Councillors back plans that could lead to the end of Gedling Borough Council

Councillors have today voted to back plans that could spell the end for Gedling Borough Council and other smaller authorities across the county.

Proposals will now be put together on how and when a new ‘super council’ would be put into place for Nottinghamshire.

It would involve dissolving district and borough councils, and the county council, and creating a brand new authority.

However the proposal was watered down at the last minute, ahead of the vote.

The plan had been to vote on whether to put a business case together and send it to the Government.

Now, a case will be put together, which will then come back before councillors.

Should councillors then vote in favour at a future meeting, it would then be sent to the Government.

Nottingham City Council has said if a case is eventually sent to the Government, it will create its own bid to enlarge the city’s boundaries to include West Bridgford, Arnold, Gedling and Broxtowe.

This would mean many urban areas around the city would come under the city’s authority.

Opposition councillors today queued up to attack the plans, and the way they were put together.

But Conservative leader Kay Cutts, who represents the Radcliffe on Trent ward, laid out what she see as the benefits of the scheme, and said it should have happened years ago.

She said: “There is little justification in maintaining the bureaucracy of eight seprate council offices across Nottinghamshire.

“It would make life simpler, and cost taxpayers significantly less.

“The public will at least know who their councillor is, and will have a one-stop shop for all their issues.

“I believe this is what the people of Nottinghamshire want, and I believe it is what the councillors in this chamber want.”

But many people who spoke today at the meeting – which lasted more than six hours – were against the proposal.

Alan Rhodes is the leader of the Labour group. He said the proposal would become the equivalent of Brexit. He said it would be: “Hugely distracting from the job we are all elected to do, deeply divisive, and ultimately doomed to failure with promises broken and expectation failing to be met.”

In an impassioned speech, independent councillor Maureen Dobson, who represents Collingham, said the way the scheme had been handled was a ‘Kay Cutts special’. She said she supported re-organisaiton, but that it had been mishandled.

Speaking to the leader, she said: “For someone who’s supposed to be politically astute, you’ve been very naive, and I’m very surprised about that. This will not be your legacy, this will be your downfall.”

Liberal Democrat councillor Stephen Carr described the process as a ‘shambles’, and said: “I am totally opposed to unitary authorities. It doesn’t make sense for an area that stretches from here to Doncaster. We want more power to be held nearer the people.”

“You have turned this issue into something that is as divisive as Brexit.

“There is now a real danger that the city will seek to expand its borders, and this is incredibly unpopular in those areas.

“What you should have done is speak to all those parties, but you have not, and it will inflict huge damage on your party at the next election.

Speaking after the meeting, council leader Kay Cutts said that she was pleased that the council had ‘started the journey’, but couldn’t say whether the business case would be finalised before the end of the year.

The scheme was narrowly voted through today by 35 to 30. A more detailed plan will now be put together by council officers, before councillors vote on the final proposals.

Man arrested over Ravenshead burglary released under investigation

Police have released a man arrested in connection with an aggravated burglary in Ravenshead under investigation.

Officers received a call at 10.10pm on Monday, July 2, 2018 after three men, claiming to be armed police, broke into a property in Kirkby Road threatened the occupants and demanded money from them.

A male occupant was punched in the face and a female occupant was threatened with knife as the suspects demanded to know the location of the money.

The woman managed to escape and ran to a nearby Sainsbury’s store where she called the police. The offenders left the house shortly after.

A spokesman said: “Thankfully the occupants weren’t seriously injured. Three mobile phones were taken from the address but were later recovered. The suspects also took the key to a vehicle and a kitchen knife. The car wasn’t taken.

A 33-year-old man was arrested in connection with the burglary and has been released under investigation.

Anyone with any information about the aggravated burglary is urged to call Nottinghamshire Police on 101, quoting incident number 1127 of 2 July 2018, or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.・@ ・@

What would super council plan mean for people in Gedling borough?

What would super council plan mean for people in Gedling borough?

The future of Gedling Borough Council hangs in the balance today as councillors prepare to vote on plans to abolish all seven county and district councils across the county later today.

If plans are approved, Nottingham City Council said it will begin formalising its own rival plan to more than double the size of Nottingham, by taking control of Gedling, Arnold and Carlton as well as West Bridgford and Hucknall.

These plans would then be considered by the Government.

If either of them go ahead, it would mean lots of changes for people living in the borough – but how exactly would it affect you?

There’s a huge amount still up in the air, and the scheme may yet fall at the first hurdle tomorrow, but we’ve had a look at what the re-organisation could mean for residents.

So what are the options?

There are three different options.

Option One – Do nothing. Currently people living in Nottinghamshire are covered by a district or borough council, and the county council. This is called two-tier authority.

