Foreword As a Council, we have a duty to produce a Single Equality Scheme and this Strategy forms our next Scheme for 2021-2025, guiding our approach to increasing opportunities across the District and improving access to Council services. Bassetlaw District Council’s Equality & Diversity Strategy 2021-2025 builds on the foundations of our previous strategy to ensure that equality is further embedded into our policies, procedures and every- day working, and that we embrace diversity and recognise that everyone has their own unique needs, characteristics, skills, and abilities. The year 2020 was an exceptionally challenging year for all of us. The Covid-19 pandemic meant that the Council needed to provide extra support to the most vulnerable in society and find new ways to deliver its services. The next four years will be a critical period for the Council and its partners in ensuring Bassetlaw’s economy can bounce back from the impacts of Covid-19 and Brexit, and that residents and businesses can continue to be supported effectively. The Strategy is the next step in a journey to better understand our communities and anticipate the needs of residents and service users. The Strategy identifies five key objectives for the next four years, and the actions we will take to deliver each of these. The objectives have been identified through our ongoing conversations with residents, and analysing the latest data both internally and externally.

  • 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.

  • NBPT 1987/07 Conservation in Notts Vol 9 No 2
    inNotti The Newsletter of the Nottinghamshire Building Preservation Trust Limited A PERSONAL NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN There is a well known aphorism, which says that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance. We who suppor t the Trust could think of ano ther version of it: the price of conservation is eternal vigilance. We need to be sure that we learn what is happening to the buildings which give Nottinghamshire towns and villages their distinctive character. We now have, in the 'green backs' (the pamphlets containing the details and descriptions of listed buildings now protected by planning laws), up-to-date information about all the buildings thought worth protecting That is the point at which we must begin to be vigilant We must make sure that we notice when they change hands; when they show signs of lack of maintenance; what changes are given planning approval. To show the variety of problems which arise, I want to refer to a few buildings which have given us cause for concern. First of all, we want to make sure that the historical and environmental character of a building has been accurately assessed, so that the impact of change can be properly gauged In the case of the Flying Horse, in The Poultry, Nottingham, which has exchanged hands and is being redeveloped, everyone knows that the frontage, with its gables and plaster decorations, is strictly a fake of 1936. Fortunately, the City Planning Department is alive to its responsibility and has commissioned a proper survey, so that we know how much of the timber framing is genuine The front range has been much altered at various times, but the range on Peck Lane consists of two properties, with brick walling and original ceiling beams and roofs of the 17th century The original elements in this complex will be retained in the redevelopment 11l ~{L'<:!;hffil y.

Following a public enquiry in 2004, the Secretary of State confirmed the Compulsory Purchase Order. English Heritage took possession of the site in September, and urgent works and holding repairs were completed in October 2004. The first phase of repairs is complete and Apethorpe Hall is now for sale. 16 HERITAGE AT RISK EAST MIDLANDS EM 17 HERITAGE AT RISK 2008 Since the 1999 baseline register, the total number of Grade I and II* buildings and structural monuments at risk on the East Midlands register has fallen from 161 to 147. In the past year, however, there has been a significant net increase in the number of entries on the regional register. Ten buildings at risk have been added, three of which are in the highest priority category for action; at immediate risk of loss and have no solution agreed.With two exceptions, no solution is yet in place for any of the new entries. Five buildings on last year’s regional register have also been upgraded in their level of risk.This year, for the first time, the East Midlands register includes one registered battlefield at risk. Only three buildings at risk have been removed from the register, although ten have seen an improvement in condition.The first phase of repairs to the Grade I listed Apethorpe Hall, Northamptonshire is now complete and the estate has been offered for sale.

Introduction 1.01 The district of Bassetlaw benefits from an extensive open space network; 488.41 ha covers a series of multi functional spaces including parks and gardens, amenity green spaces, children’s play areas, semi/natural green spaces, civic spaces, churchyards and allotments of differing sizes within or on the edge of the main towns of Worksop, Retford and Harworth & Bircotes alongside the 5 Large Rural Settlements of Blyth, Carlton in Lindrick, Langold/Hodsock, Misterton and Tuxford. 1.02 High quality open spaces bring many benefits for the community; they provide better opportunities for informal sport, play and recreation while the tranquillity and absence of noise and pollution found in many spaces enhances well being. Many provide safe and sustainable transport routes for people to move around the District on foot or by bike while others provide opportunities to grow local food. Several spaces provide access to heritage and biodiversity assets as well as providing valuable habitats for wildlife. 1.03 The Council’s Open Space Study report was last published in 2012 (OSS2012). Since then the Council and our partners has continued to promote the many benefits of open space across the District.

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.
