Drama Group Consultation
- 10th March 2021

East Bridgford Drama Group are pleased to be considering when it would be prudent to put on our next production, and we would like to ask our friends, Patrons and supporters for their thoughts.

Taking into consideration the size of the Village Hall, we would like to ask:

1) When restrictions are off later in the year, would you be happy to come back to the E.B. Village hall to support our next production?

2) Would you wish to see any changes to the seating arrangements?

3) Would you expect to have an interval with a drink, or would you prefer to stay seated?

4) Would you prefer that we asked audiences to wear a mask or not? (with medical exemptions, of course)

5) Would you wish us to ask that attendees have been vaccinated?

We would really appreciate your thoughts and comments on these questions and any other issues of concern.

Please send any comments to me. Thank you.

The Proposed Butt Lane Development
- 14th August 2020

There is soon likely to be a planning application up for consultation to build a substantial development of housing between Butt Lane and Closes Side Lane on the east side of the village heading towards the A46.

At this time the planning application for the development has not yet been made available on the Rushcliffe Borough Council web site. Therefore we can't give you all the details about the application but we can inform you that it is likely to be publicised soon and we can explain some of the ways in which you could have your opinions heard once it is.

Until the application is made public and we can see what is actually being proposed, all we have is speculation about what may be in the final application. We would suggest that you wait until the application is made public and then we can all see what is really being proposed, before you make comment.

The Parish Council wants to ensure that as many people as wish to voice their opinion have an opportunity to do so. The following are some ways you might do this....

Coronvirus – Advice for Allotment Holders
- 25th March 2020

Dear Allotment Holder

Several people have asked whether they can tend their allotment during the lockdown. The following is taken from the question and answer section on the BBC website: Speaking after the announcement of the new government restrictions, Michael Gove said he thought it was "perfectly sensible for people to go to an allotment". Rules on social distancing would apply for tending an allotment – as with all other activities outside the house – but Mr Gove said that it was "in the very nature of allotments that there's a safe distance between people who are working on individual allotments".

Keep well and safe, and happy growing!

Butt close Play Area and Pavilion Closed
- 25th March 2020

Butt Close because of its public footpaths remains open for daily exercise but in line with Government restrictions or advice there should be no activities of groups of more than 2 people, except if you all live together, and everyone should keep 2 metres apart.

Freeview television interference
- 7th November 2018

Some residents in the south east of the village have recently experienced increased interference, such as freezing and picture break-ups on certain Freeview channels, which has been identified as mobile signal interference, almost certainly from the new mast on Springdale Lane. This specific interference can be eliminated by the use of a filter placed between the aerial and the TV. If you think you are affected visit this website for contact details of how to proceed: Freeview TV Interference – the process is usually free if the interference is from the mast.

Street Map for East Bridgford
- 3rd October 2018

East Bridgford currently has two excellent printed ‘flyers’ for residents and visitors, one showing the parish footpaths, the other the “Village Walking Companion” produced by the East Bridgford History Group. There is also a very good interactive link to Google maps on the East Bridgford website with the capacity to focus on some specific places, like the Methodist Chapel, for instance. However, looking at some other villages’ websites highlights a gap in our provision – a printable comprehensive street map and guide, showing all the street locations and names, together with key features, services and landmarks.
The Parish Council is investigating how we might design & produce such a map, but there is probably a number of people in the village who have the knowledge and expertise to contribute to or even carry out such a project, and we thought it worth asking for your help. If you would like to be involved, please contact Cllr. Phil Clarke on 20822 or by e-mail at clarkephilipa@aol.com in the first instance.

Fosse 5 Church Walk Monday 7th May 2018 – Thank you!
- 29th June 2018

We would like to thank everyone who joined our Fosse 5 walk on Monday 7th May, and all of the volunteers who helped make the walk a success.

The weather worked in our favour, perhaps a little too hot, none the less 141 walkers took part, and we raised a total of over £2,500 for the nominated charities.

Thanks again to all who took part and helped raise this excellent amount, and with this encouragement we will think about making this annual event!

The Sports Club Extension to the Pavilion
- 26th June 2018

The Sports Club has successfully raised £150K to enable an extension to the pavilion to be built. The contract with the builder has been signed and work starts on 16th July. This has been achieved by close cooperation between the Parish Council and Sports Club with both parties noting the comments made by villagers in the recent surveys and Public Meeting about use of the pavilion.

This new build will provide an opportunity for wider use of the pavilion to support sporting and recreational activities on Butts Field. There remain some restrictions but greater access and flexibility of use is required by the Grant makers. The Sports Club is seeking volunteers to help run activities such as teenage table tennis and will consider other new clubs being created as Associate Members of the Sports Club.

