Woodthorpe mum asks council to install crossing before ‘someone is killed’

Woodthorpe mum asks council to install crossing before ‘someone is killed’

A resident in Woodthorpe is calling on a local authority to undertake a review of safety on a major road running through her community before ‘someone gets killed’.

Samantha Lloyd is calling on Nottinghamshire County Council to install a pedestrian crossing on  Thackeray’s Lane due to high volumes of traffic.

The campaigner has approached the council’s highways department and asked them to carry out a road safety survey so they can see the volume of traffic justifies the need for a crossing to be installed.

Samantha said: “As a Woodthorpe resident of just over a year and mum to a three-year-old son, I am constantly concerned about the safety of people trying to cross Thackeray’s Lane between Coteswood House Day Nursery and the play area between the Vale Pub and the Church of the Good Shepherd.

“There is an island which pedestrians can wait for ages to cross at and get stranded on whilst waiting for gaps in the traffic, which are few and far between due to Thackeray’s Island being a roundabout and therefore free-flowing.

“There is a church, a play area, a day nursery and numerous bus stops along this stretch and yet no safe place to cross the road. Please help us get a proper crossing put in before someone gets hurt or killed.”

Samantha said she has met with Gedling Borough Council leader John Clarke, who she said has beemn ‘very sympathetic’ but highways in the region are the responsibility of Nottinghamshire County Council.

She has now set up a petition to get the public to back her bid and also convince the council to carry out the survey to show the council’s criteria for a crossing is met.

The council will only place a zebra crossing in areas where there is a ratio of 100 pedestrians to 1000 vehicles within a 200m stretch of highway.

Other residents are now also backing Samantha’s bid.

Sian Marrow, from Arnold, said: “I know first-hand how unsafe this road is for adults to cross. An area with such a high footfall of children, including my one-year-old daughter, should definitely be prioritised for a new crossing point. “

John Giles of Woodthorpe said: “I’m a local resident and agree there should either be additional refuges or pelican crossings or a speed camera to slow traffic which is typically faster than 30mph.”

Gedling Eye has approached Nottinghamshire County Council for a comment.

Fears of a cat killer on the loose in Netherfield

Fears of a cat killer on the loose in Netherfield

Pet owners in Netherfield have been put on alert after a spate of cat deaths from suspected antifreeze poisoning.

The cat deaths all occurred on Dunstan Street in the town.

According to locals at least two cats have died in the past few weeks as a result of poisoning – sparking fears a deliberate cat killer is on the loose.

The poison is thought to be responsible for the deaths of several other cats on the street over the past year.

One resident who didn’t want to be named told Gedling Eye: “My neighbour told me his next-door cat was one of those that had sadly died; it looks like it may be anti-freeze.

“I lost a cat Christmas before last having ingested antifreeze too. People have to be made aware and the person doing it must be caught. I believe the police have been informed.”

Now owners are being urged to keep an eye on their animals and get treatment immediately if they suspect their pet has been poisoned.

The signs of poisoning can be seen anything from 30 minutes after a cat has ingested the chemical, though it can be two or three days before signs of kidney failure are seen.

The signs of poisoning can include one, or several of the following:

  • Vomiting
  • Seeming sleepy or depressed
  • Appearing drunk or uncoordinated
  • Seizures
  • Difficulty breathing

Gedling Eye has contacted Nottinghamshire Police who said they have no record of being contacted about this incident.

Teachers in borough getting training to deal with pupils’ mental health issues

Teachers in secondary schools in Gedling borough are to take part in a new training programme to help them identify and respond to early signs of mental health issues in children.

The programme, which is backed by £200,000 of government funding, and delivered by the charity Mental Health First Aid, will cover every secondary school in England, as part of a government commitment to improve support for children and young people.

Teachers and other school staff will receive practical advice on how to recognise issues including depression and anxiety, self-harm, and eating disorders.

They will also be invited to become ‘first aid champions’, sharing their knowledge and experiences across schools and communities to raise awareness and break down stigma and discrimination.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said: “Teachers already provide outstanding pastoral care and support for their pupils, but many have said that they would appreciate more training on how to understand and respond to mental health issues.

“We know that identifying symptoms of mental illness early can help young people on the road to recovery. This training will mean more children receive the timely and sensitive support they need to stay well.”

One in 10 school-aged children will have a mental health condition at any time, with half of all mental health conditions beginning before the age of 14, making early intervention and support vital.

Some Sainsbury’s Deli Fillers products recalled after listeria scare

Sainsbury’s is recalling a number of their products after listeria monocytogenes were found in some of their Deli Fillers range.

The Food Standards Agency have said that symptoms caused by this organism can be similar to flu and include high temperature, muscle ache or pain, chills, feeling or being sick and diarrhoea. However, in rare cases, the infection can be more severe, causing serious complications, such as meningitis.

Some people are more vulnerable to listeria infections, including those over 65 years of age, pregnant women and their unborn babies, babies less than one month old and people with weakened immune systems.
