who commissioned today’s report
By July next year, the gap between available hours and reactive demand is forecast to hit 23,500 hours – which will climb to 29,000 per month by 2023. This will require an extra £19.2m in extra police officers over the next three years.
Data shows 26% of police demand in 2018 was spent responding to non-crime incidents, while 20% accounted for the initial response to incidents and 54% related to secondary investigation of crime.
The report also reveals increased demand from hoax calls which accounted for 1901 police officer hours per month on average in 2018.
The model predicts the top five demand pressures in 2023 as violence with injury, violence without injury, public order, sexual offences and shoplifting. Meanwhile, burglary demand is likely to remain more stable.
The report warns the Force may need to invest in more local detectives and specialist skill sets including forensic and digital investigation to meet the challenge posed by violence and sexual offending.
Six years ago, in July 2013, various parts of Calverton were hit by
severe flooding. particularly Main Street and St. Wilfrid’s Square. Other areas
affected included Park Road East, West End and Mansfield Lane.
Recently a progress report has been issued concerning a Notts CC £15 million project to reduce the risk of flooding to properties in Nottinghamshire.
The project comprises 18 schemes, run and funded in partnership with other agencies and communities, aiming to help those at greatest risk and include engineered designs, natural flood management and measures to make homes more resilient to surface water flooding in the future.
The schemes which are either in the stages of feasibility, development or delivery include Southwell, Lowdham, Thurgarton, Gunthorpe, Arnold, Daybrook, Newark and Mansfield as well as Calverton.
Gravelly Hollow – over 10 years on!
PICTURED: Grevelly Hollow
It is 13 years since the road through Gravelly Hollow was blocked off at its junction with the A614 Ollerton Road. The area has become increasingly popular for local walkers but also for less salubrious activities such as fly-tipping and burnt out vehicles
From the archives…
Amongst papers and documents donated to
the Pres Society is a letter from about 75 years ago by a County Secretary of
the Women’s Land Army which included the following information:-
“Dear Madam
I expect you have already been told that members of the Women’s Land Army are required to give up 30 clothing coupons from their ration books to cover the replacement of uniform…………..Your employer can claim for you the 10 supplementary clothing coupons for agricultural workers and in addition I am sending you coupon vouchers to the value of 26 coupons which will enable you to purchase clothing suitable for farm life which is not supplied by the Women’s Land Army, so you must use them carefully and not spent them unless it is really necessary.”
Local woodlands
A guide issued by the Woodland Trust mentions several accessible Woodlands within about 2 miles of Calverton. The largest and closest is Hollinwood run by the Trust itself. Access is by Hollinwood Lane, a rough track at the western end of Main Street. There are also 2 Woodland Welcome woods, Woodborough Park Farm (along Spindle Lane from Bonner Hill) and Moorfield Farm (off Georges Lane near Spring Cottage). Other nearby accessible woodland is along Longdale Lane and at Burntstump Country Park, both close to the A 614 Ollerton Road.
Pres clips…
An application has been submitted to the Traffic Commissioners to add an extra 5 goods vehicles and 5 trailers at the operating centre at the Hollinwood Lane lorry park.
The land on Flatts Lane which recently received planning permission for up to 84 dwellings has been put up for sale by the owners Northern Trust Company.
Two uncommon types of birds, woodlark and nightjar, inhabit the Calverton area.
Both species, regarded as “at risk”, are thought to breed in an area which includes woodland and adjacent land along the A 614 Ollerton Road near Gravelly Hollow and Longdale Lane.