Individuals with ideas are asked to contact the Secretary, Peter Cross, on petercross56@aol.com or 07946 522629

Best Kept Village Competition 2018
- 9th April 2018

The Parish Council has decided to enter the Best Kept Village Competition again this year, organised by CPRE (Nottinghamshire) and sponsored by Wilkinson's. Last year, our village was the runner-up in our category and everyone can feel rightfully proud of this result. This year, everyone will no doubt want to help the village to give the rightful image to the judges of what a great place it is in which to live and work. What can we do to achieve this?
The judges will come unannounced between June 4th and June 22nd for the first round of judging, and if we are shortlisted, a second visit between July 2nd and July 20th.

Marking is roughly equally spread between domestic housing, commercial premises and community facilities but the rules emphasise that what they are looking for is "evidence of pride and involvement". One small example of how that works in practice can be found in comments about notices. Positive comments about notices include informative, tidy, up to date; negative ones would be out-of-date, old staples sticking out, tattered edges – I'm sure you get the picture.

What can residents and businesses do to support our entry? First and foremost, please look at your own area through the judges' eyes. Has wind-blown litter gathered in a corner which can be tidied up? Are some weeds beginning to grow in the road gutters which need sorting out? There would normally have been a national tidy-up event at the beginning of March which was cancelled because of the weather. This will be rearranged for Saturday 2nd June meeting at 8-8.30am in the village car park, and again at 2pm in the afternoon where groups of volunteers will pick up litter, clean village signs and amenities etc. but this can only tackle a few areas and for a short time. If residents can keep a check on their own areas that would make a vast difference.

Secondly, this year is also the time for commemorating 100 years since the end of the First World War. Apart from formal events later in the year, the Parish Council, together with the help of some members of the Garden Club, is looking at ways this might be marked by floral displays, for example. Perhaps residents and businesses might wish to consider including a similar theme to some parts of your own gardens, frontages, planter tubs or hanging basket displays?

Reporting road, pavement and footpath problems
- 9th April 2018

Recent issues with potholes for example have shown the usefulness of online reporting. The following links may be used in the circumstances listed:

Nottinghamshire County Council Transport to Road maintenance:

www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/transport/roads

This produces a menu, with potholes, street lighting, grass cutting etc as choices on the right hand side of the screen.

Click on the issue you want to report and find an underlined link either directly or via further links to an online form. For example, when you choose street lighting, there is an underlined link in the text which reads Report a problem with street lighting. When you click on that there is more explanation followed by green box Report a streetlight defect. Clicking on this gives a map and the exact street light can be identified by searching by street or postcode
(all streetlights have a number on the pole). By entering your contact details, you will get e-mail confirmation of the report and feedback about the progress with the problem.

Notes:
Footpaths and bridleways come under Report a road or pavement problem, and there is a separate link just for potholes.

The A46 dual carriageway is a trunk road and hence the responsibility of Highways England not Notts County Council Highways.

If you would rather not use an online form, you can telephone 0300 500 80 80.

Generally, you need to be as precise as possible in describing the problem, so have all the information you need to hand.

You can also find on-line links for reporting problems on the village website as follows:

20th Annual Sporting Challenge
- 11th July 2017

20th Annual Sporting Challenge Congratulations to team Balder Ambition (Mark and Jamie Milward and Peter and Alfie Elliott) on being the overall winner at this year's Sporting Challenge on the eve of the Village Show.
The team repeated their triumph of 2016 by winning both the tennis and golf challenges and coming fourth in the cricket.

Overall winners Balder Ambition:

Last year’s winners (Dave, Jack, Charlotte and Max Powell), renamed One Man and his Sprogs, were close runners up by getting steady results rather than winning any sport outright.
Swift Kick in the Grass (Matt Buchan, Archie Raynor, Zoe Sawala and Gemma Lennon) took the honours in the football challenge, whereas team BenDy Boys (Ben and James Cusack and Dylan and Matt Hawkes) would be very welcome to join the Bowls Club after displaying their skills and winning the Bowls award. Planet Lammas (Shaun and Max McCabe and William and Mandy Rushden) showed the way at the wicket and claied the cricket award.

34 teams took part this year and all proceeds go to help maintain the pavilion. Many thanks to Nick and the football club who provided the BBQ, and to Chris and the cricket club for manning the beer tent, and also to our MC for the night, Rob Cree.

Cyber Crime Warning - Neighbourhood Watch
-15th May 2017

Following the ransomware cyber attack on Friday 12th May which affected the NHS and is believed to have affected other organisations globally, the City of London Police’s National Fraud Intelligence Bureau has issued an alert urging both individuals and businesses to follow protection advice immediately and in the coming days.

Ransomware is a form of malicious software (Malware) that enables cyber criminals to remotely lock down files on your computer or mobile device. Criminals will use ransomware to extort money from you (a ransom), before they restore access to your files. There are many ways that ransomware can infect your device, whether it be a link to a malicious website in an unsolicited email, or through a security vulnerability in a piece of software you use.

