VILLAGE HALL UPGRADE
Keyworth Parish Council has had the Village Hall complex
redecorated and refitted to make this already popular venue
more attractive to its present and prospective users. The hall
has been completely repainted and new curtains have been hung,
which comply with fire regulations. The centenary lounge has
also benefited from a repaint. Several tapestries which were
looking a bit dated in the foyer have also had a makeover and
these have been re-hung. The ladies’ and gentleman's toilets
have been upgraded with new flooring. The last part of the
project has just been completed with the reupholstering of all
the chairs and benches in the Centenary Lounge.
The complex consists of the main hall, Centenary Lounge,
Feignies room and bar room (which can be hired on its own or
together with the hall or other rooms). The latest addition to
the complex is the Feignies room that was formally dedicated
in 2007 by the Mayor of Feignies. This room is extensively
used by local village organisations for meetings. All the
facilities are available for hire and full details can be
obtained by calling Barbara Garthwaite on 0115 937 2185 .
PARKING RULES CHANGING IN RUSHCLIFFE
Changes to parking in Rushcliffe are to be made as from next
month. Civil Parking Enforcement CPE) will start on Monday
12th May when the County Council takes over responsibility for
on-street parking enforcement from the Police.
This involves
taking over functions formerly carried out by traffic wardens
such as illegal parking on single and double yellow lines,
plus pay and display car park offences. CPE will be operated
by the Notts Parking Partnership which comprises the County
Council and the seven District and Borough Councils in
Nottinghamshire (excluding the city). Enforcement staff will
be supplied by NCP Services under a central contract with the
County Council. The Borough Council will determine the hours
of enforcement and will employ a parking manager to manage
both on-street and off-street parking enforcement in
Rushcliffe. The County Council will process all Penalty Charge
Notices (parking ‘tickets’ or PCNs) in a single processing
centre employing up to 15 staff. This centre will ensure a
consistent approach is taken to deal with any challenges or
arguments with parking tickets. A software system will be used
which will link the processing centre with the Borough Council
and with the enforcement officers. Disabled badge data will be
incorporated into the central software to ensure efficient
enforcement of disabled parking and permit use. NCP Services
are expected to employ about 20 Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs)
across the county. Rushcliffe will deploy four CEOs. The
partnership has developed guidance on parking enforcement
ensuring that PCNs are issued according to national and local
standards and is consistent across the county.
EARTH MOVES FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN IN KEYWORTH
To
mark National Science and Engineering Week, the British
Geological Survey (BGS) ran a
Fossil and Rock Show at its headquarters in Keyworth. Nearly
1,000 children and their teachers from primary schools across
the East Midlands learnt how to pan for gold, record their own
earthquake and tiptoe through time with spectacular fossils
from the Geological Survey’s internationally renowned own
collections.
BGS was recently at the heart of the media whirlwind that
followed the Market Rasen earthquake. A geologist was on hand
to demonstrate to primary school children and their teachers
how earthquakes are recorded. Everyone was able to make their
own earthquake and take away a copy of the same sort of
seismic trace that was used to record the power of the Market
Rasen earthquake last month.
The British Geological Survey encourages interest in the
Earth's resources and history with a programme of events for
the public, schools and teachers alike. The events are aimed
to encourage everyone to take an active interest in science,
technology and geology in particular, helping to inspire a
future generation of local scientists.
Dr David Bailey, Head of Outreach at the British Geological
Survey, said: "The BGS works to bring earth science alive for
people of all ages. We were very excited to open our doors
during National Science and Engineering Week and hope everyone
who visited will be encouraged to learn more about geology and
science in general. Perhaps some of the young people taking
part will be inspired to become the geologists of the future."
"Geology is central to our lives; it affects the water we
drink, the dwellings we live in, the fuel that drives our
vehicles and even the jewellery we wear around our necks. Our
Science Week activities are a fun way of generating
understanding of our natural resources among schools and the
general public. “It is particularly important for young people
to understand that the way in which we manage our environment
and exploit our resources will have consequences for many
generations to come."
THE FOOD CHAMPIONS
Rushcliffe Borough Council is the East Midlands regional food
champion. The Council beat off stiff competition from 72 other
applications to be crowned as one of six regional champions in
community diet and nutrition in the Food Standards Agency’s
Food Champions Awards.
