(The Final) Broxtowe News Update and Information Service

Hi all
For the last 32 years (it will be 11,680 days in total) it has been one amazing privilege to have served you as a councillor in the northern reaches of Broxtowe representing Eastwood, Kimberley (and for part of this time, Cossall, Awsworth and Trowell too).
On 4th May this year for the local elections my name will not appear on the ballot paper as after much careful reflection over the past few months, I believe it is time for me to move on and make way for others to represent you.
When I was first elected as a councillor in Broxtowe in 1991 this was in Eastwood (lovely fresh looking photo of me shown looking just a tad younger is attached).
– Also in 1991 John Major was Prime Minister (remember him)?
– There’s been 7 Prime Ministers since then (with 3 of course last year).
– Petrol was 42.4 pence a gallon.
– Freddie Mercury died.
– Unemployment stood at 1.8million.
– Forest lost 2-1 to Spurs in the FA Cup Final.
– The first British person in space, Helen Sharman launches aboard the Soviet Soyuz TM-12 mission.
-Bryan Adam’s single (Everything I Do) I Do It for You, entered its fifteenth successive week at number one in the UK singles charts, setting a world record in October.
– There was no Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Tiktok.
From 1991-1999 I was a borough councillor in Eastwood, and from 1997 – 2005 I was County Councillor for Kimberley & Trowell.
Since 2003 I have been a borough councillor in Kimberley.
The people of Kimberley in particular have become an integral part of my life for the past 20 odd years. I don’t think that there’s a road in Kimberley where I haven’t tried to help someone who has reached out for assistance.
At times during my time as a councillor I acknowledge I’ve made mistakes and at times could have done things both differently and better. For example despite all of the endeavours getting the T1 Phoenix Flyer bus service up and running, it was way too expensive, and on reflection, I could have done things rather differently.
There has huge been disappointment too at times – again I put a huge amount of work into getting a cinema at Giltbrook Retail Park – the owners showed me plans at one point of where they planned to have a cinema, but sadly it never came to fruition.
The fact that we never managed to secure the Oxylane development in the north of the borough, has been a huge blow. We would have had a state of the art (the first of its kind in the country) sports and leisure complex – that would have been a huge boost for Kimberley, Nuthall and the surrounding areas.
Sadly for the past 12 years despite working into early hours of the morning on many occasions, and representing our area in Westminster – the plans to build the tram extension to Kimberley, Eastwood & Langley Mill have hit a buffer that seems impossible to remove. A reminder of some of the work that’s gone into this can be found here:
https://richardsrobinson.org.uk/2015/02/tram-extension-line-4-phase-iii-to-kimberley-eastwood-into-amber-valley/
I am also very disappointed that the County Council have singularly failed to take any account of the work that has been undertaken to improve traffic areas in around Kimberley. So much work was done:
https://richardsrobinson.org.uk/2016/08/submission-to-nottinghamshire-council-regarding-suggested-highways-improvements-in-kimberley-swingate-and-maws-lane-areas/
yet the response from the County Council was so poor.
Of course there have been plenty of successes! Ranging from the Skateboard Park on Hall om Wong, to more play equipment on Knowle Park, Speed Cameras in Cossall, footpaths resurfaced (most recently between Broomhill Road and Chapter Drive, car parking tickets cancelled from Kimberley Precinct, Residents Parking on James Street & the Ruislip Wall finally got reduced after 10 years of trying!
Whilst I was on the former Nottinghamshire Police Authority I piloted a scheme with Kimberley Primary School to encourage closer working between the police and schools across the county to encourage greater respect and break down some of the barriers between young people and the authorities. The results of the study in Kimberley went to the Home Office to inform work they were doing at the time.
At Broxtowe Borough Council itself I’ve held several Cabinet portfolio posts and I introduced a new Flexible Working Hours scheme for staff over 20 years ago that remains in place.
This year I’ve written a nomination for the Kings Honours for a member of the community in Kimberley – I hope it’s successful.
For a while we have a successful Farmers Market in Kimberley, with a huge amount of work undertaken by Maureen Smith, Sue Cooper and others.
After much opposition we did manage to get a wind turbine in Giltbrook, that I don’t think has caused the issues that some said it would.
There remains a huge amount of work to be done in Kimberley – whether it be sorting out the traffic issues, really poor mobile ‘phone reception and regeneration of the town centre to name but a few.
I might not have been able to solve every issue in Kimberley, however it has not been for the want of trying.
There’s been the lighter side of politics too! I even ended up playing drums in front of Westlife:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQdxgXlAxY0&t=16s
I should pay a huge tribute to Milan Radulovic – a good friend and fellow councillor for the past 32 years. At times we’ve disagreed – but all good friends do so from time to time. Milan has overcome so many health issues and has been a strong leader for the council during some very difficult times.
My good friend Rev Barbara Holbrook has offered much wisdom, friendship and insight over the years. She’s not been afraid to challenge my thinking. Kimberley would be much the poorer without Barbara.
In the past Jim McDonald helped through some particularly difficult times.
My family too have put up with me working away, late nights – and have delivered leaflets in all sorts of weather at all sorts of times. They are inspirational: Laura Hargreaves Joseph Robinson Sarah Robinson
There’s people in Kimberley who aren’t on Facebook who do so much for the area who never get recognised. Elizabeth who works at the recycling centre is an amazing servant to the community, as is Bob Walker, who lives close to Alma Hill.
As a councillor I’ve been invited to Buckingham Palace and Downing Street. It’s been great to go there. Invariably though the following day I’ve been in Kimberley trying to help out with issues – from Swingate, & Coatsby Drive to Alma Hill – it’s been helping out here that I’ve enjoyed the most.
Despite failing at times I’ve always tried to be an Ambassador for the northern part of Broxtowe and put Kimberley in particular on the map. I’ve tried with varying degrees of success to make Kimberley a better place.
I still work in politics – currently my day job is as a Government Relations Consultant. I have recently re-joined the Labour Party – so there is interesting times ahead on that front.
Not being a councillor from May will free up more family time (but not for gardening however). I am sure new opportunities will arise.
We’ve not moving house, and you’ll still see me around in around Eastwood & Kimberley – I shall be watching the election results in Broxtowe on 4 May with keen interest.
On Friday 5th May – if you want to come and say Hi – I’ll be in the Miners Return from 7pm.
Keep in touch!
Best regards
Richard

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – December 2022

Hi all
Welcome to my latest newsletter.
I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very happy Christmas and peaceful New Year.
Thank you to everyone who has been in touch on a wide range of subjects of late – which I will touch upon below.
Life in local politics is certainly still eventful. Whilst I can’t claim its been quite as dramatic as happenings in Westminster (no one would have said on 3 December 2021 we’d have 3 prime ministers by 3 December 2022), there’s still plenty of work to keep me busy.
Looking back, it also seems crazy to believe that during much of last year COVID restrictions were in place. Time goes so quickly and it can be so easy to forget everything we have all been through. This graphic timeline-coronavirus-lockdown-december-2021 (1) from the Institute for Government, shows all of the lockdown measures in place for around 18 months. So much has changed in 2022.
In this update I’ll reflect a little on the past year, including some of the things I’ve been involved in locally and tried to make a positive difference.
Looking forward to 2023 I’d also like to get your views on your local priorities for Kimberley and the surrounding areas, again I’ll touch on this below.
As ever if you need help or assistance on anything, or ever want to talk through something please let me know.
The email address for me is either rrobinson.richardsrobinson@gmail.com or richard.robinson@broxtowe.gov.uk
Best regards
Richard

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – December 2022
A look back on 2022
- Thinking about December last year I recall being heavily involved in trying to help many local residents who were receiving ridiculous parking fines at the precinct in Kimberley. Thankfully all of the complaints that I received were resolved, and to the best of my knowledge there have been no further problems since then. Thanks also to Sam Boneham now a member of Kimberley Town Council, for his assistance in this matter.
- I have dealt with a number of lengthy individual planning applications this year in various areas of Kimberley. One current planning matter (Swingate) is currently at appeal stage and has been since September, with no sign of a final decision being reached yet.
- I have also been lobbied of late by a number of people concerning the proposed demolition of the stone/brick cottage standing prominently half-way up Church Hill (nos 4). I am currently in correspondence with Broxtowe borough Council and a number of local residents about this matter.
- There are ongoing problems on Eastwood Road, Kimberley with cars obstructing residents drives near the Caravan Centre.
- During the last month I have received a number of complaints regarding blocked drains and flooding around Hayley Close and Goodwin Drive. I have made various representations to Nottinghamshire County Council. It appears that there has been some success in getting drains unblocked, but there are still ongoing issues with flooding (when it rains – Goodwin Drive in particular) suffers particularly badly.
- Footpath Bridge between Chilton Drive and Flixton Road, Kimberley (it was in a poor state) – I was asked by Kimberley Town Council to take this matter up with Broxtowe Borough Council.
The picture above shows the new surface, which appears to be a big improvement.
- Of late I have also started to receive (again) after hearing very little feedback for ages, complaints about road traffic noise from the A610. This affects people in various parts of Kimberley including Laverock Close, Kimberley Close, and Dawver Road – it is residents around Hayley Close and Goodwin Drive who are particularly suffering now.
- Throughout this year I have continued to receive complaints surrounding Fairgrove and their after care service.
- I am currently dealing with an environmental health issue with regards to an empty and potentially dangerous property in Kimberley.
- During 2022 (after 7-8 years campaigning) the wall on Ruislip close was finally reduced in size, after many requests by residents being received, and numerous representations made.
- Rumbletums on the corner of Victoria Street are an absolutely brilliant asset to Kimberley. I attended their AGM last month, and am now helping them with further grant applications.
Looking ahead to 2023 – I would be particularly pleased to receive your ideas for what you would like to see by way of improvements in Kimberley and the surrounding areas. You may have any number of ideas on a range of subjects, I would be pleased to receive them, however big or small they are.
I’ll mention just a couple of things below that stand out from my perspective:
I am very aware from what’s happened this week about the utter traffic chaos that built up again in Kimberley with Swingate being gridlocked. Words are no longer enough and the County Council need to stop prevaricating, ignoring this part of Kimberley and put some meaningful measures in place to help Swingate residents.
Readers of this newsletter for the past few years may recall the very extensive work that was undertaken in 2016: https://richardsrobinson.org.uk/2016/08/submission-to-nottinghamshire-council-regarding-suggested-highways-improvements-in-kimberley-swingate-and-maws-lane-areas/
The County Council response to the above was abysmal, and I know that Cllr Sam Boneham (Kimberley Town Council is very keen to take action in the new year.
- What would you like to see happen now in order to make life easier for Swingate residents with regards to traffic problems?
There’s also the perennial problems with traffic issues along Maws Lane, Cliff Boulevard, Hardy Street etc. Many previous attempts have been made to try and improve matters. I’ve received a number of complaints lately about agitated drivers having altercations in the middle of Maws Lane.
- What would you like to see happen in this area?:
I would like to place on record my thanks to Kimberley Town Council for all of their endeavours this year, from the Memorial Service, to the Christmas Lights Switch on, and Christmas market.
Also I’d like to pay tribute to Cllr Sam Boneham for his tireless working enabling the Food Festival to take place in March.
Do send me your comments, observations, questions and moans!

