CHANGES TO THE LOCAL/COMMERCIAL BUS SERVICE NETWORK (SOUTH NOTTINGHAM AREA) The reason for the late submission of the report was due to a major bus operator ceased trading at 5 pm on Friday 25 January 2013 and County Council was only formally notified at 2 pm on the same day.

CHANGES TO THE LOCAL/COMMERCIAL BUS SERVICE NETWORK (BASSETLAW AREA) The reason for the late submission of the report is that the notification by the bus operator to terminate all supported local services and requirements for approval to re- tender services in a short time period between committee dates and new services need to be in place by 1 April 2013 with the required 56 day service registration. RESOLVED 2013/020 That approval be given to:- 1. the proposals for the Bassetlaw area Bus network between Retford, Worksop, Ollerton and Nottingham as set out in the exempt appendix of the report. 2. the award of the service subsidy agreement with Stagecoach East Midlands for the revised Sherwood Arrow service and support for a summer Sunday service to the Sherwood Vistor on a trial basis and 3. the Competitive tendering of the remaining Yourbus services to operate from April 2013.

CHANGES TO THE LOCAL/COMMERCIAL BUS SERVICE NETWORK (BASSETLAW AREA) RESOLVED 2013/22 Page 6 of 222 4 That the exempt appendix be noted The meeting closed at 12.17 pm. CHAIRMAN Page 7 of 222 5 Page 8 of 222 Report to Transport & Highways Committee 21 March 2013 Agenda Item: REPORT OF THE SERVICE DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORT, PROPERTY AND ENVIRONMENT TITAN PROJECT PROGRESS REPORT AND DRAFT COMMISSIONING MODEL Purpose of the Report 1. To provide an update of the Towards Integrated Transport Across Nottinghamshire (TITAN) project. 2. To seek Committee approval for the implementation of a county wide Independent Travel Training scheme. 3. To seek Committee approval for the proposed commissioning model for future TITAN tenders. Background 4. The purpose of the TITAN project is to reconfigure passenger transport services to make more efficient use of the resources available whilst improving access to key services for the people of Nottinghamshire. The project is tasked with saving a total of £2.08m countywide and has delivered £988k savings to date. 5. There is one defined pilot area which covers the Newark, Ollerton and Southwell areas, and four other project areas, known as: Area 2 – Mansfield and Ashfield Area 3 – Rushcliffe Area 4 – Central Nottinghamshire Conurbation Area 5 - Bassetlaw TITAN Progress 6. On 7 January the revised services started operating in the Newark pilot area. A new Community Transport operator became established in Nottinghamshire in order to deliver some of these services and staff from Transport and Travel Services (TTS) assisted in training new drivers on the service routes prior to the start date. Page 9 of 222 1 7. Procedures were put in place to manage the implementation of the new pilot area services and, whilst most things went to plan, there were one or two errors in the more detailed publicity information. These were rectified as soon as identified and additional stages to the validation process for future publicity information will be introduced for the next phase. 8. New services have been operating well although there have been one or two changes made in response to feedback from transport operators and members of the public. 9. Research and planning work is currently ongoing in relation to areas across the remainder of the county (areas 2 to 5).

  • The State and the Country House in Nottinghamshire, 1937-1967
    THE STATE AND THE COUNTRY HOUSE IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE, 1937-1967 Matthew Kempson, BSc. MA. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy March 2006 Abstract This thesis considers the state preservation and use of Nottinghamshire country houses during the mid-twentieth century, from the initiation of mass requisition in 1937 until 1967 when concerns for architectural preservation moved away from the country house. This thesis reviews literature on the landed estate in the twentieth century and the emergence of preservationist claims on the country house. Three substantive sections follow. The first discusses the declining representation of landowners within local governance in Nottinghamshire and the constitution of the County Council, and considers how estate space was incorporated within broadened concerns for the preservation of the historic environment and additionally provided the focus for the implementation of a variety of modern state and non-state functions. The second section considers how changing policy and aesthetic judgements impacted upon the preservation of country houses. Through discussion of Rufford Abbey, Winkburn Hall and Ossington Hall I consider the complexities of preservationist claims and how these conflicted with the responsibilities of the state and the demands of private landowners. The third section considers how estate space became valued by local authorities in the implementation of a variety of new modern educational uses, including the teacher training college at Eaton Hall and a school campus development at Bramcote Hills. The thesis concludes by considering the status of the country house in Nottinghamshire since 1967, and contemporary demands on the spaces considered historically in this study.