National food experts judged the Council’s innovative and
inspirational work and now the regional award winners go
forward to try and win the coveted national Food Champion
Award which takes place at the House of Commons in London on
Wednesday 11th June. The Council’s bid to win an award was
supported and developed with its main partner in encouraging
people to eat healthily. Notts County teaching Primary Care
Trust
the Borough Council and the PCT jointly employ a health
development officer, Rose Melvin, who leads the passionate
drive with the environmental health team to encourage adults
and children to follow a balanced diet, eat well and lead a
healthy lifestyle. The Council also ensures food outlets are
clean and sell safe food, follow good food practices and
procedures and trains food handlers.
Allen Graham, chief executive at Rushcliffe Borough Council,
said: “We have a very positive and fruitful working
relationship with our local Primary Care Trust and together we
make a real difference to people’s lives. This award is a
testament to the dedication, innovation and hard work of
staff.
Dr Clive Richards, consultant in public health medicine at
Nottinghamshire County teaching PCT said: "This award is a
great achievement for our partnership and shows the advantages
of working together.”
TOP AWARD FOR MEDIA GROUP
The Media Group (TMG), based at the Wilford Business Park, has
received three certificates to confirm that their services
have been recognised by a top international kitemark.
TMG has been awarded ISO 9001, the international standard for
an organisation’s internal quality management, with
certificates being awarded to each of their three divisions.
The Media Group is run by Managing Director Keith Daniell and
his wife and co-Director Alison Daniell. They told The Local
News: “We are proud to receive the award. The assessors paid
us a marvellous compliment by saying that we are doing things
the right way. “Normally the award is accompanied by some
action points but for us there were none. Getting an ISO award
is recognition of our process and systems and is a crucial
factor in winning major contracts,” Keith added.
Since being established as a limited company in 2001, TMG has
expanded to employ more than 60 staff, spread over three
divisions, which are; media, outsourced administration (TMG
Support) and TMG CRB, which is one of the country’s largest
umbrella bodies for the Criminal Records Bureau.
IMPROVEMENTS TO BINGHAM
COMMUTER ROUTE
The X1 commuter route from Bingham to Nottingham is to undergo
minor changes from this month. The service by localbus has
proved a real hit with customers since it’s launch last
December.
Now following customer feedback, minor changes are
being made as from Monday 21st April. A localbus spokesman
told The Local News: “Every week the customer numbers increase
now word is spreading that the X1 is both fantastic value for
money and very reliable. This peak-time service from Whatton
and Aslockton, Bingham and Radcliffe Harlequin speeds
commuters into Nottingham. The city centre loop means
customers can get on and off at Broadmarsh and Victoria
Centres and some journeys even extend to the QMC.
“We recently asked our customers how we could make the X1 even
better and they told us: they loved our great value fares, the
city loop was good but they also wanted to get on at Friar
Lane, and the afternoon return buses could be better timed.
“Our great value and very popular ‘10trip’ ticket will be even
better value for money, because the price is reduced to just
£10, so that’s just £1 per trip! Then in the afternoon buses
now run every 20 minutes and after starting at Victoria Centre
will call at Friar Lane (stop F2) on the way to Broadmarsh
(Collin Street), the Train Station and then out to Bingham.
And for a little extra comfort, we’ll be using one of
Premiere’s luxury coaches on the longer journeys to and from
Whatton.”

CELEBRATING GUIDING IN RUSHCLIFFE
With Girlguiding UK celebrating its
centenary in 2010, plans are already underway to mark the
achievement with a series of events throughout the year.
But to
ensure that 2010 is a truly memorable milestone for every one of
its 9,000 members across the county, Girlguiding Nottinghamshire
has issued a plea for sponsors to come forward. County
Commissioner Dee Miles told The Local News: “We are already
booking venues in order to ensure adequate facilities for the
sheer numbers involved, so are having to draw heavily on our own
funds. The team organising the programme estimates the costs for
the celebration year will be in the region of £150,000, much of
which will be taken up by venue hire. “We do intend to self-fund
as far as possible but we’re also inviting the business and
commercial community across Nottinghamshire to consider
providing sponsorship.” If you can help call 0115 987 7220 or

DAYNCOURT CELEBRATES SCIENCE
AND ENGINEERING WEEK
The Science Department at Dayncourt School in
Radcliffe-on-Trent provided a variety of events to students in
Years 3, 5, 8 and 9 as part of National Science and
Engineering Week. This is a ten-day celebration of science,
engineering and technology which sees families, schools,
adults and children taking part in a fantastic array of events
and activities across the country.
