In Bassetlaw, however, the first sign that spring is just around the corner is heralded by the annual Hodscock Snowdrop Festival. This event attracts visitors from far and wide to see the millions of snowdrops in fragrant winter borders. The height of summer is the time when musical, artistic and cultural activities are staged throughout the district and the rural villages of Bassetlaw abound with summer festivities. Many residents open their gardens to the public and stage spectacular village events. A leisurely walk along the Chesterfield Canal is probably one of the best ways to enjoy a long summer evening, stopping to sample the delights of one the many picturesque pubs along the way. As evenings draw in and the leaves turn to gold, the stunning autumnal displays seen in Clumber Park can easily rival those of America’s New England states.

  • Draft Bassetlaw Local Plan NOVEMBER 2020
    Draft Bassetlaw Local Plan NOVEMBER 2020 DRAFT Foreword This new draft Bassetlaw Local Plan provides an ambitious, innovative and positive planning framework to shape the future of the District to 2037 and identifies where, when and how new development will be delivered. Bassetlaw is undergoing huge change, over this Local Plan’s timeframe it is our ambition that it will become a modern and prosperous District. Ensuring that Bassetlaw has robust, effective and up-to date planning policies that secure our long-term economic future which continue to adapt and embrace changing circumstances, such as climate change, a growing population, and that deliver the Government’s required housing and growth targets will be key to our long term achievements. Providing for the Government’s commitment to housing growth is extremely challenging. This Plan makes good use of brownfield land; this has been showcased in the way we are promoting town centre regenerations, improvements to neighbourhoods and re-use of former power station sites. But to meet the Government’s targets other land is required. By planning for growth through this Plan we can make sure that housing and businesses are accompanied by the right infrastructure to help our communities sustainably grow. Growth will have an emphasis on healthy lifestyles and active travel; this draft Plan provides for more walking and cycling routes, new parks and open spaces, sports facilities and improvements to health facilities to the benefit of existing and new communities. Ensuring our communities are better able to make the transition to a low carbon lifestyle is a vital part of this Plan.

  • Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 17
    Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP 10 Downing Street London SW1A 2AA 17 March 2020 Dear Prime Minister, The advice to avoid hospitality venues, coupled with the speed of coronavirus developments compels us to write less than a week since the Budget commitments to assist businesses through the hardest time in living memory. Hospitality trade and footfall plummeted by up to 70% prior to your comments yesterday and will undoubtedly have worsened since, genuinely posing an existential threat to our businesses and the jobs. Hospitality represents 10% of UK employment and 5% of GDP and the shockwaves of a sector-wide failure would be socially, culturally and economically devastating. The Budget brought succour to some SMEs in our sector but left 7 out of 10 hotels, pubs, restaurants and attractions unsupported. Without further urgent intervention we face unprecedented levels of business closure – staff are already being laid off and the situation will only become more severe. We need Government action now, to: extend the business rates and NIC holiday to all hospitality businesses for at least six months; follow the lead of other countries such as the USA, France and Denmark by committing to additional working capital support while funding salaries and retaining staff and; call on landlords and banks to avoid forfeiture of rent payments. Hospitality is in a potentially fatal cashflow catastrophe, but all is not lost. With the right support from Government, our valuable sector will be able to focus on its teams and may yet forge ahead for the benefit of the British economy and people. The biggest threat to its ability to do so is that support comes either too late or not at adequate levels to see us through: we implore you to act on the above, without delay.