Option Two – Scrap all seven district and borough councils, and the county council, and create a brand new council for all of the county. This is called a unitary authority. Opponents say this would remove local decision making. Supporters say it would save money.

Option Three – Create a unitary authority for Nottinghamshire, and eventually expand the city’s border to include the wider urban area.

Would I be affected?

If you live in Nottinghamshire, then yes. If the borders of Nottingham are changed, people in most parts of Arnold, Carlton, Gedling would come become part of the the city council.

Complex laws mean the city boundaries are unlikely to change at the same time as the new council being created – but possibly a few years later.

Why is this happening?

There are lots of reasons, but money is central.

The amount of money councils get from the Government has fallen dramatically.

At the same time, demand on the council for social care and children’s care has gone up.

This has caused a financial squeeze on councils.

Loxley_House

Has this happened elsewhere?

Yes and no. Some areas have created unitary authorities from two-tier before, but they have tended to be in areas dominated by either Labour or the Conservatives, so consensus was easier to come by.

Nottinghamshire’s politics is about as diverse as it gets. Of the districts and boroughs, three are run by Conservatives, two by Labour and two by independents. The county is run by a Conservative-led coalition, and the city is dominated by Labour.

This has meant it’s been difficult to get everyone to agree.

Who will collect my bins?

If the new super council goes ahead, then it will be the new council that provides all services.

Currently, some services are done by the county, and some by the districts or boroughs. The new council would stop that and become responsible for all services.

What will it be called?

It wouldn’t be a county council, so the new authority would likely be called Nottinghamshire Council.

Where will it be based?

The most obvious place would be at County Hall, but this is yet to be confirmed. Or even discussed!

How much will it save?

The cost savings could be significant. In Dorset, where a similar scheme is in the pipeline, bosses hope the £25 million investment would be paid back in less than a year, and that there would be savings of around £28 million a year afterwards.

Leicestershire is also considering a similar scheme, and bosses there say it could save £30 million a year.

When might all this happen?

It’s likely to take two years at the very least. Dorset, where there is a lot of political consensus, hope to finish the process in two-and-a-half years.

What are the benefits?

Supporters of the scheme say the huge amount of work that would go into re-organisation would pay off in the end.

They say it would make things simpler for residents, who would only have one council to interact with.

Those in favour also say it would mean the council could take a county-wide approach to infrastructure such as roads and house building.

What about the drawbacks?

The many vocal critics of re-organisation have raised a wide range of concerns.

They say it would take decision making away from local people.

Some say the new council would ‘asset-strip’, by selling off council-owned land and buildings.

There is also a fear that the new authority would simply be ‘too big,’ and would lose touch with the residents.

Memories come flooding back for Netherfield war veterans at county heritage event

A social groups for ex-service veterans set up in Netherfield to reduce loneliness and isolation reminisced about old times at a World War 1 event at Rufford Abbey Country Park yesterday (11).

Nottinghamshire County Council was awarded £106,000 to fund a project worker for two years to link up veterans aged over 65 with local projects and activities to help them be more active in their community.

The group from Netherfield meet every week and are currently looking to start a history project covering the town and the surrounding areas during World War 1.

The ‘World War 1 Heritage Day’ event included demonstrations, quizzes, competitions, storytelling and displays telling the story of life in Nottinghamshire during World War 1.

Organisations attended include the National Justice Museum, The Queen’s Royal Lancers and Nottinghamshire Yeomanry Museum and the Historic Ambulance Museum.

Navy veteran Barrie Walters, 78, from Netherfield said: “Events like this help bring back the memories. There are some things only veterans understand and remember because of their experiences.

“We used to have more clubs for veterans but these have closed down so there is a big gap. This group help to fill this gap.”

Cllr Keith Girling, the Council’s Armed Forces Champion, said: “The wide range of displays, demonstrations and artefacts at this wartime-themed event helped evoke lots of memories for the veterans and brought the groups closer together.

“This fantastic project aims to improve the health and wellbeing of veterans who are at greater risk of loneliness and isolation in old age.”

It is estimated 5.8 percent of Nottinghamshire’s 750,000 population are ex-service community, which amounts to 43,500 residents.

Nottingham City Council plans to take control of Gedling borough if unitary plans get go ahead

Nottingham City Council plans to take control of Gedling borough if unitary plans get go ahead

Nottingham City Council has revealed it would seek to expand its borders and take control of Gedling borough if plans to scrap district and borough councils is given the go ahead.

Nottinghamshire County Council is set to debate proposals on Thursday to move ahead with plans to create a ‘super council’ which could mean all seven district and borough councils would be dissolved.