An Arnold firm is backing a campaign to tackle the growing
problem of knife crime in Notts.
Building supplies company Frank Key, which has its headquarters in Daybrook, is backing the ‘Taken Too Soon’ for the sixth year.
The campaign works with local communities to help
disadvantaged young people with the aim to tackle the increasing number of
knife crime incidents in and around Nottingham.
According to the campaigners, last year showed the biggest
increase in knife crime in the city since pre-2011 and also revealed the spread
of incidents throughout all areas of Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
Frank Key was first involved with the Taken Too Soon
campaign six years ago, donating the materials and supplies needed to renovate
the changing room facilities and the clubhouse at The Inspire Stadium in Stoke
Bardolph, where football is used to help keep young people away from crime.
Roger Henry, project leader for ‘Taken Too Soon’ said;
“Frank Key wasted no time in donating the materials we needed to help renovate
The Inspire Stadium. Having this facility has meant we’ve been able to help
thousands of disengaged, underrepresented and disadvantaged young people stay
away from crime and go on to lead constructive lives.
“The support of sponsors such as Frank Key will not just
help to tackle serious violence and knife crime but will help organisations
that provide holistic welfare support to local families and reduce
unemployment.”
Last weekend, a charity football match took place at Carlton
Town which saw a VIP All Stars team take on East Midlands Operational Support
Service, made famous from Channel 5’s ‘Police Interceptors.
Frank Key’s Group MD James Norton said: “We are very proud
to support Taken Too Soon and to be one of the sponsors for the fundraiser
football match. We hope the money raised from this event makes a huge
difference in the lives of disadvantaged youth around our city. ”
Frank Key is an independent family-owned company with its HQ
in the Daybrook, Nottingham and branches across Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire and
Yorkshire. It has an ongoing programme of charitable donations and supports
many local community groups and campaigns.
Amazon shoppers in Gedling borough are being warned over a
fake refund email doing the rounds from scammers, which dupes them into handing
over their bank details.
Scambusters Action Fraud has issued the warning after receiving a number of reports about the hoax emails
The fake email tells recipients that they have “a
refund available” from an overpayment.
Recipients are then asked to follow a link to login to their
Amazon account to complete the refund request, but this actually gives
fraudsters access to their personal and financial information.
A spokesman for Action Fraud said: “Watch out for these
fake emails offering Amazon refunds.
“Action Fraud has received reports about fake emails
purporting to be from Amazon. The emails state the recipient is owed a refund.
“The links in the email lead to malicious websites that
are designed to steal Amazon login details, as well as personal and financial
information.
“Don’t click on the links or attachments in suspicious
emails, and never respond to messages that ask for your personal or financial
details.”
Amazon are now asking shoppers in the borough who have
received the fake email to alert the company by emailing stop-spoofing@amazon.com
How to spot a fake message
Here are some top tips for spotting a scam email so you
don’t get caught out:
Check the message contains your name – a legitimate message
will always address you by your name
Question the content – anything along the lines of “Action
required”, “Security Alert”, “There is a secure message waiting for you”, and
so on, should be treated as suspect
Be wary of links – never click on any links in messages or
emails if you suspect they may be fake
Check for a change in style – scammers will often take real
messages or emails and amend them. Look out for changes in the wording used,
especially if it seems too casual or familiar
Check for spelling and grammar – are there any spelling
mistakes, missing full stops, or other grammatical errors?
Never provide details by text or email – a company will
never ask you to provide bank details or personal information by text or email

American woman, a louche English lord, and an innocent young chap join a house
party of fin de siècle fools and grotesques. Nearby a woman lives, cradling a
long-buried secret. First performed in 1893, Oscar Wilde’s marriage of
glittering wit and Ibsenite drama satirised the socially conservative world of
the Victorian upper-class, creating a vivid new theatrical voice which still
resonates today.
(2hrs 35 mins including
an Interval. Filmed live at the Vaudeville Theatre, London)

Event Cinema:André Rieu’s Shall We Dance?2019 Maastricht Concert (PG)
Saturday, August 31 at
3pm & 7pm
This year André Rieu invites you to put on your dancing shoes for his
spectacular 2019 hometown concert from Maastricht: ‘Shall we Dance?’
The majestic waltz has been such an inspiration to Andre throughout his
career that its three-four beat has become, in many ways, the rhythm of his
life. And this year the maestro will bring the waltz to life in an
unforgettable evening of music and dance. What Summer nights were made for!
