To consider objections received in respect of the above Traffic Regulation Order and whether it should be made as advertised. Information 2. Lantern Lane is a residential road in the village of East Leake approximately 12 miles south of Nottingham. Lantern Lane comprises of predominately semi-detached properties, the majority of which have off-street parking. However, East Leake Leisure Centre and a primary and secondary school are located on Lantern Lane with their shared vehicular access road on its southern side in the form of a simple priority T-junction. 3. Complaints have been received from several bus operators that provide bus services to East Leake Academy regarding obstructive parking at the junction with Lantern Lane with the school access road. Within the school site, bus stops and a turning area enable the buses to safely drop off and pick up passengers. However, parked vehicles at the access road junction frequently inhibit turning movements into and out of the school drive. 4. A feasibility study was undertaken in January 2018 to determine an appropriate scheme to address these issues. This included vehicle tracking modelling to determine the length of the restrictions required. Three options were considered, these include: Option 1 – proposed the introduction of double yellow lines; Option 2 – considered the installation of an enforceable School Keep Clear marking across the school entrance and the installation of a single yellow line (Mon – Fri 8.00-4.30 pm) opposite the school entrance; Option 3 – considered the installation of double yellow lines (No Waiting At Any Time) immediately around the junction and single yellow lines (No Waiting Monday to Friday 8.00- 4.30 pm), opposite the school entrance and adjacent to it. Page 5 of 1781 5. It was considered by officers that Option 3 would provide sufficient balance between facilitating bus movements to the school and the needs of local residents at evenings and weekends. The statutory consultation and public advertisement of the proposals, detailed on the attached drawing H/SLW/2617/04, was carried out between 26th April 2018 and 25th May 2018. Objections Received 6. Five responses were received to the consultation. One response, from the Parish Council, was supportive of the proposal whilst noting the need for enforcement of the restrictions. The remaining four responses are considered to be outstanding objections to the proposals. 7. Objection – Loss of on-street parking Three respondents objected to the loss of on-street parking. All stated that they either did not have access to off-street parking, or that their off-street parking provision was insufficient to accommodate the number of vehicles they owned. All these respondents stated that the problems were the result of parent/carers parking at school times. Other specific comments included: Acknowledging the need for buses to access the school site, but they did not feel the restrictions were required to the extent proposed; Concern expressed regarding the availability of parking for their visitors and questioned where they were to park at weekends and that the double yellow line restriction would inconvenience them when washing and valeting their vehicles, as this was the nearest location to their property; Resident currently unable to park on their shared driveway as this would block access for their neighbour and stated that their driveway should be widened as part of the scheme; Suggestions that parking bays should be created, inset into the footway, on Leake Lane to provide further parking for residents. 8. Response – Loss of on-street parking Nottinghamshire County Council as the Local Highway Authority has no duty to provide on- street parking and there is no legal right for a householder to park in close proximity to their property. The purpose of the highway network is for the movement of vehicles and not for residents’ parking, although it is recognised that demand for such parking exists particularly in residential areas with limited off-street parking. However it is the responsibility of the vehicle owner to ensure their vehicle is not parked in such a way as to cause an obstruction. This may require residents with insufficient or no private off-street parking provision to make other arrangements for parking their own vehicle, perhaps further away from their property, in order to ensure their vehicle is parked appropriately and lawfully. 9. The restrictions have been kept to the minimum necessary to ensure the safe operation of the access road junction and that required for bus turning movements. The double yellow lines on the southern side, around the access road, are required to ensure this junction is kept clear of vehicles at all times as this access is also used by the leisure centre, which is open at weekends. The remaining restrictions, required to facilitate school bus movements, are proposed for school times only. Outside of these hours (Mon-Fri 8.00am – 4.30pm) residents and visitors will be able to use this highway for waiting and parking. 10. The land over which the third respondent’s driveway is situated is not public highway and does not belong to the County Council. If the respondent wishes to widen their driveway they will Page 62 of 178 need to negotiate this privately with the relevant landowner, at their expense. Likewise if residents require parking provision it is their responsibility to provide this and they may wish to consider the conversion of land within their property boundary to achieve this. It is not a duty of the County Council to construct inset parking bays on-street for the use of any specific individual or group and it is to be noted that no restrictions are proposed for adjacent sections of Lantern Lane and the wider local highway network, which will remain available for residents and their visitors.

  • Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve Oyster Fungus on Birch, Birklands
    Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve Oyster fungus on birch, Birklands Introduction In the heart of Nottinghamshire lie the ancient forests of Birklands and Budby, an extensive area of old pasture-woodland and heathland on the dry nutrient-poor soils © Peter Wakely/Natural England © Peter Wakely/Natural of the Sherwood Sandstone. Together they represent a rare and wonderful fragment of the great forest of Sherwood, one of the most famous forests in the world. Today, over 420 hectares of this internationally important forest is now managed as a National Nature Reserve (NNR). © Peter Wakely/Natural England © Peter Wakely/Natural Ancient wood-pasture, Birklands “By itself it stands, and is like no other spot on which my eyes have looked, or my feet have ever England © Peter Wakely/Natural trod. It is Birkland...” (Charles Reece Pemberton, 1835). Woodland glade, Birklands History Birklands, which is an old Viking word meaning ‘birch land’, was first mentioned in documents in 1251 and is likely to be at least one thousand years old. It was part of the vast Royal Forest of Sherwood that once covered over 41,000 hectares of the county. The wood remained the property of the Crown for nearly 600 years and was used as a source of timber, grazing land and as an exclusive hunting ground rich with wild deer for successive kings and queens of England. Contrary to popular opinion, much of the historic Sherwood Forest was, in fact, tree-less, being dominated by wild open plains of heathland such as Budby South Forest. This uncultivated forest land was once grazed by wild deer, rabbits and livestock; and its trees, gorse and bracken were collected by local people for fuel and fodder.

  • BUSINESS and OCCUPATION During the Twentieth Century
    BUSINESS and OCCUPATION During the twentieth century. East Bridgford has changed from a largely self-sufficient agri­ cultural village to a commuter village. Whereas villagers once worked and bought virtually all of their goods within the village, the opposite is now true. This chapter looks at how business and occupations have changed during the course of the century in East Bridgford. East Bridgford in 1901 At the beginning of the century. East Bridgford was in decline. Its four brickyards and mak­ ings businesses had closed. Consequently, the population had steadily decreased from a peak of 1155 in 1851 to 756 by 1901. Arthur Du Boulay-Hill' quotes an account from two elderly parishioners, Samuel Curtis and John Dent at the turn of the century, referring to more prosperous times in 1837... " Well Bridgford has gone down since them days! Why I remember back in the year the Queen was crowned what a lot of work there was which has all gone now. First the malting; though at that time men were mostly employed by the week from outside. There were four at the old malt-house by the river, one at Poole's, one at Matt. Millingtons, that's six maltsters. 'Then the four Brickyards, Potteries, Herod's yard, Doncaster's in Brickyard Lane, and the Foss Yard, employed nine men and perhaps twelve lads. 'Then the Boats; there were four boats, belonging to W Has kinson*, Mr. Millington, F. Poole, and J. Holloway, three men to each boat; and later on three large gravel boats with five men to each, owned by R.

Like a lot of small towns, if you look, there is still a lot of charm. Park next to the Priory and follow the Worksop Heritage Trail via Priorswell Road, Potter Street, Westgate, Lead Hill and the castle mound, Newcastle Avenue and Bridge Street. Sit in the Memorial Gardens for a while, before taking a stroll along the canal. Visit Mr Straw’s House(National Trust) BUT you must have pre-booked as so many people want to see it.

    2 In memory of Jeffrey Martin Whittock (1927–2013), much-loved and respected father and papa. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS A number of people provided valuable advice which assisted in the preparation of this book; without them, of course, carrying any responsibility for the interpretations offered by the book. We are particularly indebted to our agent Robert Dudley who, as always, offered guidance and support, as did Simon Hamlet and Mark Beynon at The History Press. In addition, Bradford-on-Avon library, and the Wiltshire and the Somerset Library services, provided access to resources through the inter-library loans service. For their help and for this service we are very grateful. Through Hannah’s undergraduate BA studies and then MPhil studies in the department of Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic (ASNC) at Cambridge University (2008–12), the invaluable input of many brilliant academics has shaped our understanding of this exciting and complex period of history, and its challenging sources of evidence. The resulting familiarity with Old English, Old Norse and Insular Latin has greatly assisted in critical reflection on the written sources. As always, the support and interest provided by close family and friends cannot be measured but is much appreciated. And they have been patient as meal-time conversations have given way to discussions of the achievements of Alfred and Athelstan, the impact of Eric Bloodaxe and the agendas of the compilers of the 4 Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. 5 CONTENTS Title Dedication Acknowledgements Introduction 1 The Gathering