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service August-November 2022
1 year ago
by Richard Robinson
in Newsletter
Hi all
Welcome to my latest newsletter.
Trust you are well.
It seems an eternity since my last local newsletter for June and July. I don’t make a habit of quoting Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, however his famous quip that there are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen seems particularly appropriate today. On 7th July Boris Johnson resigned as Prime Minister, then we had a Conservative leadership contest during the summer with Liz Truss becoming Prime Minister on 5th September – only for her to resign today as I write this 20th October. That’s around 45 days in office (less of course than Brian Clough’s 44 day spell at Leeds all those years ago).
I genuinely believed I’d witnessed most events that could ever happen in politics having worked for a number of MPs, and having been a Labour Party member for 38 years until 2019.
During the past few weeks I’ve realised again just how utterly unpredictable politics, as life can be.
Anyhow enough waffle from me, straight down to business now, plenty of local items to let you know about and discuss.
As ever if you need help or assistance on anything, or ever want to talk through something please let me know.
Please do note that the email address from which this newsletter is sent has changed to: rrobinson.richardsrobinson@gmail.com – the previous address you had – rrobinson@richardsrobinson.org.uk – no longer works.
My official Broxtowe email address remains richard.robinson@broxtowe.gov.uk

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – August – November 2022
– Should Maws Lane be made a One Way? Most current opinion appears to be No.
– County Council by Election in Eastwood.
– Maintenance of bridge on footpath from Chilton Drive to Flixton Road, Kimberley.
– Integrated Care System (ICS) Partners Assembly
– Have Your Say on Broxtowe’s Budget
– News in Brief
1) Should we look again at a One Way system for Maws Lane? Most recent opinion appears to say No.
I mentioned in my last newsletter: https://richardsrobinson.org.uk/2022/07/broxtowe-news-update-information-service-june-july-2022/ that a number of people had been asking again about the possibility of making Maws Lane One Way earlier this year.
Readers of this newsletter for the past few years may recall the very extensive work that was undertaken in 2016: https://richardsrobinson.org.uk/2016/08/submission-to-nottinghamshire-council-regarding-suggested-highways-improvements-in-kimberley-swingate-and-maws-lane-areas/
to try and establish a way forward and present arguments to the County Council for a serious programme of action to ensue.
In 2016 there appeared to be a slightly stronger body of local opinion that supported the possibility of making Maws Lane One Way.
The most recent feedback I have now had from residents however seems rather more against the idea of a One Way system than for it. To be honest what I can gather from most of the feedback is more concern about congestion along Cliff Boulevard, and the state of the roads and footpaths in this area. Happy to course to discuss further, but as it stands there does not appear to be a groundswell of support to change the flow of the traffic in this area. Please do let me have further feedback, and I would welcome any suggestions for improvements that people have.
2) County Council by-Election – Eastwood Thursday 3 November
A keenly fought by-election will take place on the above date, due to the very sad news that the incumbent Ed Cubley passed away in August.
If you live in Eastwood and require more information please click here.
The declared candidates for the election are as follows:
Conservative – Mick Brown
Independent – Kane Oliver
Labour – Milan Radulovic
Traditionally this seat was held by Labour for many years. However of late both Liberal Democrats and Conservatives have been successful in Eastwood.
It will be very interesting to see the result here, and to see if what the opinion polls show nationally is translated into a victory for Labour, against stiff local opposition.
3) Maintenance of bridge on footpath from Chilton Drive to Flixton Road, Kimberley
I have been asked by Kimberley Town Council to support the expedition of work in the above area, particularly to tidy and maintain the area.
I have contacted Broxtowe Borough Council about this, and when I have more information I will let you know.
4) Integrated Care System (ICS) Partners Assembly – Tuesday October 25 from 2-5pm
Members of the public are invited to attend the first ever Integrated Care System (ICS) Partners Assembly where you can help shape the future of health and care in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The event is being held at Mansfield Civic Centre and more information is available by clicking here.
5) Have your say on Broxtowe’s Budget
As part of its annual budget consultation, Broxtowe Borough Council is asking residents to complete a survey to show your views on services like waste and recycling, parks and leisure facilities and how you think the Council should use its budget to maintain these services. Details of how to have your say are shown by clicking here – together with information on a prize draw available.
6) News in brief
Fairgroves (FG) – I still continue to receive a large number of complaints from residents about the After Care Service offered by FG at the former Brewery Street site. I went with one resident to meet Customer Services at FG this week, alas no one was available to speak with then. Residents have had to put up with copious instances of unfinished work going back in some cases several years. I’m not sure at this point what the eventual resolution will be, but will keep you updated on progress (or otherwise).

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – June & July 2022

Hi all
Welcome to my latest newsletter.
Trust you are well.
There’s a number of important items to draw to your attention to, and I hope you find the information provided below useful.
As ever if you need help or assistance on anything, or ever want to discuss something please let me know.
Best regards

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – June & July 2022
– Aintree Close, Kimberley – highways and carriageway work.
– The Ruislip Wall – lowered but not flattened – is this a problem?
– Rain or Shine Theatre Company is back in Kimberley – this week.
– Eastwood Road, Kimberley – parking problems.
– Maws Lane, Cliff Boulevard, Hardy Street – should we look again at a one way system? And why is Swingate always ignored?
1) Aintree Close, Kimberley
Last month I was approached by residents living on Aintree Close in Kimberley to investigate why the state of the road had been left in such poor repair following recent utilities work that has been undertaken. I have made a number of enquiries, and as soon as there is more information I will let you know.
2) Ruislip Close, Kimberley
Those of you who have been subscribing my to my newsletters for the past 10 years or so will know that there have been multiple efforts to try and get the wall at Ruilsip Close flattened or at least reduced. Why was this so important to local people? I have for around 10 years now received complaints of anti-social behaviour, drug taking etc – which – due to height of wall as it was, allowed such actions to flourish. I worked alongside the police, Broxtowe Borough Council, and local residents to try and get the wall removed (ideally). After many months dealing with the police and Broxtowe Borough Council, it turned out the wall actually was the responsibility of Nottinghamshire County Council (despite prior ownership being claimed elsewhere).
The County Council in turn were originally reluctant to do anything and were being very obstructive in releasing any meaningful information.
Following further pressure from local residents we approached the County Council again – and at last the wall has now certainly been reduced in size – as those of you who live around the area will have noticed.
During the past couple of weeks I have received mixed feedback from local residents – some saying that the work that has been undertaken to reduce the wall is adequate, whilst others are not happy and want the wall reducing further.
If you have any particular views that you would like me to raise further, please let me know. I do intend visiting all the neighbouring properties during the next month – but if I miss you, do drop me a line.
3) Rain or Shine Theatre Company is back in Kimberley – Thursday 21 July – performing The Recruiting Officer
A reminder of an event taking place in Kimberley on Thursday at Kimberley Institute Cricket Club on Newdigate Street – please see details by clicking on the link:
Rain or Shine Summer 2022 Flyer.
Rain or Shine have performed several times in Kimberley previously, each one a great success.
Call Jim Dymond for more information and tickets on 0115 854 4734, email: james.dymond1@ntlworld.com
4) Eastwood Road, Kimberley
I received a large number of unsolicited requests for assistance from residents living on Eastwood Road, Kimberley in June regarding several instances where drivers in cars had been repeatedly blocking driveways. We held a site meeting on Hall om Wong Park last month to discuss the issues, and I am currently working with several organisations to try and get a resolution and positive outcome to these problems. If anyone would like any more information please let me know.
5) Should we look again at a One Way system for Maws Lane? Why is Swingate always forgotten?
It seems barely possible that it is now six years since a major consultation (lasting around 6 months) was undertaken in Kimberley to see what we could do to get better traffic flow in two particular areas – Swingate and Maws Lane.
For full information please see here:
There was a huge amount of work put in (and not just by me I might add), we had public meetings with volunteers coming forward to help with all sorts of ideas. The County Council’s response was pretty pathetic. The only concrete thing we have really seen during the past few years is a £25,000 scheme to put in bollards at the bottom of Maws Lane (only for them to be subsequently knocked down several days after being installed). To quote directly from the County Council senior officials at a site meeting I held with them alongside other Kimberley residents: “this scheme provided the quickest and cheapest option” for improvement.
Fast forward to 2022 and I have received a number of requests again for the possibility of a One Way scheme around Maws Lane, Hardy Street area to be looked at again. If you any ideas you would like to raise, whether or not you support the idea, or have other suggestions that could be looked at, I’d be really happy to hear from you.
Also – Swingate (as per usual), is totally ignored by the County Council – despite the valiant attempts by Cllr Sam Boneham (new member of Kimberley Town Council) for a number of highways improvements. The matter of Greens Lane getting blocked never gets taken seriously by the authorities. Again, if you have concerns about Swingate please let me know.
News in brief
Blocked gulleys – well it appears that some of the ones reported along Hardy Street have been cleared. If you have issues with blocked drains etc in any other area, please let me know.

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – March, April & May 2022
1 year ago
by Richard Robinson
in Newsletter
Hi all
Welcome to my latest newsletter.
Well it’s definitely been a busy old time since my last newsletter in February, personally as well of course with council work. I particularly emphasise old as I’ve now reached one of those milestones in life – becoming the grand old age of 60 earlier this month. Yes, and since you ask, I can’t actually believe it.
Nevertheless I am now a proud owner of a Senior Citizens Rail Card (which really brought my age home to me), and I am making good use of this.
Also in a bit more personal news – in March Sarah and I became grandparents for the first time. If you are friends with me on Facebook you might have noticed a subtle change of track from the occasional political pondering or something connected with Leeds United to proud doting Grandparent posts.
Then additionally on top of this last month I’ve been offered (and accepted) a new job. This starts next month on 16 May working for the Public Affairs Company – About Us | The Public Affairs Company – as a Government Relations Consultant.
So all in all, it’s been a pretty busy time.
There’s now plenty of news to update you all on locally, and I hope the information below is useful for you.
As ever if you need help or assistance on anything, or ever want to discuss something please let me know.
Trust all of the information provided below is helpful.
Best regards
Richard

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – March, April & May 2022
– Broxtowe Borough Council launches Ukraine appeal
– Around the world in 80 days
– Are you interested in sport?
– Fly tipping in Kimberley
– Knowle Park play improvements
– Kimberley Food Festival
– New litter bin on Knowle Hill
– Tram extension – Kimberley, Eastwood & Langley Mill – improving public transport in Broxtowe and Amber Valley
1) Broxtowe Borough Council launches Ukraine appeal
Anyone who wishes to offer a financial donation and or much needed items to support the Humanitarian Aid Work taking place in Ukraine and Poland, is now able to do so under a special scheme set up by the council.
Specifically in Broxtowe – the borough is in friendship with the town of Myszkow, Poland who are currently experiencing an influx of refugees, due to being located close to the Ukrainian border.
Please click on the following link for more information on how to offer support: Broxtowe Borough Council Launches Ukraine Appeal : Broxtowe Borough Council
2) Around the world in 80 days – Holy Trinity Church, Eastwood Road, Kimberley, Saturday 30 March, 1830
A reminder of this community event taking place tomorrow in Kimberley, please see details by clicking on the link:
This is a joint venture between Kimberley Church and Kimberley Institute Cricket Club.
The theatre company Rain or Shine have performed three times in Kimberley previously, each one a great success.
Call Jim Dymond for more information and tickets on 0115 854 4734, email: james.dymond1@ntlworld.com
3) New sporting memories group starts today
A new sporting memories group at Chilwell Olympia starts today 10am.
The group is free of charge and ideal for anyone in the local community who is isolated, dementia, Alzheimer’s or just wants to talk sport and meet like-minded people.
Please see the poster below for more information
4) Fly tipping in Kimberley
Earlier this month I was alerted to instances of fly tipping in Kimberley – mattresses and a whole load of other stuff which looked pretty disgusting, dumped at the back of Edgwood Road, near to the nature reserve. I reported this and it has now been removed.
If there are any other instances of fly tipping you come across, please let me know.
5) Knowle Park improvement survey
There’s some great work being proposed by Kimberley Town Council, with a lot of work being put in especially by Cllrs Ian Wilson, Sam Boneham and Neil Doherty to try and get some major upgrades to Knowle Park recreation ground in Kimberley.
Some of the suggestions include a small cycle track, more play equipment specifically for people suffering learning disabilities, benches for parents, a zip-wire (definitely not one for me), general upgrading of the play equipment etc.
Around 7-8 years ago when I was a Community Governor at Kimberley Primary school – we initiated a project to get some new equipment on Knowle Park, which we wereduly successful with, however it is looking a bit tired now, and work now being undertaken should provide a very welcome boost for users of the park.
There is a survey you can fill in here Knowle Park Improvement Survey (surveymonkey.co.uk) – to give your views.
For more information, please contact either Cllrs Ian Wilson – or Sam Boneham:
ian.wilson22@ntlworld.com
samuel.boneham101@gmail.com
6) Kimberley Food Festival
Last May when I sat down with Dave Fewster (joint owner of the Doghouse pub in Kimberley), and Sam Boneham and discussed how Kimberley might start buzzing again, little did we probably realise about how successful a food festival in the town might be.
Fast forward then to 13 March this year and over 3,000 visitors came to the Food Festival. Every stall holder and vendor either sold out (some even twice) or were left with very little stock by the end of the day.
Business saw a dramatic and much welcomed uptake in business. There were sell-out services at the Chip Shop on James Street, Mucky’s and Sugarlicious Cake, pubs and cafes up and down the town centre were absolutely packed all day.
The credit for this huge piece of work goes largely to Kimberley Town Cllr – Sam Boneham who worked tirelessly late into the night on many occasions leading up to 13 March, in order to make the Food Festival a success.
Also Matt & Sarah Haslam were a brilliant support to Sam, alongside many volunteers who helped on the day, giving up their time in order to make the event a success.
So what’s next? Well after some reflection and looking at what can be improved upon for next year, Sam is looking for the Kimberley Food Festival to become an annual event for Kimberley, bigger and better with some improvements.
Please contact Cllr Sam Boneham for more information and if you would like to help with the organising: samuel.boneham101@gmail.com
…..as a footnote to this – both Sam and Dave are now members of Kimberley Town Council – and I am sure both will continue to be excellent ambassadors for the area in the weeks, months and years ahead.
7) New litter bin Knowle Hill, Kimberley
I was asked earlier this month for a new bin at the top of Knowle Hill, and this has now been put in place.
If anyone else would like new litter bins in your area, please let me know.
8) Improving public transport in the north of Broxtowe and Amber Valley
Last month I asked the Chief Executive Officer at Broxtowe to look at ways it would still be possible to look at new funding channels for improving public transport in the area, and specifically now Hs2 at Toton has been mothballed from the original concept.
There are still some opportunities for us in Broxtowe to look at tram and light rail connectivity, and I for one do not want to see the campaigning work in Kimberley and surrounding areas that has been undertaken over the past 12 years go to waste!
If you would like to get involved in new campaigns to secure the tram out to Kimberley, Eastwood & Langley Mill – please get in touch.
News in brief
a) Fairgrove – former Brewery site Kimberley – I am meeting residents next week to talk about some ongoing concerns on the site.
b) Smart Parking – The Precinct Kimberley – the car parking management of this site has been in new hands for several months (EuroParks). I continue howeverto receive complaints about residual fines from the previous managers Smart Parking – in some instances the “offences” were detailed as people parking there for 24 hours when in fact it was only 6 minutes! If anyone is still being troubled by Smart Parking, please let me know.
c) Sainsburys Cafe – Kimberley – this is now closed. Lots of speculation about what might come in its place. When I have more definitive information I will let you know.

loved one in Nottinghamshire. The full details are provided here: Carers Space Session 2 March 2022
loved one in Nottinghamshire. The full details are provided here: Carers Space Session 2 March 2022
4) Garden waste subscriptions for the new financial year starting April 2022
Residents in Broxtowe are now able to renew their garden waste subscription for the 2022/23 season. This will run from Monday 4 April through to 2 April 2023. Letters detailing the fee for the year, along with information on how to pay should be with you by now with an example copy shown here: Garden Waste Letter 2022 (002)
The charge for the upcoming season is as follows; £37 for one bin and £23 for each additional bin. Bin stickers identifying subscribers will be sent to residents after payment and those paying before the 18 March will receive their stickers towards the end of March as these will be sent out as a batch from the printers. Subscriptions made after that date may take up to 10 days to process and residents may not receive their stickers until after the new season has begun. The quickest and easiest way for householders to subscribe is online and details on how to sign up to the service are provided on the back of the letter.

5) Rent a space from Decathlon store in Giltbrook
To fulfil their goals for a 2022 project, Decathlon are planning to refurbish this space on the second level of their store.
They want this space to be available and accessible to rent out for a variation of activities such as; fitness, dance or yoga classes. They want to make this as accommodating as possible for a wide variety of people and activities, we would love your input on how best to achieve this.
If you have any ideas, or interest you would like to express in using this space please contact Decathlon on the email address below
thomas.hodson@decathlon.com
If you are on Facebook – the details are also at:
6) Drains on Hardy Street, Kimberley
I continue to receive plenty of complaints about this, having first reported the problems in this vicinity last year.
I’ve made further representations about this matter, after receiving more complaints from local residents this week. When I have more information I will let you know.
7) Former brewery site, Hardy Street
I had my latest walk around the site this week with some local residents, following numerous ongoing problems with unfinished work, health and safety issues, protruding wires and environmental concerns. To try and move matters forward again I am looking to take the Director of Planning At Broxtowe around the site next month for a detailed inspection. I am hoping that resulting from this we will be able to get some realistic and proper timescales in place to rectify some of the key concerns. When I have more detailed information I will let you know. Any questions in the meantime please get in touch.
8) Precinct Parking, Kimberley
Readers of the this newsletter for a while will no doubt be well aware of the problems with parking fines that at one stage this month appeared never ending! I nearly lost count with how many complaints have been submitted to the previous company in question – Smart Parking – not only by me I should add, but also Sam Boneham (Kimberley Town Council).
Eurocarparks have now taken over the car park management system, with new signage in place.
Both Sam & I appear to have been successful with the vast majority of complaints we have submitted on behalf of local residents regarding Smart Parking.
Attention has now turned to ongoing issues – like, why have bollards been inserted which appear to benefit very few residents using the car park? The key matter of trying to get a separate access for vehicles coming out of the car park is something both Sam and I are trying to find a way forward on. When there is more information we will let you know.
Any questions in the meantime please get in touch.

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – December 2021
1 year ago
by Richard Robinson
in Newsletter
Hi all
A very warm welcome to my latest newsletter, and especially those who have joined within the past few weeks.
Looking back it’s been quite a year in many ways – some things now seem an eternity away – recalling just a few examples:
- in February Captain Sir Moore who raised over £32m for NHS charities died at the age of 100.
- in July England reached the final of a major football international tournament for the first time since 1966.
- in September British tennis player Emma Raducano won the 2021 US Open Women’s Singles at her first attempt and is the first female British player to win a major since Virginia Wade at Wimbledon in 1977.
- in October Conservative MP Sir David Amess died after being stabbed multiple times during his constituency surgery at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh on Sea.
- in October and November the UK hosted a summit called COP26 (COP stands for Conference of the Parties) – about climate change and how countries are going to tackle it.
- in November Marcus Rashford was awarded an MBE for his campaigning to help vulnerable children.
- Europe officially generated more electricity through renewable sources than fossil fuels for the first time during the past 18 months.
It goes without saying that COVID has dominated much of the year, as it did in 2020 – affecting every part of our lives and seems set to do so well into the New Year.
It’s been a hugely difficult year for many of us and in different ways and this Christmas time may not be an easy one for some. I recall two people we have so sadly lost during the past year this year – Andy Tibbitts who lived on Chapter Drive and Russ Saxton from Hardy Street. Both were legends in their own right and highly respected and loved by many people locally in the wider community. Andy was a local driving instructor and Russ was a professional musician (and my son’s guitar teacher). My thoughts and prayers go to their families this Christmas time, and for others who have lost loved ones during the past 12 months.
My hope is that the New Year can bring more of the compassion, community and civic responsibility that I have witnessed locally (and especially during the pandemic). Even therefore despite the difficulties and challenges we all face I remain in an optimistic mood for 2022.
As ever if you need help or assistance on anything let me know.
Can I take this opportunity to wish you all well for Christmas and the New Year.
Best regards
Richard

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – December 2021
– Christmas market in Kimberley
– Kimberley Leisure Centre
– Update on parking charges The Precinct, Kimberley – meeting successfully arranged with Smart Parking Limited
– Is there a Plan B for the tram extension to Kimberley and Eastwood?
– Relate
– News in Brief
1) Christmas market in Kimberley
Broxtowe Borough Council have organised a market in Kimberley – tomorrow Tuesday 21 December between 8am and 3pm at James Street Car Park.
Music is being provided by the Punjabi Roots Academy, with a range of stalls set to be in operation.
For more information please contact:
Jonathon Little
Economic Development & Regeneration Manager
Broxtowe Borough Council
E: jonathon.little@broxtowe.gov.uk
2) Kimberley Leisure Centre
I reported in last month’s newsletter on the discussions I had on 27 October with East Midlands Education Trust (EMET) to understand fully their position as it then was regarding Kimberley Leisure Centre:
Last week I was updated by EMET on the progress that had been made since October with Broxtowe Borough Council on plans going forward in 2022 and beyond. The information I have now been sent is shown here: Leisure Centre Update
Discussions are ongoing over the next few weeks in order to conclude a final agreement, and as you will see from the Leisure Centre update directly above, there has been solid progress with a more promising outlook set for the next three years, than that was originally mooted by some earlier this year. The name of Kimberley Leisure Centre will change, however it appears now that an agreement seems to be in sight that includes community and day time use for several years ahead. This in turn allows the council and others time to bid for funds to secure leisure funding for a longer period into the future.
I would like to thank all of those working hard behind the scenes currently on the final agreement (Liberty Leisure, EMET and Broxtowe BC), and on the work that they have done previously and collaboratively during the past few months.
As soon as there is more information available in 2022 I will let you know.
3) Parking charges – The Precinct, Kimberley
I reported on this matter in last month’s newsletter and together with Sam Boneham (Chair of Swingate Residents Association) – we have both spent many hours fielding complaints from residents, and liaising with Smart Parking (who have been issuing the fines) and also the owners of the car park itself.
We originally met Smart Parking (who were then operating the restrictions and responsible for issuing fines) on 19 November last month at the precinct in Kimberley where we discussed in detail the problems that local residents and shoppers were facing.
Both Sam and I have dealt with multiple complaints about fines (and got a good number of them rescinded), including a handful today 20 December.
On a wider note Sam and I have asked the owners of the site (LCP) as to whether a separate exit could be made to avoid some of the congestion, and this is now being looked into.
As those of you who are regular users of the precinct will no doubt have seen there is now a new company (operating the parking restrictions) Euro Car Parks. However some of the old Smart Parking fines are still coming through. If anyone experiences any problems please let Sam or myself now.
The contact for Sam is: samuel.boneham101@gmail.com
4) Is there plan B for the tram extension through Kimberley & Eastwood?
Many of you will be aware of the work that has been taking place ever since 2009 on getting the tram out to Kimberley and beyond:
We had originally hoped that this would be able to coincide with the Hs2 station at Toton. However you will no doubt have heard about the change of mind that the government has had with the Eastern leg of Hs2 now being scrapped (affecting the whole of Broxtowe – not only Toton).
We are now looking at alternative ways that tram connectivity and better public transport through Kimberley and Eastwood could be realised. I had a meeting two weeks ago with some key stakeholders looking at the possibilities for linking a tram extension with a reopening of the Maid Marian line (contact me if you want more specific details of this).
There is so much uncertainty at the moment, however we have not given up the fight. In my email folder there is a very large file entitled “2025 – tram extension to Kimberley”. I and many others hoped that we might have started to build in 2025. This clearly is not going to happen. Whilst this is disappointing we need not to dwell on what could have been, but what potential there is to adapt plans for the future.
As 2022 develops I will keep you posted on any realistic opportunities for the tram extension from Phoenix Park to be developed – in whatever form that takes.
5) Relate Nottingham
Some of you will have heard of the charity Relate. I have been appointed by the Borough Council – to serve on its local board.

Hi all
A very warm welcome to my latest newsletter, and especially those who have joined within the past few weeks.
Apologies for no update last month, I ran out of time. It was exceptionally busy, especially with work involved on Kimberley Leisure Centre (see below), so this is a joint October and November update.
If you have feedback, or need help with personal casework, as ever, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Trust you find the newsletter below both helpful and stimulating.
Best regards
Richard

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – October and November 2021
– Update on parking charges The Precinct, Kimberley – meeting successfully arranged with Smart Parking Limited
– Kimberley Leisure Centre
– Relate
– News in brief
1) Parking charges – The Precinct, Kimberley
Many of you will be aware of the ongoing problems local residents have experienced with the way parking fines have been issued in Kimberley.
I have received many complaints from local residents who have used the car park above legally, only then to receive arbitrary and hefty fines. Some of the fines have been overturned from the representations I have made (but not all of them).
Later this month I have arranged a meeting on site with a senior representative of Smart Parking Limited – to discuss the concerns, and in particular the use of the cameras in situ. I am looking forward to this and hoping that the problems that people have been experiencing will be fully addressed and the types of fines that are currently being issued will stop completely.
Please get in touch for any more information.
I’ll update you on progress in due course.
2) Update on the future of Kimberley Leisure Centre
I spent a significant part of last month dealing with requests for information from local residents on the future of the leisure centre. I held a meeting on 27 October – with the full findings shown here: Richard Robinson » Kimberley Leisure Centre – update November 2021 (richardsrobinson.org.uk)
3) Relate
Some of you will have heard of the charity Relate. I have been appointed by the Borough Council – to serve on its local board.
Here’s just a little information of the work of Relate:
Relate Nottinghamshire is a local county wide independent charity providing a wide range of counselling services to couples, individuals, families and young people. When people hear the word Relate, they often think of Marriage Guidance. And for many years that was what we were known as and what we did. But times and needs change and so have we. These days Relate still provides relationship counselling, but our clients are as diverse as we are. Our highly skilled specialist counsellors will work with you regardless of your relationship status. Many of our clients come on their own to talk in confidence about their current relationship or sometimes to make sense and to understand previous relationships.
We often see people at transitional moments in their life. For instance, a partner has a new job, or you are moving home, or there is a death of a family member, one partner is made redundant, another maybe facing retirement all of these life changing events will benefit from the intervention of a trained counsellor to help you through. For many couples the birth of children and watching them grow up can put enormous strain on any relationship. Our specialist family counsellors will work with the parents and the young people to help find solutions and guide you through those difficult years.
For many of our clients, infidelity is often one of the biggest problems they must face. Here at Relate we try to work with you to bring you back together or if needs be help you separate safely and well ensuring the welfare of your children is put first.
We also provide a specialist mediation service for those who have decided to divorce.
The second largest part of our work is providing sex therapy counselling to clients who need support with loving and intimacy. We also provide sex addiction counselling to people whose behaviour and sexual activity is getting out of control.
We do charge for our services and our fees vary from £20 to £80 an hour depending on your income. We also provide a free 30-minute telephone counselling service which is available on Monday and Wednesdays.
Please do contact us as you may find that you may be able to access free counselling through some of the numerous contracts with hold with business partners.
For more information visit www.relate-nottiingham.org.uk or call us on 0115 9584278 and email info@relate-nottingham.org.uk
4) News in brief
GILTHILL SCHOOL KIMBERLEY – ZEBRA CROSSING
Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak last year a petition was raised by several hundred local residents wanting a zebra crossing near Gilt Hill school. I have been approached again for assistance with this, and have started some new enquiries to find out if we can take this matter forward. The County Council originally refused the request for a crossing, but there appears to be growing local support in the community for a campaign to help bring about some meaningful improvements, across a very busy Eastwood Road, near to the school. Support is also coming from Sam Boneham (see item 1 above) – he is assisting Kimberley Primary School with their endeavours to get some action taken there – and as both schools involved come under East Midlands Education Trust, we are joining forces to see what can be done collaboratively.
If anyone would like a copy of the original report that the County Council produced regarding a Zebra crossing at Gilthill, please let me know.
The Head Teacher at Gilthill – Nicky Allison has recently written to parents last week to seek their views on how to improve road safety in the vicinity around the school.
I will update you on progress once I receive more information.
DRAINS ON HARDY STREET, KIMBERLEY
This appears to be an ongoing issue, with further complaints coming in during the past two weeks. I have made representations as appropriate, and am told that work will be undertaken to improve the current position for local residents.
If the problems still persist into December, please let me know.

