Edited, Produced and Distributed by MARATHON MEDIA 3 Sherwood News and Information Mark Spencer MP Update Happy New Year! New Year is always a time for reflection and resolution and I wanted to use this column to look at the progress that’s been made on the biggest three issues you’ve contacted me about over the last year; the cost of living, helping local businesses and standing up to Europe. Your Local Friendly, Reliable There isn’t a family in Sherwood who hasn’t felt the cost of everyday living Private Hire Company creeping up: food is expensive (anyone else with hungry teenagers in the house will relate!) and we all felt the hit of Labour’s fuel duty escalator on our daily For 1-8 Passengers commutes. While the global economic horizon still looks troubled, there was Airport & Coastal Runs some good news here in the UK. Wedding Venues For many of us, especially anyone outside the City, driving is a necessity not a luxury, and the Any Occasion Catered for Chancellor has announced that he will be cutting fuel duty by cancelling the 3p duty increase Labour planned for this month and ensuring fuel duty from August 2012 will only be 3p higher than it is now. For Further Information please Contact When you take this with the cut in fuel duty at the last Budget, this means that from April this year, Tel: 01623 798330 fuel duty will be 10p lower than it would have been under Labour. That wasn’t the only household bill the Government looked and though and following the council tax Mob: 07815118705 freeze in 2011, we have giving one-off funding to local authorities to help them freeze council tax again for 2012-2013. Mark Truman It was also high time we looked at the tax low and middle earners pay and I am delighted we have cut Email: [email protected] income tax for 25 million people with a rise in personal allowance in April which will pull 1.1 million workers out of income tax altogether. We have also given the biggest increase in the State Pension since 1948 and introduced the triple lock which means that State Pensions will be uprated by earnings, prices or 2.5% - whichever is highest. I’ll be honest: none of these changes are magic bullets, but each one is a way to put a bit more money back into the pockets of Sherwood residents. We all know how difficult times are and that only grown up decisions and responsible spending can turn the situation around. Many of you who run or work for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have written to tell me about the difficulties you have faced getting credit from your bank and as a local business owner myself I sympathise entirely. When running an SME, there is little more frustrating than either being denied credit or being granted a loan only to find your overdraft ‘trimmed’ with the other hand. This is a problem I have taken up personally with the Chancellor both in and out of the Chamber and will continue to do so. There is hope however as small businesses will benefit from £20 billion of cheaper funding and, under project Merlin, a 15% increase in bank lending. Finally and to the most incendiary issue of the year: Europe. I was immensely proud of David Cameron when he stood up to the EU last month by refusing to sign an EU treaty which was simply not good enough for Britain and would have seen us tied into terms which were unacceptable. Economically we all have an interest in a healthy Eurozone but that does not mean selling ourselves down the river and it certainly will never mean joining the Euro. Needless to say, I have only scraped the surface of last year’s correspondence (I have worked with almost 5000 of you!) but I hope that I’ve shown you, whatever your political persuasion, that despite the gloom of last year, there is some good news. I want to end by drawing your attention to one final change that came about last year which is the introduction of the new 101 Police number: the number to call when you want to contact your local police - when it's less urgent than 999. It is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

    The Joseph Whitaker School An Academy specialising in Sport and Performing Arts February 2018 Dear Parent / Carer I hope you enjoy reading the first newsletter of 2018. A reminder that we are regularly posting news on twitter and facebook. Additionally, a new and improved website will be launched before Easter. Hear It Stop It (#nobystanders) At the start of next half-term the school community will be further strengthening our approach to respect and tolerance. This will be delivered via the Stonewall Champion School framework which aims to: tackle homophobic, biphobic and transphobic bullying. make school a place where all pupils and staff are accepted without exception. champions diversity and celebrates difference A series of assemblies, posters in classrooms and tutor discussions will reinforce tolerance and respect in terms of gender, racism and homophobia. All staff and students will be asked not to ignore any use of inappropriate language and I would ask if parents can continue to support this at home. We want to encourage a culture in which it is the norm to want to succeed and to be the best you can be; not be worried about peer group pressure resisting these ideals. I would stress that as a Good school we want to become Outstanding and this is a key part of that journey. Staffing update At the end of this half-term we say goodbye to Miss Gardiner, mathematics teacher, who is leaving to start a new job at Nottingham Trent University. We wish her the very best of luck in her new position. Reminders Please could parents continue to use the school bus park in the morning to drop students off and not the sports hall car park.