This year the school was awarded a grant of £500 by the East
Midlands section of the British Association for the Advancement
of Science to help to fund a morning of science activities for
Year 5 pupils from their feeder schools. These included;
Radcliffe-on-Trent Junior School, Cotgrave Candleby Lane School
and Cotgrave Church of England Primary School. A total of 22 of
their most hard-working Year 9 students were on hand to help the
visitors with some practical work. The Year 5 pupils worked in
the school laboratories using a technique called flame testing
to identify some mystery chemicals. When a salt is heated up, it
gives off a particular colour that can be used to identify the
metal. The pupils were all enthusiastic about their experience.
Emma said: “I learnt how to flame test. It was fun and I learned
that science isn’t boring.”
Leonie added: “I have enjoyed doing the work although I was a
bit scared at the start. I was not confident with fire at the
beginning of the lesson but now I’m confident with fire. I loved
this lesson and it was fun. I have learned how to use a Bunsen
burner. I thought that using a Bunsen is very easy and
interesting.”

RUDDINGTON HGV PROBLEM DISCUSSED AT MEETING
A well
attended public meeting was held in St. Peter's Rooms in
Ruddington last month to discuss the ever increasing problem
of HGVs using the village. Lorries use Ruddington as a rat run
between the A453 (M1) and A60 and vice-versa.
The residents left no doubt of their anger and frustration
with the authorities at lack of action on their part to stop
this type of traffic. To get their message across a Working
Party was formed to look at various methods to resolve this
problem, some of which were suggested at the meeting. A list
of names was also taken of people who volunteered to help with
any surveys or related matters. It was also accepted that
unless something is done the situation will only get worse due
to more houses being built in Ruddington and new businesses in
the area. Full support from the three Councillors from the
Parish Environmental Committee who arranged the meeting was
given by them. They also expressed appreciation for the
turnout and the willingness of the residents to get something
done.
The Parish Council Office in St Peter's Rooms can be contacted
by calling 0115 9146 660 or by sending an email to

CENTRE REOPENS
A Building for community and church groups in Ruddington has
reopened after a £300,000 refurbishment. The grade-II listed
Hermitage building by St Peter's Church has thrown open its
doors to the public with a brand new look.
A survey of the building in 2005 found structural work was
needed and work has been carried out over the last two years.
A number or organisations across the area have provided the
funding.
The kitchen has been upgraded and the building has been
decorated inside and out. A new main entrance area has been
created with storage and toilets.
The building was opened last month in special ceremony by
Mayor of Rushcliffe, Councillor Christine Jeffreys.
LOCAL HOCKEY CLUB THROUGH TO FINAL
South Nottingham Hockey Club are through to the final of the
England Hockey Vase semi-final. They played Ashbourne HC at
Bingham and ran out deserved winners by seven goals to nil.
South got off to a fine start after only eight minutes through
a piledriver from Jon Lane which was deflected over the
Ashbourne 'keeper off a defender's stick. On 19 minutes, Saleem
took the ball to the right of the D and delivered an
inch-perfect cross which David Ebbage met at full stretch to put
South two-up. A second goal by Jon Lane had the supporters
cheering again as South went in three-up at the break. Ashbourne
tried their best to respond, but South were just too strong and
the second-half saw the Derbyshire side's discipline desert
them, and a flurry of four bookings saw the visitors down to ten
men several times. The final fifteen minutes saw Ashbourne lose
their keeper to a red card, which required them to bring on a
defender as their 'reserve' keeper. South added goals in the
second half through Adam Innocent (2), Martin Ebbage and Stuart
Croston and South were well worth their win. South will face
University College London Academicals HC in the final on
Saturday 3rd May at Old Loughtonians in Chigwell, Essex.