Kimberley Leisure Centre – update November 2021
2 years ago
by Richard Robinson
in Blog
On Wednesday evening 27 October I had a very detailed discussion with Kimberley School (East Midlands Education Trust) on behalf of local residents and leisure centre users, to try and get some clarity on the future of the Leisure Centre in Kimberley.
The meeting was not hostile and conducted in a candid, professional and non confrontational manner.
I received 27 questions from members of the public & a statement I had been asked to deliver – click on:
1Questions for EMET (2) & statement
I have done my best to summarise accurately the outcome of the discussions below.
I have since spoken with Broxtowe Borough Council and they confirm that negotiations are still very much ongoing, with final decisions being made on what the future of leisure provision in Kimberley, after April next year will look like, by the end of next month (December).
I trust that the information provided below is useful.
Richard S Robinson
Independent Borough Cllr (Kimberley) – Broxtowe Borough Council
8 November 2021
- The school’s view is that the Joint Use Agreement (JUA) is not compatible with the provision of high quality education for the young people in the local community see: Kimberley School statement_29.09.21 Indeed, JUA’s are ending across Nottinghamshire – this is nothing new.
- For the reasons set out in the Head Teachers’ letter, the school needs the building back (see Head Teacher letter – link above). However, the school is aware that Broxtowe Borough Council do not have an alternative site for leisure provision at the moment and so they are trying to find transitional arrangements that allow this. The school do understand that this is an unsettling time for the community and in particular the staff at the Leisure Centre. Together with Liberty Leisure and Broxtowe Borough Council they have formed a joint planning group who are exploring models for continuing to facilitate community access to the facilities. However, there is no hiding the fact that negotiations can be complex and whilst there may be no consensus at present for example about access during the school day, these issues are not insurmountable and all sides are working hard to try and find workable solutions without any return to the outdated joint use agreement.
- The school does not believe (as some have suggested) that there has been a breakdown in communications and they are continuing to work closely together with Broxtowe Borough Council and Liberty Leisure in order to find some workable and realistic opportunities for leisure provision in Kimberley to continue.
- The school understands that Broxtowe Borough Council are currently exploring accessing levelling up funding to enhance community leisure and sporting provision. If Broxtowe Borough Council do want to target some of this funding and enhancing the current facilities on the school site then the school would be happy to support this as long it is not detrimental to the provision of a high quality education for students.
- The school and Liberty Leisure are currently working together in a very proactive and positive manner. It would be counterproductive and may harm relationships for either party to dwell on any past decisions, actions or inactions at this stage.
- A general point about joint use agreements is that other local districts have moved totally away from this method of delivering leisure and recreation.
- The reasons for the school taking back control of the land and building have nothing to do with finance, it is to do with additional space and better provision for the 1400 students on site every day at Kimberley School. The Head Teacher letter (see above) to parents outlines the reasons for the decision.
- The school are currently reviewing all aspects of the swimming programme, they have spoken to local swimming clubs and reassured them that access will continue as normal outside school hours, they have contacted the LA School Swimming Service to gain their feedback and to stress that no party wants to reduce school swimming access. However, the delivery model for all of this is to be determined once the review is completed. Additionally, a conditions survey of the swimming pool is yet to be completed.
- The school would potentially have full access to the space provided by taking back the building. There is an important distinction between what the space is currently used as and what it might be used for in the future.
- If the centre remains open to the public out of school hours do they plan on giving them free use or concessionary rates if they are students of the school?
No decisions have been taken in relation to this. It would be detailed in any amended School Lettings Policy. - What are the plans regarding the youth club that runs in the complex in the evenings? This is managed under a separate agreement with Nottinghamshire County Council.
- There has been a relatively small number of people contacting us expressing concern about the access to the facilities during the school day. The planning group has been made aware of these concerns. As soon as there is a clear plan for community access the school will communicate this with all concerned.
However, the fundamental reason for the decision is to increase space for the teaching of children, not only in terms of PE and Sport but for general classroom space and other educational provision. There are 1400 students on site every day and they should be entitled to high quality facilities and provision for educational uses. - The school do acknowledge the uncertainty this decision has caused to both staff and the local community. However, the short term pain of this may lead to longer term gain if Broxtowe Borough Council secure a suitable site for a brand new state of the art leisure centre with additional facilities still available at Kimberley School.
- As stated previously the School and Liberty Leisure continue to work proactively to seek medium term solutions. The school will update the community once this work is completed.

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – September 2021
– Visit to Swingate, Kimberley by Broxtowe’s MP Darren Henry
– Precinct parking charges, Kimberley
– Footpath closure process in Newthorpe/Greasley
– New street signs in Kimberley
– Kimberley Leisure Centre
– Could Kimberley gain from £20 million pounds of government investment?
– Relate
– News in brief
1) Swingate, Kimberley
I’ve been made aware of a visit by Broxtowe MP Darren Henry to Swingate this coming Friday 1 October – at 10am – meeting at the White Lion.
This has been arranged by Sam Boneham who is very active volunteer in the local community in Kimberley (he’s a governor at the primary school on Swingate), for example.
The purpose of the meeting is to draw Darren’s attention to the large scale neglect of much of Swingate for many years – with many traffic and highway related issues.
If you would like to attend and have your say on Swingate issues, please contact Sam: swingateresidents@gmail.com
2) Parking charges – The Precinct, Kimberley
I have received a number of complaints from local residents regarding fines for alleged parking infringements in this vicinity. Some residents are clearly very annoyed as they have not overstayed their allowed parking time, but have received quite significant fines.
I have made representations to the company involved on several cases so far. One I have managed to get the fine squashed, and one is still pending, with more to deal with still.
Due to the number of ongoing complaints, and following separate requests for help via Sam Boneham (as above) on behalf of local residents, I have this week written to the Operations Director (OD) at Smart Parking Limited, asking for a meeting on site to discuss the company’s policies, and CCTV operation.
Alongside Sam, we both hope to meet the OD next month.
If anyone has been particularly affected by such “fines”, or if anyone wants more information please let me know.
I will update progress in subsequent newsletters this year.
3) Greasley Footpath 32 and 40 – Main Street – Newthorpe
I have received some strong complaints surrounding a long standing issue regarding the “misuse of the footpath closure process”. Essentially this particular footpath above has been closed since early 2019 for building work (that has never subsequently materialised).
The County Council have stated the following:
“The history to Greasley Footpaths 32 and 40, and to Greasley FP32, in particular, is complex. At the root of this it appears that part of the line originally recorded on the official records between 1953 and 1956, at the request of the Parish Council, has not been available for use since the mid-1960s. Instead, a slightly different line was used at various points. While this did not present any issues for many years, changes to the landscape on site have prompted the Council to look at ensuring that the best line (both for the public and for the landowners) is available for use.
This can only be achieved by a Diversion Order to change the legally recorded line. The path will not be permanently closed. The Diversion Order was made on 6th November, 2019 and was subsequently sent to the Planning Inspectorate with a request that the Secretary of State’s Inspector confirm the diversion. At present, the Nottinghamshire County Council is awaiting a timetable from the Planning Inspectorate which will set out how and when the Inspector will decide whether to confirm The Nottinghamshire County Council (Greasley Footpath No.32 and No.40) Diversion Order 2019.
The Planning Inspectorate’s progression of this has been delayed by the Covid pandemic but it is hoped that progress will soon resume. As the matter is with the Planning Inspectorate, there is nothing more that can be done by the County Council to progress matters more quickly. Please be assured that, when the Inspector confirms the timetable, the County Council will publish formal notices of this so that interested parties can make representations within that process”.
After contacting Nottinghamshire County Council my understanding is that the Planning Inspectorate (PI) still have to process this and four other cases in the county.
The PI have 80 cases in total on their books at the moment, with a backlog building up due to the COVID pandemic.
If anyone wants more specific information they contact contact Neil Lewis at Nottinghamshire County Council – neil.lewis@nottscc.gov.uk – or myself.
When I get any more information I will update you accordingly.
4) New street signs in Kimberley
I have been asked recently for some new street signs for Tip Tree Close and Lulworth Court, by local residents.
It appears that Broxtowe Borough Council have done a good job in putting new signs up, and I have received positive feedback from local residents about this.
5) Kimberley Leisure Centre
I have got a meeting with the Deputy Chief Executive at Broxtowe Borough Council next Monday at 5pm to ascertain the full position on what is (and is not) happening regarding Kimberley Leisure Centre. I have received a number of comments, questions, messages including via social media about various matters, and I want to establish the full facts and get as clear position as possible on a number of points. These include a) what the current position in terms of the staff employed there b) the level of service that will continue at the Leisure Centre, and for how long c) what precisely the position of East Midlands Education Trust is on the negotiations that have taken place.
(See also item 6 below in bold in italics).
If anyone has any questions – please get in touch.
When I have substantive information I will let you know.
6) Could Kimberley receive £20million pounds worth of investment from the government?
You may (or may not) have seen lots of references on social media recently to this during the past few months (known as levelling up money) for Kimberley.
I’ve certainly received plenty of comments from local residents when I’ve been out and about chatting with people. If you live in Kimberley, you may also have received information through your door earlier in the summer.
So what’s the background to this nationally, how might this pan out locally, and what might we actually see as a result? Let me try and give a bit of a wider context, before coming back to us here in Kimberley and the surrounding areas.
The national background
- The promise to “level up and unite the country” has been a central message since the current Conservative government came to power in December 2019. During the election of that year, the slogan was the counterpart to the promise to “get Brexit done” (as they like to call it), providing arguably, one of history’s simplest plans for government. Step 1: get Brexit done. Step 2: level up. With Brexit officially “done”, the government then turned its attention to step 2 – level up.
- Although this agenda has been somewhat slowed by the pandemic, the phrase “levelling up” has steadily proliferated through various parts of England.
- It’s place-based. What do I mean this this? To level up is to reduce inequality between places while improving outcomes in all places. The UK has a long history of inequality between places. There are copious examples of this, anything from the East Midlands being bottom of the table throughout England for public transport investment, to people living longer (life expectancy) in more affluent parts of the country big disparities in funding for local government services, and in educational attainment.
- So on face value the levelling-up agenda is about ensuring people living in Kimberley, Eastwood, Langley Mill, Kirkby and Sutton in Ashfield for example, get as much chance to prosper as people living in wealthier Kensington, Buckinghamshire, Kent and Surrey.
- It’s about giving back to those “forgotten or left behind areas” you can hear references to on the news.
- Looking at the Levelling Up agenda with a sceptical or even cynical eye may lead you to think that the Conservatives are simply trying to ensure that in their marginal (or Red Wall seats) as they are referred to (those traditionally Labour) like Ashfield, Bolsover, Mansfield – that they stay Conservative at the next General Election (due December 2024) – due to having £20m thrown at them.
- Levelling up you might say is about then improving outcomes in certain regions.
- Should we get significant sustainable investment in Kimberley which brings wide benefits to the majority of our residents I will be pleased. I might not agree with some of the motives behind it as suggested above, however it’s the delivery that counts, and let’s see how all of this shapes up!
So what’s happening locally?
The town council in Eastwood have put forward earlier this year ambitious plans as part of their bid to secure £20m in Ashfield:
Subsequently Broxtowe Borough Council (who are the principle bidding authority) for Levelling Up want to secure a similar amount of money for Kimberley.
All bids for Levelling Up have to be signed off by the respective MP (in Eastwood’s case that is Lee Anderson), and in Broxtowe it is Darren Henry.
Broxtowe Borough Council undertook a survey in respect of Kimberley: Investment Consultation in Kimberley now open : Broxtowe Borough Council – (the consultation period expired on 2 July).
Kimberley Town council also showed significant interest in the Levelling Up monies that could be available, and they did their own consultation with members of the public locally: The Future of Kimberley – Kimberley Town Council (kimberley-tc.gov.uk)
I am on what’s called a “Task & Finish Group” which includes representatives of the Town Council, business, borough and county cllrs and Darren Henry MP – that will draw up a short list with a number of projects finally to be submitted (via the MP) in respect of Kimberley. The final decision will then be made in Westminster by government ministers.
There are a number of Task & Finish groups that will meet between now and Christmas with the next meeting of this “Task & Finish Group” is next week – where we will be trying to reach a consensus on what projects to progress. Kimberley Town Council have suggested a number of projects be prioritised such as:
– Victorianisation of the Main Street and associated shopping area
– the redevelopment and re-siting of the existing cricket ground -combined with a cultural park, offices, business start up and internet café
– improving cycle networks
– improving traffic flow in and around Kimberley
Personally in terms of Levelling Up I’m keen to ensure that we have continuing provision for Leisure Centre facilities in Kimberley, and I am happy for some of the £20m to be used to support Kimberley Leisure Centre. I have specifically raised these points at the meetings I have attended thus far.
I’m also a supporter of increased facilities for new business networking, new offices, and supporting initiatives that will draw more footfall and investment into Kimberley – to support in turn, our existing businesses. Also for more community spaces, safe places for young people, and improving our parks (and toilet provision).
I don’t think any of this should be about what my priorities are however, the driving force should be the people of Kimberley. I do have a bias towards young people admittedly, but if we can get major investment that both benefits younger people and families, whilst not disregarding the needs of the elderly, I will be very pleased.
7) Relate
Some of you will have heard of the charity Relate. I have been appointed by the Borough Council – to serve on its local board.
Here’s just a little information of the work of Relate:
Relate Nottinghamshire is a local county wide independent charity providing a wide range of counselling services to couples, individuals, families and young people. When people hear the word Relate, they often think of Marriage Guidance. And for many years that was what we were known as and what we did. But times and needs change and so have we. These days Relate still provides relationship counselling, but our clients are as diverse as we are. Our highly skilled specialist counsellors will work with you regardless of your relationship status. Many of our clients come on their own to talk in confidence about their current relationship or sometimes to make sense and to understand previous relationships.
We often see people at transitional moments in their life. For instance, a partner has a new job, or you are moving home, or there is a death of a family member, one partner is made redundant, another maybe facing retirement all of these life changing events will benefit from the intervention of a trained counsellor to help you through. For many couples the birth of children and watching them grow up can put enormous strain on any relationship. Our specialist family counsellors will work with the parents and the young people to help find solutions and guide you through those difficult years.
For many of our clients, infidelity is often one of the biggest problems they must face. Here at Relate we try to work with you to bring you back together or if needs be help you separate safely and well ensuring the welfare of your children is put first.
We also provide a specialist mediation service for those who have decided to divorce.
The second largest part of our work is providing sex therapy counselling to clients who need support with loving and intimacy. We also provide sex addiction counselling to people whose behaviour and sexual activity is getting out of control.
We do charge for our services and our fees vary from £20 to £80 an hour depending on your income. We also provide a free 30-minute telephone counselling service which is available on Monday and Wednesdays.
Please do contact us as you may find that you may be able to access free counselling through some of the numerous contracts with hold with business partners.

8) News in brief
RUISLIP CLOSE
I have been trying for the past 7-8 years probably, following approaches by local residents to try and get a wall reduced in size or knocked down. It’s proved a nuisance to local residents with bouts of anti social behaviour, and drug taking taking place behind it.. The local police previously signalled their support for the wall demolition.
There have been disputes between the borough council and the county council on ownership. Finally the County Council have admitted it comes under their jurisdiction.
I asked our County Cllr Philip Owen to see whether he could help, and I am pleased to say that he visited the residents affected during the past few weeks.
The County Council are now as I understand it considering what the costs would be in either reducing or demolishing the wall.
When I have more information I will let you know.
OVERGROWN NETTLES AND VEGETATION IN VARIOUS FOOTPATH LOCATIONS IN AND AROUND KIMBERLEY
Recently I have had complaints about problems near Oaklodge Drive and Hall om Wong Park (now sorted), around Swingate Tower, between Swingate Tower and West Street, between Hall om Wong – Wentworth Court and Maws Lane and around Awsworth Lane, Kimberley.

GILTHILL SCHOOL KIMBERLEY – ZEBRA CROSSING
Prior to the COVID-19 outbreak last year a petition was raised by several hundred local residents wanting a zebra crossing near Gilt Hill school. I have been approached again for assistance with this, and have started some new enquiries to find out if we can take this matter forward. The County Council originally refused the request for a crossing, but there appears to be growing local support in the community for a campaign to help bring about some meaningful improvements, across a very busy Eastwood Road, near to the school. Support is also coming from Sam Boneham (see item 1 above) – he is assisting Kimberley Primary School with their endeavours to get some action taken there – and as both schools involved come under East Midlands Education Trust, we are joining forces to see what can be done collaboratively.
If anyone wants more information please contact myself or Sam – swingateresidents@gmail.com

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – July & August 2021 edition
2 years ago
by Richard Robinson
in Newsletter
Hi all
A very warm welcome to my July and August newsletter, and especially those who have joined over the past few weeks.
I ran out of time to do a separate edition last month in July – so I’m combining a joint July/August edition, and I hope you find the updates information below helpful.
If anyone has tried to contact me via my Broxtowe email for the past few weeks, there are major problems with the council’s IT system for cllrs, so emails may well not have been answered. For now – I would ask you to contact me via email on: rrobinson@richardsrobinson.org.uk
Apologies for any delays.
Hopefully by September, the problems will have been fixed.
Turning to my latest update below – could I ask in particular that you take a look at item 2(a) Broxtowe Borough Council Community Governance Review (alterations to parish boundaries). This is really important as the proposed changes may well have an affect on where you vote locally and who you are represented by (locally) in future,- especially if you live in Awsworth, Cossall, Babbington, Nuthall & Kimberley.
This is *not* the same as the parliamentary boundary review (which is about which MP represents you), which I cover separately below.
As ever if you need help or assistance on anything do get in touch, and feedback is always welcome.
Best regards
Richard

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – July & August 2021 edition
– £20million uplift for Kimberley?
– Important potential changes to parish and parliamentary boundaries
– Ruislip Close, Kimberley
– Tram extension
– Relate
– Can you support Jeff Buck?
– Footpath between bottom of Norman Street and Brendon Drive, Kimberley
1) Could Kimberley receive £20million pounds worth of investment from the government?
You may (or may not) have seen lots of references on social media recently to this during the past few weeks (known as levelling up money) for Kimberley.
I’ve certainly received plenty of comments from local residents when I’ve been out and about chatting with people. If you live in Kimberley, you may also have received information through your door.
So what’s the background to this nationally, how might this pan out locally, and what might we actually see as a result? Let me try and give a bit of a wider context, before coming back to us here in Kimberley and the surrounding areas.
The national background
- The promise to “level up and unite the country” has been a central message since the current Conservative government came to power in December 2019. During the election of that year, the slogan was the counterpart to the promise to “get Brexit done” (as they like to call it), providing arguably, one of history’s simplest plans for government. Step 1: get Brexit done. Step 2: level up. With Brexit officially “done”, the government then turned its attention to step 2 – level up.
- Although this agenda has been somewhat slowed by the pandemic, the phrase “levelling up” has steadily proliferated through various parts of England.
- It’s place-based. What do I mean this this? To level up is to reduce inequality between places while improving outcomes in all places. The UK has a long history of inequality between places. There are copious examples of this, anything from the East Midlands being bottom of the table throughout England for public transport investment, to people living longer (life expectancy) in more affluent parts of the country big disparities in funding for local government services, and in educational attainment.
- So on face value the levelling-up agenda is about ensuring people living in Kimberley, Eastwood, Langley Mill, Kirkby and Sutton in Ashfield for example, get as much chance to prosper as people living in wealthier Kensington, Buckinghamshire, Kent and Surrey.
- It’s about giving back to those “forgotten or left behind areas” you can hear references to on the news.
- Looking at the Levelling Up agenda with a sceptical or even cynical eye may lead you to think that the Conservatives are simply trying to ensure that in their marginal (or Red Wall seats) as they are referred to (those traditionally Labour) like Ashfield, Bolsover, Mansfield – that they stay Conservative at the next General Election (due December 2024) – due to having £20m thrown at them.
- Levelling up you might say is about then improving outcomes in certain regions.
- Should we get significant sustainable investment in Kimberley which brings wide benefits to the majority of our residents I will be pleased. I might not agree with some of the motives behind it as suggested above, however it’s the delivery that counts, and let’s see how all of this shapes up!
So what’s happening locally?
The town council in Eastwood have put forward earlier this year ambitious plans as part of their bid to secure £20m in Ashfield:
Subsequently Broxtowe Borough Council (who are the principle bidding authority) for Levelling Up want to secure a similar amount of money for Kimberley.
All bids for Levelling Up have to be signed off by the respective MP (in Eastwood’s case that is Lee Anderson), and in Broxtowe it is Darren Henry.
Broxtowe Borough Council undertook a survey undertook a survey in respect of Kimberley: Investment Consultation in Kimberley now open : Broxtowe Borough Council – (the consultation period expired on 2 July).
Kimberley Town council also showed significant interest in the Levelling Up monies that could be available, and they did their own consultation with members of the public locally: The Future of Kimberley – Kimberley Town Council (kimberley-tc.gov.uk)
I am on what’s called a “Task & Finish Group” which includes representatives of the Town Council, business, borough and county cllrs and Darren Henry MP – that will draw up a short list with a number of projects finally to be submitted (via the MP) in respect of Kimberley. The final decision will then be made in Westminster by government ministers.
There are a number of Task & Finish groups that will meet between now and Christmas with the next meeting of this “Task & Finish Group” is tomorrow – where we will be trying to reach a consensus on what projects to progress. Kimberley Town Council have suggested a number of projects be prioritised such as:
– Victorianisation of the Main Street and associated shopping area
– the redevelopment and re-siting of the existing cricket ground -combined with a cultural park, offices, business start up and internet café
– improving cycle networks
– improving traffic flow in and around Kimberley
It was very interesting to note that on the Broxtowe Borough Council consultation there were 133 references to the Tram extension from Phoenix Park through Kimberley in the feedback from residents to the borough council (concerning transport improvements). The overwhelming majority of comments were in support of the tram extension. It’s unlikely that the tram extension as such will be included as part of the Levelling Up bid – however please see item 4 below for an update of where we are on the tram, and what the next steps are.
Personally in terms of Levelling Up I’m keen to ensure that we have continuing provision for Leisure Centre facilities in Kimberley, and I am happy for some of the £20m to be used to support Kimberley Leisure Centre, should this indeed be necessary.
I’m also a supporter of increased facilities for new business networking, new offices, and supporting initiatives that will draw more footfall and investment into Kimberley – to support in turn, our existing businesses. Also for more community spaces, safe places for young people, and improving our parks (and toilet provision).
I don’t think any of this should be about what my priorities are however, the driving force should be the people of Kimberley. I do have a bias towards young people admittedly, but if we can get major investment that both benefits younger people and families, whilst not disregarding the needs of the elderly, I will be very pleased.
I’ll update you in September on what progress that is made during the next few weeks.
2) “I am very confused – I have seen on social media talk about Broxtowe Borough Council and parish reviews, and then something else about review of parliamentary boundaries. What really is happening”?
I’ve heard this refrain many times over the past few weeks, and a number of people have been in touch asking for clarification on the current position.
I’ll try and make this as straightforward as possible.
First thing to say is I understand why there is some confusion, there are two different things happening at the same time. Both are complex in their own right a) Borough Council review of existing parish boundaries and b) parliamentary review.
- (a) Broxtowe Borough Council are undertaking what is called a Community Governance Review (CGR). In essence these means that the existing parish boundaries are being looked at, which may mean in turn – alteration to borough council ward boundaries. Ok so far? Stay with me …………..
- To find out more about the detail (and yes in a meaningful way), there’s a Power Point presentation – that goes through all of the specific items, timescales, proposed changes (especially affecting Kimberley, Nuthall, Cossall, Babbington & Awsworth). There’s a lot of really important information here (click on the following link): CGR Briefing for Kimberley
- You have until 30 September to make your comments on the proposed changes outlined in the link directly above. Representations can be made in writing and addressed to The Head of Administrative Services, Broxtowe Borough Council, Council Offices, Foster Avenue, Beeston, Nottingham, NG9 1AB or by email to cgr@broxtowe.gov.uk
- See also: Community Governance Review : Broxtowe Borough Council
(b) The review of Parliamentary Boundaries is being undertaken by the Boundary Commission for England & that is proposing that the 3 borough wards of Kimberley, Nuthall East & Stelley & Watnall & Nuthall West are in a new Nottingham & Kimberley Constituency. All the other borough wards would be in the Broxtowe Constituency. The closing date for comments on the new suggested parliamentary boundaries has now passed (it was 2 August).
This would also see Eastwood moving out of Ashfield (where it currently is for parliamentary voting) and coming into a new Broxtowe parliamentary constituency.
Why is this happening? The Boundary Commission for England has a task of periodically reviewing all the Parliamentary constituencies in England. It is currently conducting a review on the basis of rules most recently updated by Parliament in 2020.
Currently, the number of electors in some constituencies is much higher than in others. The BCE is redrawing the boundaries of Parliamentary constituencies to make sure each one has between 69,724 and 77,062 electors (there’s an exception to that rule for the Isle of Wight); as part of this process, the number of constituencies in England will increase from 533 to 543.
2023 Review | Boundary Commission for England (independent.gov.uk) – provides a lot more detailed background information.
Under the current proposals the number of constituencies in the East Midlands will increase from 46 to 47 with each constituency containing between 69,724 and 77,062. Currently Nottingham North has 64,578 electors.
If the current proposals go ahead this means that the next General Election (scheduled by Fixed Term Act of Parliament) would be December 2024, would be then fought under these new boundaries.
Should for example the proposals for Nottingham North go ahead – Kimberley and Nuthall would have an MP with around 2/3 of the electorate under Nottingham City, with the rest (Kimberley and Nuthall) within the county of Nottinghamshire. There is a unitary authority in Nottingham City for all local gvt services (from Housing to Transport, Planning, Education, Refuse and Social Services) – whilst in Kimberley and Nuthall their local gvt services are provided by both Broxtowe Borough Council and Nottinghamshire County Council. Told you it was complex!
I hope both separate issues are now a little clearer for you. Any comments, please let me know.
3) Ruilsip Close, Kimberley
I have been trying for the past 7-8 years probably, following approaches by local residents to try and get a wall reduced in size or knocked down. It’s proved a nuisance to local residents with bouts of anti social behaviour, and drug taking taking place behind it.. The local police previously signalled their support for the wall demolition.
There have been disputes between the borough council and the county council on ownership. Finally the County Council have admitted it comes under their jurisdiction.
I asked our County Cllr Philip Owen to see whether he could help, and I am pleased to say that he visited the residents affected during the past few weeks.
The County Council are now as I understand it considering what the costs would be in either reducing or demolishing the wall.
When I have more information I will let you know.
4) Improving public transport – Tram extension to Kimberley (and beyond)
The borough council was set to undertake a further Feasibility Study in respect of the Tram Extension in 2020. Funds are in place for this. Covid-19 then struck, and the government have then continually delayed the decision on the Hs2 hub station that has been planned for Toton. The Hs2 hub at Toton is a very important consideration in order for the tram extension to successfully go ahead.
We now understand that the latest decision on Toton will be made in October this year, meaning that next stage in the Tram Extension: Richard Robinson » Langley Mill Super Hub – Tram extension Line 4 phase III to Kimberley, Eastwood & into Amber Valley (richardsrobinson.org.uk) – being the Feasibility Study – will be delayed further.
When there is more information I will let you know.
5) Relate
Some of you will have heard of the charity Relate. I have been appointed by the Borough Council – to serve on its local board.
Here’s just a little information of the work of Relate:
Relate Nottinghamshire is a local county wide independent charity providing a wide range of counselling services to couples, individuals, families and young people. When people hear the word Relate, they often think of Marriage Guidance. And for many years that was what we were known as and what we did. But times and needs change and so have we. These days Relate still provides relationship counselling, but our clients are as diverse as we are. Our highly skilled specialist counsellors will work with you regardless of your relationship status. Many of our clients come on their own to talk in confidence about their current relationship or sometimes to make sense and to understand previous relationships.
We often see people at transitional moments in their life. For instance, a partner has a new job, or you are moving home, or there is a death of a family member, one partner is made redundant, another maybe facing retirement all of these life changing events will benefit from the intervention of a trained counsellor to help you through. For many couples the birth of children and watching them grow up can put enormous strain on any relationship. Our specialist family counsellors will work with the parents and the young people to help find solutions and guide you through those difficult years.
For many of our clients, infidelity is often one of the biggest problems they must face. Here at Relate we try to work with you to bring you back together or if needs be help you separate safely and well ensuring the welfare of your children is put first.
We also provide a specialist mediation service for those who have decided to divorce.
The second largest part of our work is providing sex therapy counselling to clients who need support with loving and intimacy. We also provide sex addiction counselling to people whose behaviour and sexual activity is getting out of control.
We do charge for our services and our fees vary from £20 to £80 an hour depending on your income. We also provide a free 30-minute telephone counselling service which is available on Monday and Wednesdays.
Please do contact us as you may find that you may be able to access free counselling through some of the numerous contracts with hold with business partners.
For more information visit www.relate-nottiingham.org.uk or call us on 0115 9584278 and email info@relate-nottingham.org.uk
6) Can you support Jeff Buck running the Robin Hood half marathon?
I’ve known Jeff for many years and he has been instrumental in helping Rumbletums in Kimberley flourish.
He’s running the Robin Hood half marathon in September, to raise funds for Equation (who have, incidentally, just been given the Queens Award for Voluntary Service).
This is what the proceeds are going for:
From #MeToo to Everyone’s Invited, via the tragic death of Sarah Everard (and the other anonymous women who die every week at the hands of male partners), it’s very clear that there is still a long, long way to go to ensure women’s safety and to achieve real gender equality.
For the past three years, I’ve worked for Equation, a local charity that’s doing all it can to educate children and young people about safe, healthy relationships, and to both reduce the harm done by domestic abuse and advance the cause of gender equality. The work they do is creative, often ground-breaking and vital. To succeed, they need as much support as they can get. That’s why I’m getting my running shoes on again and doing this year’s Robin Hood half-marathon.
If you want to support me, and Equation, I’d be very grateful. Thanks.
7) Footpath between bottom of Norman Street and Brendon Drive, Kimberley (footpath 26)
I’ve received some complaints about the state of the overgrown bushes, hedges etc in this location. I have contacted the County Council – and they in turn have confirmed that Broxtowe Borough Council carry out a surface vegetation cut there twice a year. They’ve done the first cut and are starting second cuts imminently. The hedges are overgrown and the County Council are due to write to the property owners nearby and get them to cut their hedges back.