Now, the leader of Nottingham City Council, Jon Collins, has said if the county council approves plans he would look to expand the city boundaries to include Beeston, Stapleford, Toton, Arnold, Carlton, Gedling, Hucknall and West Bridgford.

He said that if the county council votes in favour of the plans this week, the city council would be ‘forced’ to set out its own proposals, and expand into the wider conurbation.

Councillor Collins, who represents the St Ann’s ward for Labour, said: “We will continue to work with the existing pattern of local government but if the county council lobbies to become a single tier authority on the current boundaries, we will be forced to present alternative proposals.

“It obviously makes sense for the city council to deliver services across the whole conurbation and not just inner city Nottingham and as a result we would seek to expand our boundary to cover the whole urban area which would include Beeston, Stapleford, Toton, Arnold, Carlton, Gedling, Hucknall and West Bridgford.”

Councillor Collins said if the councty gives the green light on Thursday to moving ahead with their plans, he will approach the neighbouring district and borough councils.

He said: “Of course, our first step would be to work with our neighbouring district councils to see whether, in the face of the decision by the county council, they would be happier co-operating with us on an alternative proposal.

“But ultimately, any case we make must reflect the logic of a single local authority covering Nottingham’s wider urban area.”

The leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, Kay Cutts, favours a plan to scrap district councils in order to make savings, however critics say it would remove local decision making.

She has said she wants to get on with the plans ‘as soon as possible’, but has declined to comment on the upcoming vote on Thursday.

Councillor Collins continued: “While unitary local government may make sense in the long term, we don’t see it as the answer to the gross underfunding of local government by central government which has seen Nottingham’s Revenue Support Grant cut from £127 million in 2013 to just £25m next year.

“These cuts need to be reversed and that’s a matter for the Government which won’t be solved by rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. Indeed, our experience of local government reorganisation in the late 1990s is that, while it made savings in the long term, it incurred significant extra cost in the short term which had to be met by council tax payers.

“The current city council area is seriously under-bounded with a population of 329,000 compared to a population for the Greater Nottingham area of over 700,000. This is important as funding for the city council and city services is based on population size and determined by council tax, driven by population mix, and business rate income.”

In the event that the county signals that it will move forward with its proposals, the city council has said it will write to the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Conservative James Brokenshire, to outline its own proposals.

Supermarkets across Gedling borough recall more frozen products due to listeria contamination fears

A number of supermarkets across the borough have recalled more frozen products following fears they may be contaminated with listeria.

The Food Standards Agency has named more products that are being withdrawn from shelves after a food poisoning alert.

Supermarkets including Tesco Sainsbury’s and Aldi have recall more frozen products over fears they may be contaminated with listeria.

Products being withdrawn include Tesco’s Frozen Mixed Vegetables and Peppers, Lidl’s Green Grocer’s Carrots, Broccoli & Sweetcorn, and Sainsbury’s Mixed Vegetables.

The additional products have been removed after 43 types of frozen sweetcorn products were named over concerns they may be contaminated with listeria.

The bacteria is a particular threat to the elderly, pregnant women and babies.

The contamination has been traced to a frozen food plant in Hungary which is known to have had problems with listeria contamination dating back to 2016. Despite this, it was allowed to continue supplying shops.

New jobs created following £40,000 investment at Colwick recycling firm

New jobs created following £40,000 investment at Colwick recycling firm

Two new jobs have been created in the area following a £40,000 investment by a Colwick recycling firm.

Wastecycle, which is based in Colwick Industrial Estate, recently took delivery of a new grab wagon, which will allow it to expand its waste collection services.

The Volvo, which features a clamshell grab will enable Wastecycle to work with construction companies, site managers and homeowners who have large amounts waste to dispose of but cannot use a skip.

Two new drivers have been recruited to enable Wastecycle to roll out its new service.

Paul Walker, logistics director at Wastecycle, said the new vehicle will help create new opportunities for the firm.

He said: “Over the last year we have seen a dramatic increase in the number people asking if we can remove large amounts of soil, bricks, tarmac and green waste from their premises and building sites, so, we’ve invested in this new vehicle, taken on new staff and introduced a Grab Hire service.

“As well as being able to deal with larger volumes of waste than skips, the grab truck is also able to get into hard to reach areas, which makes it perfect for jobs where there are access restrictions.

“The grab wagon can also carry 15 tonnes of waste, which is twice as much as our most popular construction skip can accommodate.”

Established in 1998, Wastecycle has grown rapidly and today is the leading resource management and recycling company in the East Midlands.

The company uses the latest technologies to help over 3,000 businesses improve resource efficiency and reduce their operating costs by increasing recycling and decreasing carbon emissions.

The firm processes more than 500,000 tonnes of commercial, construction and domestic waste and materials each year, of which, over 97% is recycled and recovered.
