Executive summary Sustrans is a charity to promote Sustainable Transport with the main focus on the development of the cycle network, both in the inner towns as well as linking the rural communities. You may be aware that a couple years ago there was talk about developing the Trent Valley Way into a family friendly route for walkers, cyclists, wheelchairs and push chairs multi user permissive cycleway to link the villages and attractions on the eastern side of the Trent. The idea came about during the time of the Trent Vale Landscape Partnership (TVLP) and involved the local parishes, businesses and charity groups. There was a lot of support for the idea amongst people from the area who came to TVLP meetings and other subsequent events. A path suitable for all, connecting the various attractions and villages was however never in the scope of this £2,750,000 project! The Sustrans volunteer rangers in the Newark area have pursued the idea of the Trent Vale Trail, with the various groups and charities and the support of the local County Councillor Maureen Dobson. They are now formally working with representatives of the various organisations and authorities to take a formal proposal forward. The proposal is for a multi user trail from Collingham to Fledborough Viaduct (phase 2) building on the success of the Newark to Collingham route (phase 1). There is a further desire to extend the route north along the Trent Valley to Torksey Lock and Viaduct and possibly to Gainsborough. This is an area which is currently not serviced by the National Cycle Network. In 2015 the RSPB in partnership with Nature After Minerals published their vision: “The Trent and Tame River Valleys will once again be one of the great British wetlands, providing a wetland artery for wildlife in an attractive, multi-functional and inspiring landscape loved and valued by all.” The feedback received during the initial reviews highlighted many benefits A safe route for locals and visitors to explore the southern part of the Trent Vale Connections between villages and the service centre of Collingham without using the busy A1133. Parents taking children out after school will also benefit from this. The trail aims to be accessible

Welcome to the Spring edition of Stepout. A subject that keeps cropping up at meetings is the question of what the Ramblers does for us. It’s a bit like the Life of Brian sketch ‘what did the Romans do for us?’ In this edition I will attempt to give an answer to that question. I know that many of us do realise the importance of the Ramblers so I apologise to those in advance. Sadly last year our past Chairman, Graham Rothery passed away. He became Area Countryside Secretary in January 2007 but later in 2008 he became Area Chairman, a position he held until November 2011. He was the MD of Pace Print, who produce Stepout for us. Walking was a great part of his life and in addition to his involvement with the Ramblers he was Chairman of the Heart of England Way Association.

  • East Midlands
    Liberal Democrat submission for BCE 3rd consultation East Midlands Submission to the Boundary Commission for England third period of consultation: East Midlands Summary There is a factual error in the Commission’s report concerning the Liberal Democrat counter-proposals in the Leicestershire / Northamptonshire / Nottinghamshire / Rutland sub-region. We would, therefore, ask the Commission to reconsider the scheme we put forward. We welcome the change the Commission has made to its proposal for Mansfield. We welcome the fact that the Commission has kept to its original proposals in Lincolnshire, much of Derbyshire and Derby, and in Northampton. We consider that the changes that the Commission has made to four constituencies in Derbyshire, affecting the disposition of three wards, are finely balanced judgement calls with which we are content to accept the Commission’s view. The change that the Commission has made to the Kettering and Wellingborough constituencies would not have needed to be considered if it had agreed to our proposal for an unchanged Wellingborough seat. The Commission’s proposal to move the Burton Joyce and Stoke Bardolph ward into its proposed Sherwood constituency means that it is now proposing three Nottinghamshire constituencies (Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Sherwood) which contain a ward which is inaccessible from the rest of the seat. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to comply with the spirit of the legislation or the letter of its own guidelines in respect of these three proposed constituencies. We are not in agreement with the Commission’s failure to respect the boundaries of the City of Nottingham to the extent of proposing three constituencies that cross the Unitary Authority boundary.

  • Village Hall
    Harby Thorney Wigsley Community Led Plan TRIO HARBY, THORNEY & WIGSLEY NEWSLETTER HarbyHarby ThorneyThorney Wigsley Wigsley Community Led Led Plan Plan The three parishes of Harby, Thorney and Wigsley came together again to present their findings from the Surveys which we have now analysed This was the day for all residents to look at the findings and have their say on what happens next. Residents were invited to comment on issues which need urgent attention or solving within a two year time frame, or maybe some issues are more complicated or less urgent and can be addressed within the next six years. Finally, residents were invited to decide on long term issues which could be tackled in the second half of the plan ie. within the next ten years. It is now the working parties and steering group responsibility to work with our Rural Community advisors, to draw all comments together and write an action plan for the next ten years. We had approximately 70 residents visit the hall, where as well as making their comments on the issues raised, they enjoyed the free soup and sandwiches provided by the committee members. The next public event will be in the new year when the final plan will be in draft form. You will once more be invited to see if we have achieved our objective of writing a plan which represents the voices of all residents. Once again there will be free refreshments provided to enjoy while you inspect the results of our combined hard work.
