Protest group to voice objections to Willow Farm housing plans at public meeting

Protest group to voice objections to Willow Farm housing plans at public meeting
A protest group fighting plans to build 110 new homes on nearby land in their village will meet with a government inspector next week to voice their objections to proposals.

The Willow Farm Action Group was formed after plans to build the new homes on land in Gedling village featured in Gedling Borough Council’s Local Planning Document – which was published last year.

The document sets out the council’s plans for growth and development in the borough up to 2028.

Included in the proposals were the plans to construct 110 new homes on green-belt land near Willow Farm Primary School in the village.

The document was submitted to the secretary of state at the start of the examination process last year and an independent planning inspector was appointed to conduct a public examination into proposals.

The examination process begins on Tuesday, February 7 and as part of the process, the inspector will hold round-table discussions with members of the public who will be given the opportunity to voice their concerns.

The action group now plan to attend these sessions and have their say.

PROTEST: Willow Farm Action Group object to housing plans on green-belt land in Gedling village

Philip Oddie, from the Willow Farm Action Group, said: “Our local residents feel under siege from the volume of road building and house building projects, which are set to transform our green landscape and inflict many years of noise and disturbance on us and we welcome the opportunity to attend the public examination to discuss the very serious concerns of local residents to these proposals’.

“Our residents do not feel that these proposals will improve their lives, believing that the Willow Farm development will, in fact, have a very negative impact on them, their families and the character of Gedling Village.”

Back in November a council spokesperson told Gedling Eye: “The borough has a challenging housing target of 7,250 new homes to deliver by 2028 and this cannot be delivered without the use of greenbelt sites.

“We have gone through a rigorous site selection process to identify sites, including the Willow Farm site.

“The concerns raised by residents about Willow Farm during the consultation stage earlier in the year have been carefully considered.  All comments received have been passed to the Planning Inspector who is now examining the Local Planning Document.

“As part of this process, hearing sessions will take place. This process will allow for people to voice any issues or concerns they have to an independent Inspector who will then decide if the plan should be adopted.”

ELAINE BOND: Recognise these symptoms? You may be stressed

ELAINE BOND: Recognise these symptoms? You may be stressed

Stress is quite a complex reaction to emotions and experiences in your life: your body reacts to situations in your life by releasing chemicals into your blood stream, including adrenaline and cortisol, to get your body ready to react to the perceived ‘threat’.

Your heart will beat faster, your muscles tighten and your senses heighten.  Your reaction time is enhanced, you can focus better and your stamina is increased. You are ready for action! You have entered the ‘fight or flight mode’ and your body is ready to protect you from the danger. It’s called mobilisation and is an automatic reaction programed in humans originally to keep us safe from Saber-Toothed Tigers.

It’s actually good for you at the right level; enough stress will protect you from the driver who slams on their brakes in front of you, it is the hormones that make us react quickly and stop. It’s good for those nasty job interviews or revising or exams or work presentations.

But when you are constantly stressed or when you find your ‘flight or fight’ response too strong you can become ill. Constant stress affects all parts of your body, IBS is common is mostly caused by stress, you may catch every cold and bug going as your immune system slows down. Women’s reproductive cycle and fertility becomes affected, your blood pressure increases, you age quicker and the likelihood of a stroke is increased. Add to that the fact that your existing conditions will worsen especially depression, skin conditions, sleep issues and ability to remember things.

Constant stress is bad for us.

There are so any reasons you feel stressed and just to be confusing different people are stressed by different things. Big events often cause stress like moving, bereavement, changing jobs even the positive events create stress, have you arranged a wedding? Then you’ll know!

You also create your own stress by magnifying your worries, being a perfectionist and having a critical inner voice constantly pulling you down.

Sometimes you don’t know you are stressed, it’s just how life is right? Well if any of these symptoms apply to you…. You may be stressed

  • Negativity
  • Worrying
  • Unhappiness
  • Anxiety
  • Feeling overwhelmed
  • Changes in eating habits too much or too little
  • Using alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs to relax
  • Aches and pains
  • Diarrhoea or constipation
  • Chest pains or rapid heartbeat

So if you have all the symptoms but stress has become a part of your life and you don’t know why the NHS suggests you make a record of the following –

  • The date, time and place of a stressful episode
  • what you were doing
  • who you were with
  • how you felt emotionally
  • what you were thinking
  • what you started doing
  • how you felt physically
  • a stress rating (0-10 where 10 is the most stressed you could ever feel)

(http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/stress-anxiety-depression/Pages/understanding-stress.aspx)

After a week or two what triggers your stress will start to stand out, it could be a time of day, a person, an event or plain overload.

The easiest way to deal with stress is to remove the trigger but realistically most the time that isn’t going to happen. Things like being overworked or relationship issues can be challenged if you chose to talk about them with the appropriate person.

The easiest way to deal with stress is to remove the trigger but realistically most the time that isn’t going to happen. Things like being overworked or relationship issues can be challenged if you chose to talk about them with the appropriate person.

