CENTRAL AVENUE – MOST LAWLESS ROAD
The pedestrianisation of Central Avenue was heralded as a victory for pedestrians and a bright new future. Why is it then, that as I sit with coffee at a pavement café, I count countless law breakers entering the 7am until 7pm curfew for cars? There is a flagrant disregard for the law and the restrictions and no entry signs are abused by countless motorists, vans and lorries, not to mention the cyclists... Read More
SUPPORT THE RCVS SCHEME
As part of its cost-cutting programme from April 2010, Nottinghamshire County Council is proposing to withdraw its financial support for the voluntary transport scheme, operated by the Rushcliffe Community and Voluntary Service (RCVS). Around 50 volunteer drivers, using their own cars, provide transport at concessionary rates for people over 60 (although some with disabilities are younger) living in... Read More
THANK-YOU FROM NSPCC
I would like to say a big thank you to all of your readers who have done their bit to support the NSPCC throughout 2009, our 125th anniversary year. Thanks to the public giving generously through the NSPCC’s Child’s Voice Appeal, we have made significant strides this year in increasing the capacity of our helpline services, ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline, to reach out to more vulnerable children...

MORE JUNCTION NIGHTMARES
I was quite bemused by the letter in your last issue (Local News – November) from P. Cowell regarding the junction on Radcliffe Road and Abbey Road. Having lived on the junction at Radcliffe Road and Davies Road for over 40 years I would not advise anyone to use this junction, especially in the rush hour. Rarely a week goes past without an accident, mainly caused by speeding traffic over Gamston... Read More
TRAM DEBATE GONE QUIET
It seems the debate about the tram coming to Clifton has gone very quiet. I used to look forward to the drivel written by those who tried to find reasons to stop it. I see the development plans for Nottingham train station has been given a multi-million pound go-ahead. With the transport interchange to be part of this, surely it’s another sign that the tram extension will go ahead. We are always... Read More
CAN’T WAIT FOR A453 WIDENING
I read the letter in your paper from G. Snell (Local News – October) about the widening of the A453. I drive that road every day as I work for a local bus company and do the East Midlands Airport run. I can’t wait till it’s been done. It usually takes 50 minutes to get to the airport, but with the amount of traffic using the A453, it can sometimes take us anywhere between 90 to 160... Read More
TRAM TO THE AIRPORT?
In answer to G SnelI (Local News – October) I was not harping on. Have you ever tried to cross this road at any time of the day? It really is a nightmare. As for public transport, has anyone ever thought about putting the proposed new tram line all the way up to East Midlands Airport? Then there would be a line all the way across Nottingham.

KEEP CLIFTON CLEAN
I have lived in Clifton since my birth in 1956 and with short spells living elsewhere it has always felt like home on return. Do people from Clifton realise how lucky they are? We are surrounded by spectacular countryside, woodland and a river valley. These, at great expense, have been opened up with footpaths that you can walk for hours without seeing a car. Sadly though this idyllic scene is marred... Read More