Broxtowe News Update & Information Service – June 2021 edition
– Licensing applicating in Kimberley
– Will we lose Kimberley & Nuthall to Nottingham North?
– Kimberley Leisure Centre
– News in brief
1) License Application 23 – 27 Main Street (next door to the Gate Inn)
I have received a number of representations both for and against this application.
The information I have is shown below as follows:
- This is a licensing application and dealt with by the Broxtowe Borough Council Licensing Team.
- I understand that the Police are in consultation with the applicant to agree conditions under which they will need to operate. However if the application goes to a hearing, a number of options are open to the licensing panel.
- They can grant, refuse or amend the application. Any refusal or amendment will be subject to appeal to the Magistrates Court. The deadline for making representations is 2 July 2021.
More information is available at the following two documents: – A Guide to Making Representations Jan 2019 (1) (1) (click on link and then on Word Doc),
and also – Form of Representation May 2018 GDPR (1)
More information is available from John Miley Licensing Manager, Public Protection Division: Broxtowe Borough Council: – john.miley@broxtowe.gov.uk
2) Parliamentary Boundary Review undertaken by the Boundary Commission for England (BCE)
Some people have expressed strong individual views about the proposals what is being proposed here.
You have until 2 August 2021 to have your say on the new suggested parliamentary boundaries (which under the current proposals would see Kimberley & Nuthall come out of Broxtowe) and become part of Nottingham North. For more information please see:
This would also see Eastwood moving out of Ashfield (where it currently is for parliamentary voting) and coming into a new Broxtowe parliamentary constituency.
Why is this happening? The Boundary Commission for England has a task of periodically reviewing all the Parliamentary constituencies in England. It is currently conducting a review on the basis of rules most recently updated by Parliament in 2020.
Currently, the number of electors in some constituencies is much higher than in others. The BCE is redrawing the boundaries of Parliamentary constituencies to make sure each one has between 69,724 and 77,062 electors (there’s an exception to that rule for the Isle of Wight); as part of this process, the number of constituencies in England will increase from 533 to 543.
2023 Review | Boundary Commission for England (independent.gov.uk) – provides a lot more detailed background information.
Under the current proposals the number of constituencies in the East Midlands will increase from 46 to 47 with each constituency containing between 69,724 and 77,062. Currently Nottingham North has 64,578 electors.
If the current proposals go ahead this means that the next General Election (scheduled by Fixed Term Act of Parliament) would be December 2024, would be then fought under these new boundaries.
This is however *not a review* of local government boundaries – where Kimberley and Nuthall would remain within the borough of Broxtowe (as indeed would Eastwood).
Confused? I’m sure that a visitor from Mars would scratch their head trying to grasp some of the many anomalies surrounding how we are governed both locally and nationally.
Should for example the proposals for Nottingham North go ahead – Kimberley and Nuthall would have an MP with around 2/3 of the electorate under Nottingham City, with the rest (Kimberley and Nuthall) within the county of Nottinghamshire. There is a unitary authority in Nottingham City for all local gvt services (from Housing to Transport, Planning, Education, Refuse and Social Services) – whilst in Kimberley and Nuthall their local gvt services are provided by both Broxtowe Borough Council and Nottinghamshire County Council. Told you it was complex!
If anyone has any questions do get in touch. Do have your say, by clicking on the link above.
3) Kimberley Leisure Centre
I have seen various (and futile) attempts to scaremonger local residents by local Conservative cllrs regarding what is happening with the negotiations between Broxtowe Borough Council & East Mids Education Trust (EMET). These are the facts: an agreement has been reached between the council & EMET regarding the outdoor five a side & synthetic pitches (EMET to manage). The internal facilities ie gym & swimming pool are to remain in council control until April 2022. Negotiations will continue regarding what happens post April 2022.
Any final agreement reached will be subject to Broxtowe Borough Council approval.
News in brief
- Several businesses in Kimberley (from the Post Office downwards) have complained that they do not benefit from the new wi-fi available more towards the centre of Kimberley. I am currently liaising with Matthew Batterham – matthew.batterham@broxtowe.gov.uk – Business Growth Manager – Broxtowe Borough Council for updates and to see how we can improve the connection for *all businesses*. Anyone requiring more information please get in touch with Matthew or myself.
- Digby Street, Kimberley – I have been asked for a “No Ball” sign to be placed towards the bottom of Digby Street. I am awaiting a response on this currently from Nottinghamshire County Council.
- Alma Hill, Lulworth Court and Tip Tree Close – I have been approached by residents for new street signage in all of these areas – where the current signs have worn away. Work should be completed during the next couple of months.
- Kimberley Cemetery – I met with the Parks Manager at Broxtowe Borough Council earlier this month, following concerns from some residents about the general upkeep of the cemetery, use of weed killer near gravestones and various other matters. I learnt that the use of weed killer is not unusual in these situations. On a separate note – Kimberley Town Council and Broxtowe Borough Council are working together on a project to promote plans for maintaining strong wildlife projects.
- Adjacent to Kimberley cemetery is the footpath that runs between Broomhill Road and Chapter Drive, Kimberley. Responsibility for cutting part of the hedges are the responsibility of the Town Council, and a request has been put into them to undertake some pruning.

Projects throughout the UKhave included energy monitoring and data/billing analysis to assist companies to improve efficient use of energy. This has included disputes with electricity suppliers and distributors and site surveys, installation of temporary monitoring equipment and recommendations to install suitable power factor correction equipment. Site surveys for the installation of a M&T at major sites, have been undertaken and with the recent advances in remote monitoring technologies surveys and installation of GSM smart meters have been undertaken at distribution centres of a leading logistics company. A request by a leading UKenergy supplier has resulted in the installation of remote data collection technology, including planning and installation of remote data logging equipment to monitor and analyse usage data from geothermal sites within theUK. This work is ongoing in the development of renewable energy and low carbon technology.