But you can take control of a situation, split up the problem into smaller steps (easier of you write it down). Come up with as many solutions as you can (no matter how far-fetched), then read it back, find the best solutions and make a plan of who, how, where and when you will tackle them.

A great tip is taking really good care of yourself when you are stressed. Avoid, or reduce, your consumption of nicotine and any drinks containing caffeine and alcohol. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and so they increase stress and some of its physical symptoms. Alcohol works both ways in small amounts it is a stimulant but in large amounts it is a major depressant.

Eat well; avoid junk food and sugars, no matter how comforting they feel for a few minutes, ultimately they cause a spike in blood sugar and then a crash, taking all your energy with them.

Get some exercise but make it something you enjoy, the ‘fight or flight’ reaction gets your body ready to defend itself when it usually doesn’t need to. Physical exercise can be used to reduce the excessive stress hormones and restore your body and mind to a better, calmer and more rational state.

Make sure you get some sleep; look at ways of calming down before you go to bed to stop stress waking you up at 3am. Get a sleep routine, the same time every night, stay away from caffeine during the evening. Stop doing any mentally demanding work several hours before going to bed so that you have time to relax and start to calm. A warm bath or reading a calming, undemanding book helps you relax and tire your eyes before going to bed. Stop using social media, TV etc. a couple of hours before you go to bed. You-Tube has some great sleep relaxation videos you can use before going to bed.

Say no to additional stress whenever you can, don’t go to that party if you are tired, manage your time, and write to do lists if they help.

Check out the mind website for more tips –

Finally if none of this works talk to someone, a friend or relative, your manager if its work related or try counselling. Stress does not have to rule your life.

New laws to combat ‘backstreet dog breeders’ in Gedling borough

New laws to combat ‘backstreet dog breeders’ in Gedling borough
The sale of puppies under eight weeks old is to be made illegal under plans to crack down on so-called backstreet breeders in Gedling borough.

Tougher dog breeding licensing rules will make it completely illegal to sell puppies younger than eight weeks and require anyone breeding and selling three or more litters of puppies a year will have to apply for a formal licence.

Irresponsible breeders who don’t stick to these rules face an unlimited fine and/or up to six months in prison.

The new rules will mean smaller establishments – sometimes called ‘backstreet breeders’ – which supply thousands of dogs to families each year, as well as larger commercial breeders, must meet strict welfare criteria to get a licence. Irresponsible breeders can neglect the health and welfare of the puppies they raise and may not properly vaccinate them, leading to steep vets’ bills and heartbreak for buyers.

The plans also cover how pet shops, boarding houses and riding stables are licensed, introducing a single ‘animal activities licence’ to improve the process and make enforcement easier.

NEW LAWS: It will be illegal to sell puppies under eight weeks old.

Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom said: Everyone who owns a pet or is looking to introduce one into their life will want to know that the animal has had the very best start to life. Yet for thousands of puppies born each year to irresponsible breeders, from smaller operations to larger puppy farms, their first weeks are spent in cramped and squalid conditions without the care and attention they need. That is why we are cracking down on the worst offenders by strengthening the dog breeding licence and giving councils the power they need to take action.

“With more and more pet sales now taking place on the internet, it’s right that this market is subject to the same strict licensing criteria as other breeders and pet shops so that consumers are not misled. The plans announced today will help people choosing new family pets to be confident the animals have been properly bred and cared for from birth and are ready to move safely to their new homes.”

Under the new plans, pet shops will also be required to give buyers written information about the animals they buy, with details of the five welfare needs owners must meet under the Animal Welfare Act around environment, diet, behaviour, housing and freedom from pain. This advice is particularly important when buying exotic pets, which can have very specific welfare needs.

Welcoming the plans, Dogs Trust Veterinary Director, Paula Boyden, also welcomed the new plans

She said: As the UK’s largest dog welfare charity, Dogs Trust welcomes the Government’s review of animal establishments licensing in England and the range of measures it sets out.

“We are particularly pleased that it will be illegal to sell a puppy below the age of 8 weeks and that there will be tighter licensing rules which will require sellers of pets to display their licence when advertising. We also applaud the move towards a risk based single licensing system which will incorporate those breeders that have gained UKAS approval rather than exempting them.

We believe that Local Authority Inspectors need support to enforce these tighter licensing rules. As such, moves to mandate the use of Model Conditions and for inspectors to be offered training and standards to be set is most welcome.”

 

MATCH REPORT: Keyworth United 0 – 4 Linby CWFC

MATCH REPORT: Keyworth United 0 – 4 Linby CWFC
Linby were able to come away from a soggy Keyworth with all three points after two goals in each half sealed a hard fought victory, writes Kieran Booker

A double for Aidy Harris, a Kye Pilmore strike and a late Gary Atkins penalty helped the side continue their impressive unbeaten start to 2017.

It was the home side who started the strongest as Linby had to contend with a blinding sunlight, first half incline and a towering defence which led to an unusually slow start by the visiting players. Even so, Lewis Weaver had the first chance of the game when he raced around the keeper with less than a minute played before seeing his shot cleared out for a corner.

At the other end, Keyworth’s Patrick Sneath nearly got his side the opener after he attempted an audacious lob of Jamie Davies. His quickly taken free kick from the half way line flew inches over the Linby goalkeeper’s crossbar.

The home side started to control the possession as the first half went on but without properly troubling Davies. Beau Brady had his sides best chances but could only see his free header in the box flick wide after connecting to a long range free kick.

With 34 minutes gone, it was Linby who managed to pull themselves ahead. A diagonal ball from the right was met by Mitchell Slawson on the left wing, he was able to dart the ball back into the centre where it was brought down and buried home by Kye Pilmore.

Richard Whyman tried to get his side a quick response but his curling effort from the edge of the box flew just over Davies’ goal.

With the half coming to an end, the early troubling sunlight was quickly substituted for a heavy rain shower. The weather didn’t stop Linby though who was able to double their lead just before the break. Captain Aidy Harris was able to produce an incredible Cruyff turn on the penalty spot before smashing the ball home.

It took less than 8 minutes of the second half for Linby to get themselves a third. Lewis Weaver was able to weave his way through the defence down the left wing, it was eventually played to his captain who managed to fire home with his shot bouncing in off of the right post.

Luke Burrell thought he had got his side a goal back after breaking through and sliding a shot past Jamie Davies into the right corner but unfortunately the linesman had already put his flag up for offside.

Linby were able to seal the victory from the spot as they were awarded a penalty with 9 minutes to go. Lewis Weaver had initially rounded the keeper but could only see his shot bounce back to him off the post, as the winger attempted another go he was clipped. Gary Atkins stepped up and calmly slotted the ball home from 12 yards.

After the game Lewis Saxby said “It was a scrappy performance, I don’t think we played particularly well in the first half but we held on and saw the game through to a victory.  It’s good to see our early good run of form in 2017 continue and if it carries on we can hopefully finish in a top 6 place.”

Grants up for grabs to groups wanting to celebrate International Women’s Day

Councillors in Gedling borough are encouraging local community and voluntary groups to mark International Women’s Day (IWD) by hosting local events.

The Elected Members Community Initiatives Fund has set aside a pot of £2000 to help groups mark the occasion on Tuesday, March 8.

Last year groups such as the Mansfield Women’s institute, New Writers UK and Nottingham Soroptimists used the money to host events such as a craft fair, writing workshops and tree planting.

This year’s theme is ‘Be Bold For Change’, but proposals to cover the cost of any activities that support and celebrate women’s roles and rights in society are welcome.

GRANTS UP FOR GRABS: President of Nottingham City WI Sarah Manton and Cllr Roxanne Ellis from Gedling Borough Council took part in a tree planting to mark International Women’s Day last year. 

To qualify for funding events or activities must be delivered within Gedling borough during March 2016 under the banner of the Gedling Borough Council International Women’s Day event programme.

Councillor Roxanne Ellis, who’s leading the promotion of IWD said: “We’re really encouraging residents to celebrate International Women’s Day and we hope that offering funding can help community groups make that happen. As a council we’re keen to promote equality and it would be great to see our residents celebrating this too.”

If you want to get involved email Jane Ansell, Community Investment Manager via jane.ansell@gedling.gov.uk with details of what the activity is, when and where it is happening, who it is designed to benefit, how it links to IWD, why you want the funding, if you have any other funding for the event and who would be responsible for delivering the event.

The deadline to apply is Wednesday 15 February 2017.

Closure-threatened Mapperley community centre could now be saved
A community centre under threat from closure could now be saved after hundreds of residents came out to show their support for a campaign to keep it open.

Haywood Road community centre in Mapperley was at risk of closure as Gedling Borough Council faced yet more funding cuts from central government. But after consulting local residents and receiving offers of support to take over the centre, it is now proposed that the Council not only keeps it open but also contributes to its improvement.

A report to be considered by Gedling’s Cabinet recognises the lack of alternative community facilities nearby and the potential to expand on the activities currently offered at the centre, which includes a thriving pre-school.

The adjacent bowling green, which has not been used since October 2016, is proposed to be sold for a small housing development but, after meeting residents last night, (Thursday 27) the Council said they would consider any future propositions from the community if it can satisfy the Council’s financial requirements.

SAVED: Haywood Road Community Centre in Mapperley

Leader of the Council John Clarke said “We’re approaching a decade of year on year funding cuts with £3.5 million more to find by 2020. This means exploring all kinds of options, many of which we’d prefer not to. I thank all those who have taken the time and trouble to respond to the consultation and offered to get involved.

“The Council welcomes the positive offer from people in the community to take on the future running of the centre and improve the offer. This is a really good opportunity for the community to work with us to bring this centre back to life.

He added: “I appreciate that some residents would want to keep the bowling green as well and if they can put together a business case that satisfies our needs then we will consider it. We have to make some difficult decisions and are doing our level best to preserve community services at the same time as balancing our books.”
