Hi all and a warm welcome to the May update and especially those who have joined during April.

You may wish to put some specific time aside to read and digest this update!   There’s not only a mass of news & information to relay, there is also undoubtedly over the next few months some critical decisions that will be made with regards to developments throughout Trowell, Awsworth, Cossall, Kimberley, Nuthall etc.
I touch on some of these developments below.

Feedback always encouraged, and do also contact Andy, Mary or myself for help with personal casework.  We are only too happy to try and be of assistance.

best regards

Richard

Kimberley, Cossall, Awsworth & Trowell News Update

& Information Service – May edition 2012

1)   This is Nottingham (Nottingham Post)- reporter sugeries in Kimberley

Want to get a news story or campaign into the media?

Every Wednesday between 10am and 11am at Madhatter’s Cafe, Kimberley, Alex Britton from the Nottingham Post will be holding weekly reporter surgeries.  Essentially, you have the chance a chat with Alex (who is a great guy) and give him any stories you have for our area.

For more information you can contact Alex via e mail: Alexander.Britton@nottinghampostgroup.co.uk  phone: 0115 948 2000 ext 2551, Twitter: @adbritton

2) Kimberley Farmers Market – Saturday 5 May – Toll Bar Sq, Kimberley, 9am – 2pm

It’s the first Saturday of the month again, and we have managed to attract some more brand new traders for this Saturday.  Do come along and have a look!  Also, after requests from a number of people we are stopping open an extra hour until 2pm.

 

3)   Family Fun Day to be held at Holy Trinity Church, Kimberley,  Saturday 19 May

This is to be held from 11 am to 300 pm Music and Entertainment provided by The Charnwood Tap Clog Dancers.

Variety of stalls and games plus all day barbecue and light refreshments.

Entrance free, more information available from: cawofesobi@btinternet.com

4)  Application to opencast in Cossall & Trowell

UK Coal have now made their long trailed application to open-cast at Shortwood, Cossall. Nottingham.  The proposed development scheme is to establish a new surface mine development and carry on “associated activities” to extract approximately 1.3 million tonnes of coal, and up to 250,000 tonnes of fireclay.  This would be set to take place if approved over approximately a 5 year time scale (extraction period).   UK Coal say that restoration of agriculture, woodland, nature conservation would mean that overall site duration would be approximately 6 years.  Full detailed information and how to appeal can be found at:

http://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/home/environment/planningmatters/developmentcontrol/planning-applications/applications-detail.htm?id=5540

Public consultation seems set to end on 31 May and comments can be sent via the information at the link above or by letter to:

Nottinghamshire County Council, Development Management, Trent Bridge House, Fox Road, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 6BJ.

Mary, Andy and myself along with North West Broxtowe Labour Party will be formally opposing any plans to open cast on this site, as we believe some of the most beautiful countryside in Nottinghamshire in Cossall, will be destroyed for ever.

Various public meetings are being planned during May.  If you would like to help campaign in any way and get involved, please let Andy, Mary or myself know as soon as possible.  Also if you would be liked to be kept informed of when the public meetings are, let us know also.

To help manage the responses (there are now over 820) on this e mail list, please mark in the subject line – “Opposition to Open Cast in Cossall”.

 

5)   Local job opportunity

I’ve never advertised jobs for local companies previously, but after receiving another request last week, I’ve decided to give it a go.  If anyone does apply, please mention to Becky where you saw the advert (I get no commission!) just helps judge the effectiveness of the advertising!

Here goes: Trainee Fashion Commercial/Sales Manager

The vacancy is permanent, full time.  Salary £12,500 – £15,000 basic, plus generous bonus for achieving targets.   University leaver to start at £12,500 unless they had great prior work experience.

Contact details to apply:

Rebecca Gray

Fresh Cargo, Unit 5 G, Bestwood Business Park, Park Road, Bestwood Village, Nottingham, NG6 8TQ

Tel: 0115 979 4029

E-Mail: becky@freshcargo.co.uk

They would  like a CV and covering letter ideally emailed, but can be posted with a closing date of 31^st May.

 

6) Citizens Focus Group (CFG)

A huge thanks to everyone who attended on Monday evening at the Nelson and Railway.  We have an excellent discussion about housing allocations in Broxtowe, the background to the various strategies and the likely affect on nearby communities – ie Trowell, Cossall, Awsworth, Eastwood, Kimberley.

We had Steffan Saunders Planning Policy Manager from Broxtowe BC talk to us, and I’ve had really positive feedback from those who attended.

The next CFG is likely to be June (May is manic), and I’ll let you know the date in due course.

 

7)   Broxtowe Borough Council – Housing & Planning Strategy – 2011 – 2028

I’ve seen a lot of rubbish that has already been written by this, notably by Anna Soubry MP who has taken it upon herself (with no prior experience of local government), to scaremonger people and pass on inaccurate information about the council’s planning process and housing strategy.  For example I have received e mails and phone calls from people in various parts of Kimberley asking about posters that have been put up stating that house building is going to decimate the area.

The actual position is (and I can confirm this after Cabinet meeting at Broxtowe last night) that no final decision has been made on either the numbers of houses to be built (across the whole of the borough), and to be included in the council’s Core Strategy to 2028, or where actually these will be.

Meetings of the Borough Council during May will determine the Council’s position, following which full consultation will take place.

Anyone wanting further definitive information or clarification should e mail: dpcd@broxtowe.gov.uk and mark the subject line Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy – Publication

 

8)  Kimberley Miners’ Welfare Building

I visited the owners of the shop (to locals previously known as Buxton’s) on Gilt Hill, to lend our support to the campaign against building of a convenience store on the previous Kimberley Miners Welfare site.   I’ve got a petition to present to Full Council at Broxtowe this month (not opposing the flats), but the shop which we, along with around 500 local residents feel is not necessary and will cause significant additional traffic problems on Eastwood Road.

I have asked for the planning application for the whole site to be referred for a committee decision (as opposed to delegated powers).  This will take place in June.

If you oppose the building of the additional convenience store, you are welcome to do so.  We cannot oppose simply on the grounds that another convenience store would be built (permission for this change of use is already allowed), however factors such as traffic problems can certainly be taken into account in making legitimate complaint and opposition.

To make your complaint please e mail direct: pabc@broxtowe.gov.uk – marking in the subject line – Opposition to Convenience Store at Kimberley Miners Welfare site.    This should be done by no later than 29 May.

A press article relating to the campaign is highlighted below.

http://www.thisisnottingham.co.uk/Residents-start-petition-shop-flats-plans/story-15978428-detail/story.html

 

9)   Knowle Lane Play Equipment project

I’ve received information from Rose Perkins at Groundwork Trust that work on Knowle Lane could start with contractors on site by June.

For more information and for details of the plans (if you have not already had chance to see them – they are very good), please contact Rose:

Kimberley, Cossall, Awsworth & Trowell News Update

& Information Service – April edition 2012

1)   Rumbletums & now as well now Rumbletots

I’d like to give a plug for Rumbletums – especially for those who are new to the area and do not know of the work that happens here.

They are situation on the corner of Victoria Street and Newidgate Street.  Rumbletums is a registered charity offering work experience opportunities to young people with a learning disability.

They serve lunch, light snacks, home-made cakes and a wide variety of coffees between 10am and 3pm every Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

There are also other events scheduled too.  For example on 14 April there is a a movie themed quiz night.  It will be accessible for all abilities and starts at 7 30pm.  Cost is £2 pounds and £1 pound for a hot dog.

Rumbletots

Also – under a new initiative there is now Rumbletots.   This is a Parent/Carer and Toddler group which takes place every Tuesday during term time from 1pm to 3pm at the cafe.  Entry is free and we offer a special deal of coffee and cake for £2.50.

More information on any of the above can be obtained by telephone on 0115 9384953 or by e mailing Dawn Pillar – dawn.pillar@ntlworld.com or Jeff Buck –  jeff.buck2768@btinternet.com

2)   Kimberley Farmers Market – Saturday 7 April - Toll Bar Sq, Kimberley, 9am – 2pm

I’ve been very busy along  during march along with other members of the Farmers Market committee, visiting nearby Farmers Markets in Derbyshire and getting new ideas and inviting new traders.

We experienced some problems in March due to several stallholders being unable to attend due to illness, however we should have a really varied range of traders on Saturday including fruit and veg.

We’ve also attracted some brand new traders and are really looking forward to this Saturday’s market.  We’ve now got additionally Savoury eggs and smoked products, jewellery, plus a new bread and cake stall.

What’s more especially for the children we’ve got Face Painting and an Easter Egg Hunt.

Do come along and bring youngsters for what should be a fun day!   Then to top it all, someone who you may know is dressing up as an Easter Bunny – something not to be missed.

3)   Meetings with Trent Barton re T1 Replacement Bus Service

Mary, Andy and myself together with Lydia Ball are doing what we can to urgent Trent Barton to accommodate part of the route that the T1 between Ilkeston and Phoenix Park covered.

By way of brief background the T1 Phoenix Flyer ceased operating last year and we have been trying to encourage Anna Soubry MP to come on board to help us fight the case locally.  We did managed to secure one meeting with her last year, and then subseuqently heard nothing back in terms of future support.

We took it into our own hands to arrange a meeting and last Thursday 29 March Lydia, Andy and Mary met with Trent Barton representatives to press the case for a link up to the Tram Stop at Phoenix Park.

I’m told that Trent Barton are going away to consider extending some of their services into Phoenix Park to link up with the tram.  When we receive more information back from Trent Barton with any firm proposals we’ll let you know.

4)   Oxylane Sports Village

Thanks to all of you who responded with views and questions on this matter.  I think I’ve replied to everyone.  With over 820 people on the e mail list (and taking into account I reach a milestone of 50 on Wednesday), I do occasionally have a “senior moment” – so forgive me if I missed anyone.  Do contact me again if I failed to respond.

The overwhelming majority of responses (97%) were in favour of the Oxylane development.  Some key questions were raised for example on traffic and transport related issues and of the possible effect on future applications within the greenbelt.

As I speak there’s no official planning application been made yet.  When there is I will make a full response and submission, taking into account all of the points that people have raised.

As soon as there is any more public information available I will let you know.  You can also check out the Oxylane website: http://oxylanevillage-broxtowe.co.uk/

5)   Citizens Focus Group (CFG)

Yes, for those of you who were not aware – our local CFG made the BBC1 Politics show on 11 March.  Filmed in the Nelson and Railway – we discussed fuel prices, and e petitions.  We received a big thank you from the BBC for being so accommodating and debating so well!  Thank you to all that came along.

Our next session (open to all) is on Monday 30 April – at 7 30pm, again at the Nelson & Railway.   Please do come along and be prepared to have your say, and join in the conversation.

What we discussed at previous sessions (and the background to the CFG) can be found by visiting www.richardsrobinson and clicking on the link to Blog.

It’s been suggested for our next meeting we discuss law and order, however if you have something else you would like to discuss as well, do let me know beforehand.

6)   Opencast proposals in Cossall

Andy has been in touch with UK Coal today to try and ascertain exactly what their intentions and timescale are with regards to opencasting.

North West Broxtowe Labour Party has made a firm commitment to resolutely opposing the Open Cast Proposals in Cossall.  We opposed the plans before over 10 years ago, but we are under no illusion that UK Coal are determined to press ahead with their plans.  If you would like to join the local campaign against Open Casting – please contact Andy – details given above.

7)   Broxtowe Women’s Project

Are looking for a volunteer for a couple of hours a week between April and June.

Their children and young person’s worker, Penny, will be delivering healthy relationship sessions and will need assistance from the  volunteer.  The volunteer will be supporting Penny in various ways – helping with planning and evaluating the sessions, writing up the things being discussed by the young people during the session, giving out handouts, managing the DVD player and taking part in discussions (if this is what is within the plan and the volunteer feels comfortable about this).

The sessions will take place at schools in the Eastwood area, usually on a Monday.  They will last for about one hour.  There will be a need to have some time before sessions to plan and some time after to evaluate. The times to do these can be negotiated if it’s not possible to do them on the same day as the session. Travel costs will be paid for by Broxtowe Women’s Project.

Annhanced CRB would be necessary - but there is no charge.

If you would like more information please contact

E: enquiries@broxtowewomensproject.org.uk

W: www.broxtowewomensproject.org.uk

T: 01773 718555

8)   In brief

a) I’ve spoken further last week with traders at Giltbrook Retail Park regarding the cinema idea and  I am now awaiting further information back and will let you know when something more concrete by way of proposals is available.

b) Andy, Mary and myself have received a number of complaints about the way the County Council, without consultation is moving bus stops in a number of locations in Kimberley, with a number of unhelpful consequences – especially in the Hardy Street area and in the vicinity of the Hama Medical Centre.

We’ve asked the County Council to review their actions.   With regards to Hardy Street, Mary is following a separate matter up regarding parking.

c)  Residents on Babbington Lane have been in touch concerned about the possible re-routing of a public footpath near the Queen Adelaide.  I’ve written to the County Council asking for more information (and to date have had no response).

Hi all

A warm welcome to December’s newsletter.  This month’s edition is a wee bit shorter; I’m currently waiting responses on a number of initiatives including Cinema in Kimberley.  I think people have their minds on other things, approaching the Christmas season!

Can I take this opportunity to wish all readers a happy and peaceful Christmas and healthy new New Year.

Thanks to all for your continued feedback, comment and support during the past 12 months, without all of this it would make the job of being a councillor a lot harder!

I’m sure there will be lots of challenges for 2012, and I’m certainly looking forward to them.

We’ll be back in January with the next newsletter.

As ever, if you need help or advice on anything including personal casework, do let Andy, Mary or myself know, and don’t wait until January to get in touch!

best regards

Richard

Kimberley, Cossall, Awsworth & Trowell News Update

 & Information Service – December edition 2011

1)   Kimberley Farmers Market – Saturday 3 December plus extra Christmas market on Saturday 17 December

It’s the first Saturday of the month again on Saturday, which means it’s Kimberley Farmers market.   We’ve got a free prize draw – with a chance to win a luxury hamper. 

We’ve also got a special additional Christmas market on Saturday 17 December.

The markets are held at Toll Bar Square, Kimberley and run between 9am and 1pm.

Do come along and support your local market!

2) Citizens Focus Group

After talking a resident in Cossall during October, I came up with the idea of setting up a Citizens Focus Group.  Essentially what I’d like to do is see whether we can establish a group of say up to 20 people (more if necessary) in the area who would like to meet up informally once every 2 months and disucss practical politics (looking at probably more national issues though).  I get a lot of comments from people a whole host of issues including immigration, social services, energy, education, transport, housing, NHS, employment and IT. 

The idea would be is that we would find a particular subject to discuss on each occasion, and exchange views and individual expertise.  If we then come up with a practical proposal, we can send this to the appropriate body to be considered as a policy option.

I’m happy for people of varying (and of no) political persuasion to get involved, and really hope that this can be a real “grassroots” way of involving people in positive politics again.  I’m sure whilst we will never always agree on everything we can enjoy a robust discussion, and even have some fun in the meantime.

The idea would be to start in January and meet at The Nelson & Railway, on a two-monthly basis, as indicated above.

If you are interested in getting involved, please drop me a line, and we can get this set up for the first meeting in January 2012.

3)   Rumbletums

4)    D H Lawrence Heritage now open on Saturdays

Visitors to Eastwood’s Durban House and D H Lawrence Birthplace Museum can now celebrate the town’s most famous son all weekend after Saturday opening hours were introduced for the first time in October.

D H Lawrence Heritage is a multi-award winning visitor attraction based around two highly-acclaimed sites including the Birthplace Museum and Durban House Heritage Centre.

The attraction brings together a Museum, Heritage Centre, Gift Shop, Team Shop, Art Gallery and meeting room.

For full information please contact D H Lawrence Heritage on 01773 717353, culture@broxtowe.gov.uk or visit www.dhlawrenceheritage.org

5)   Car Boot Sale at Kimberley Parish Hall, Newdigate Street

Kimberley Town council are holding an Indoor car boot sales on Saturday 3 December  between 10am and 12 noon.

More information available from from Cllr Dot Saxton dotsaxton@virginmedia.com

6)    Keeping up Appearances Grant Scheme (Broxtowe Borough Council)

The Keeping up Appeareances Grant Scheme was a very popular scheme designed to improve retail and commercial properities across the borough.  What it did was to contribute up to £2000 (50% matched funded) to the costs of extrernal improvements and repairs.

I know of several shops and businesses in Kimberley that previously benefited from this scheme, with improvements to shop windows etc.

Despite the exceedingly tough financial restraints facing the council (and having to temporarily withdraw the scheme) at the Cabinet meeting of 8 November  a new scheme has been approved allowing £13,000 to be bid for by local businesses across the borough.

If you have a local business in Broxtowe and are interested in bidding for the funding, please get in touch and I can send you all of the appropriate details.

Hi all

A warm welcome to all those that have joined during the last four weeks.

There’s a lot of information and news been brought to my attention recently so I thought I’d better issue another newsletter now rather than leave it until the end of the month.  Also some local events happening next week too.

As ever, if you need help or advice on anything including personal casework, do let Andy, Mary or myself know.

best regards

Richard

Kimberley, Cossall, Awsworth & Trowell News Update

 & Information Service –mid October edition 2011

1)   Information event for local residents

On Wednesday 26 October at the Parish Hall, on Newdigate Street Kimberley between 1pm and 3pm representatives of various organisations incuding the Pensions Service, Healthy Homes, Broxtowe Borough Council, local Community Health Service will be holding a roadshow and information session.

You will be able to ask questions and get advice from professionals on a wide range of subjects.

More information is available from Jayne Fletcher –  0115 917 3657 – Communities Officer – Broxtowe Borough Council – jayne.fletcher@broxtowe.gov.uk

 

2)  Ryan Lee Trust – Beauty & Pamper Evening

The Ryan Lee Trust Charity  is holding a Beauty & Pamper Evening on Wednesday 26 October at Kettlebrook Lodge, Kimberley.  Ladies – probably one for you!

Doors open to the public at 7 30pm.

There will be a wide range of treatments available with beautician and hairdressers offering their services alongside cake, chocolates wine and a pay bar.

Many of you may already know about the Ryan Lee Trust which provides support, vital equipment and assistance for children and their families diagnosed with a terminal or life threatening illness.  It was set up by Kimberley residents Shaun & Debbie Lee last year following the tragic death of their teenage son Ryan.

More information available from Deb Lee -  ryanleetrust@btinternet.com or

0797 6737 331

 

3) Kimberley Road, Nuthall – proposed removal of bus lane

I’ve been approached by a number of residents who are concerned at the County Council’s proposals to remove the bus lane betweeen Larkfield Road and St Patrick’s Church Nuthall.

If you click on this link: C:\Users\Richard Robinson\Desktop\xfer\bx folder\scan0003.jpg  (I’ve tried it and I think it works!) – if not let me know and I can send you the information separately.

Essentially the County Council are claiming that by removing the bus lane and instead placing hatching and pedestrian refuges, it will make it both safer by reducing speed and promoting safety.

Immediate responses I have had from residents have suggested otherwise!

If you would like to comment, you can send me your details and I am happy to pass them on.  Alternatively you can e mail direct nick.gibson@nottscc.gov.uk by 14 November.

 

 4)  T1 Bus Service

The service stopped running last week and Andy, Mary and myself sought to gain the support of Anna Soubry MP to see whether any other bus company would be prepared to replicate the T1 route all the way from Ilkeston through to Phoenix Park.

The three of us plus Cllr Lydia Ball from Awsworth met Anna Soubry last Friday and she agreed to contact Trent Barton to see if the 27 service can be changed to accommodate the whole of the route that the T1 ran. 

If this happens this would no doubt benefit people in the Cliff Blvd, Hardy Street area – as the 27 currently services people here.

Once more information is available I’ll let you know.

(thanks to all of you who have been in touch during the past couple of weeks on this matter).

 

5)   Lorry watch – Hardy Street, Maws Lane, High Spannia -Kimberley

Many of you in the Kimberley area have raised concerns about the amount of Heavy Goods Vehicle traffic using the Cliff Boulevard, Maws Lane, Hardy Street etc area for some time.

Andy, Mary and myself were pleased when the County Council finally agreed to take some action to try and deter the frequency of HGV.  You may have seen the signage that has been put in place in a number of locations.  I reported a couple of months back about the additional general plans the County Council were putting in place.

Following recent complaints of HGV not adhering to the new guidelines I approached the County Council again and they’ve sent information on a lorry watch scheme.

Please see

http://www3.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/atoz/l/lorries-weight-limits/

and also -

http://www3.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/travelling/roads/traffic-management/bridges-lorries-and-abnormal-loads/lorry-watch/

The lorry watch scheme is one that is designed to encourage residents who reside in an area affected by breaches of a weight restriction, to report any such breaches to the County Council, so that can then use the information supplied appropriately, such as to plan an enforcement day.

I understand a lorry watch scheme requires ‘setting up’, which may or may not be feasible, dependent on various factors.  However we don’t have to have a lorry watch scheme in order to report possible breaches.  This can done by filling out the form at

http://www3.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/travelling/roads/traffic-management/bridges-lorries-and-abnormal-loads/lorry-watch/

If you want any more information on a lorry watch scheme – please contact

 

6)   Rumbletums

The café has been set up to offer training and work experience opportunities to young adults with learning disabilities. It is a not-for-profit social enterprise and is run entirely by volunteers, many of them parents of disabled youngsters.

All of the food served at the café is made on the premises and it’s already gained a reputation for excellent cakes and coffee.

Rumbletums is currently open from 10.00 to 3.00 on Friday and Saturday with Thursday opening coming at the beginning of November. It is hoped that the café will be open on five or six days a week from the start of the New Year.

More information is available from jeff.buck2768@btinternet.com

 

7)   Christmas Light Switch on Kimberley – Friday 18 November – Toll Bar Square

 

Organised by the local town council, this is taking place this year I’m told between approximately 5 30 and 8 30pm – lights switch on at 7 00pm with carol singers accompanying.

 

8)    Cinema complex for Giltbrook Retail Park or Kimberley Brewery site?

I’ve received several enquiries this week one from people wanting to see a cinema complex on one of the two sites above.  The other was on behalf of an organisation wanting a heritage museum and education centre for the history of the ambulance services in Nottinghamshire (this was specifically for the brewery site).

I’ve passed all of the requests onto the owners of the respective sites. 

A year or so back there were some enquiries about a cinema complex – I passed these on, and it was not considered feasible at the time.  I find it interesting though that there’s a renewed interest now in this. 

I’d like to gauge a wider feeling from local residents.  What would be your thoughts on such a development?  Would this work on the Retail Park or the Brewery Site?  Do send in your views, and then Andy, Mary and myself can feed this back further to the respective parties.

 

9)   White Ribbon Campaign

I’ve been asked by Broxtowe Women’s Project to pass on the following information:

………..Calling out for volunteers!

I am Michelle the Information & Support Worker for Broxtowe Women’s Project Ltd. I am responsible for the co-ordination of our displays and publicity. My main role for the White Ribbon Campaign is to raise awareness and distribute information in our local community during the campaign period which is from 25^th November to 10^th December each year.

This year we have booked a place in the foyer of Sainsbury’s supermarket in Kimberley for Thursday 1^st December from 10am to 3pm.  We are asking for support from anyone committed to raising awareness of domestic violence to assist with staffing the stall.  This could be for as little as an hour, or more than this if you can spare the time.  Our staff will be involved on a rota basis, so the stall will be staffed by BWP at all times, but we would love to have a multi-agency approach!  It will involve standing by our mobile display, and encouraging anyone approaching the stall to take some information and wear a white ribbon in support of the campaign. We are particularly keen to raise awareness among men and boys. 

 ‘Wear a white ribbon, to pledge that you will never commit, condone or remain silent about violence against women. The reason for this is that if a young man sees that his role model condemns violence against women, then he is likely to follow suit’

If you are not familiar with The White Ribbon Campaign below is a little information:

In 1991, a handful of men in Canada decided they had a responsibility to urge men to speak out against violence against women. They decided that wearing a white ribbon would be a symbol of men’s opposition to men’s violence against women. After only six weeks preparation, as many as one hundred thousand men across Canada wore a white ribbon many others were drawn into discussion and debate on the issue of men’s violence. There are now White Ribbon Campaigns operating in many countries around the world.

The UK Branch of WRC was started in 2004.

Each year, we urge men and boys to wear a ribbon for one or two weeks, starting on November 25, the International Day for the Eradication of Violence Against Women

By all means if you have any queries on the above or wish to put your name down to support our stall then please do get in touch with myself (Michelle) via admin line: 01773 718555 or

Email: enquiries@broxtowewomensproject.org.uk