The National Cyber Security Centre’s technical guidance includes specific software patches to use that will prevent uninfected computers on your network from becoming infected with the ’WannaCry’ Ransomware:https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/ransomware-latest-ncsc-guidance

For additional in-depth technical guidance on how to protect your organisation from ransomware, details can be found here: https://www.ncsc.gov.uk/guidance/protecting-your-organisation-ransomware

Neighbourhood Watch — 999 or 101? (a reminder)
-24th April 2017

The following guidelines will help to ensure we contact the police in the most efficient way

Emergency Calls — 999
Should only be used where police attendance is required immediately such as when a crime is in progress or someone is at risk of attack

Local Police — 101
This number should be used for all other enquires including reporting crimes which have already happened (e.g. stolen car/ property damage), where there is no sign of an offender. Also, for general police information and advice

Meeting a police officer
If you wish to meet with a police officer you can call 101 and make an appointment at your local police station. Appointments are prioritised depending on the nature of the request. An appointment is necessary because stations are not always manned. Our local station is in the Rushcliffe Community Contact Centre at West Bridgford (Rectory Road, NG2 6BN)

Home visits are available if you're vulnerable and can't get to a police station.

The Scheduled Appointments Service frees up police officers' time, enabling them to resolve more incidents more quickly than they could if they travelled to see everyone who is a victim of crime.

Crimestoppers — 0800 555 111
If you wish to report a crime anonymously use this number

It’s very important to report crimes as otherwise rural communities may not be given the required level of resourcing they deserve.

VILLAGE SHOW COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANTED!
-9th December 2016

As a number of the current village show committee members are due to step down after this year’s show, having been part of the team for several years, we urgently need new volunteers to work alongside them this year with a view to taking over for the 2018 show. The committee meets once a month to organise the annual show, which is always held on the last Saturday in June. Plans are already underway for this year’s show, but we really need new volunteers to shadow a number of key roles to ensure the continuation of the show in future years.

Please contact Rob Bendy on 07785 506757 if you would like to help.

AN APPEAL TO DOG WALKERS
- 11th November 2016

“Dogs are much loved pets and companions, and with responsible ownership, problems for the whole community can be avoided.”

This statement was included in an article in April, alerting dog owners to increased responsibilities under the law. It recognises how dogs are valued and loved by their owners, and why the owners fulfil a dog’s needs for exercise by taking it for walks.
In this article, the Parish Council is appealing to the dog owning community to make a concerted effort to finally end the on-going issue of dog excrement being left on Butt Close, and surrounding footpaths.

It cannot be right when parents and teachers report that children involved in activities on the field have been contaminated by dog excrement, nor when a children’s football coach says that his first task is to patrol the playing area to identify and clear up mess. Most dog walkers clear up after their dogs but we need everyone to do it, and we ask all dog owners to continually be vigilant and challenge others who do not. In the end, the Council has a duty of care for the health of people using Butt Close for the activities associated with it being a playing field. People refer to it as ‘the park’ but it is not a park - it is a playing field with public footpaths defined around the edge of it. If the problem persists, we would have no choice other than to introduce formal measures to ensure the enjoyment, and more importantly, the safety and well-being of the children and others using it. For the avoidance of doubt, the measures required would be either restricting dogs to the footpaths only (which also means they would have to be on leads all the time), or a blanket ban. So, please, if you want to avoid that, let’s all take responsibility for getting it sorted out once and for all.

Coun. Phil Clarke

19th Annual Sporting Challenge
- 27th July 2016

A record number of teams took part in this year's Sporting Challenge on the eve of the Village Show - some familiar faces and plenty of new ones taking part for the first time. All 34 teams took part in trials set by the Tennis, Cricket, Bowls and Football clubs, with an extra golf event thrown in just for fun. Medals were awarded to the winning team for each sport, and the Richard Watkins trophy presented to the overall challenge winners, based on their average position in all five sports.

Congratulations to this year's winners who were first-timers Team Powell (David, Rachel, Jack and Charlotte Powell). They were really not expecting to be crowned champions as they had not won any of the sports outright, but by maintaining a steady average 8th position they came out top at the end of the night.

Dog Microchipping Legislation
- 6th April 2016

From 6th April, 2016, a new law requiring owners
to have their dogs microchipped and recorded on an authorised database came into force. The big benefit is that if the dog is lost, then found and handed over to the police or RSPCA, it can be rapidly reunited with its owner.
However, from that date, it will also be an offence to own a dog which is not microchipped as above. Police and local authorities personnel will be able to carry devices which instantly read and check the chip. If there is not one present or not recorded, at first owners may be given a time window in which to get the work done. A £500 fine will apply if this is not done. Further advice is available from various sources, such as the link below:
