Dear I am writing to you in reply to your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to Nottinghamshire County Council. Please can you supply me with details of the site decontamination work carried out at the former Ordnance Depot site at Ruddington, now known as Rushcliffe Country Park? Following a detailed search of our records I have the following information. Nottinghamshire County Council retains the freehold for the site, which was acquired from the Ministry of Defence in 1991. The site, now known as Rushcliffe Country Park, was leased to Rushcliffe Borough Council in 1993 for a period of 99 years. The conveyance document refers to NCC having to demolish all buildings etc., and remove them from site, leaving it in a “neat and tidy condition”. There is no reference to decontamination in any of the conveyance/lease documents or on our property database. A search was made of material held in archive. The search identified that NCC does not have any plans showing where excavation of “unsuitable materials” was undertaken or records of where any such materials were disposed of. It is possible that there may be records at the Environment Agency, so it may be worth submitting a request to them at: [email protected] If you have any queries or concerns then please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications. If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to the Team Manager, Complaints and Information Team, County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7QP or e-mail [email protected]. Yours sincerely John Allison Information Officer Chief Executive’s Department Nottinghamshire County Council County Hall, West Bridgford, Nottingham NG2 7QP Telephone: 0115 977 2788 .

Volume 4: Spring Walks
1 Introduction Welcome to our fourth volume of ‘100 Walks from the Poppy and Pint’. This volume contains Spring Walks for you to enjoy now that the lockdown has eased. I hope that you find it useful. You will find 49 walks in this volume bringing the total number of walks in the series to 150! This volume is quite different to the other volumes. These walks have been specially selected from a wider radius of Lady Bay. This gives us more choice, more variety, and the chance to showcase different areas. Most of the walks start within 30 minutes’ drive from the Poppy and Pint and most are relatively short walks of around two to three hours. All have been chosen because they hold one or more points of interest. Moreover, the paths are quiet, they are varied, and all are on good, waymarked paths. This makes them ideal spring walks just after the lockdown. Being out on the trail in the open air anywhere lifts the spirits, is good for the soul, and gives our lives a different perspective. I think we always feel better when we come back from a walk! Do try it and see! This is the fourth volume of walks to complement Volumes One, Two and Three. Unfortunately, it is not possible to put these four volumes into one tome as the subsequent size of the file would be too big to e mail! When I set myself the challenge of researching and creating 100 local walks, I never actually thought it was possible.

Nature in Rushcliffe Your Journey Starts Here
Nature in Rushcliffe Your journey starts here... Nature in Rushcliffe Rushcliffe is largely rural with farmland, woodland, wetland and urban open spaces. Rushcliffe is home to a wide range of plants and wild animals. Many species are in decline as a result of modern lifestyles, but there are notable successes in Rushcliffe including the Rushcliffe Barn Owl Project. Urban areas such as gardens and parks and disused industrial sites and railways are also vital to ensure biodiversity. 2 | Nature in Rushcliffe Biodiversity Biodiversity is important to maintain a stable natural environment. The Nottinghamshire Biodiversity Action Plan (NBAP) guides how organisations in Nottinghamshire will try to protect and improve biodiversity. The plan identifies the species and habitats that are important. Main habitats in Rushcliffe Wetlands Native woodlands Species rich grassland Rivers and streams Standing waters Urban and post-industrial habitats Farmland Canals Main species in Rushcliffe Bats Water voles Special Sites Harvest mice Otters Rushcliffe is home to eight nationally important Sites of Special Scientific Barn owls Interest (SSSIs). There are around 200 Lapwings Local Wildlife Sites (LWS), which are Grass snakes of countywide importance. Slow worms The main sites with public access are Great crested newts shown on the map overleaf.

BUNNY BULLETIN April 2019 WHAT’S GOING ON WITH THIS LAND? Delivered free to every household in Bunny 2 3 4 5 6 7 HOME BOARDING FOR DOGS I have been boarding dogs in my home for 12 years now. I recently moved to Bunny Hill Top and have a very secure big garden. I only take one dog at a time so it is very much a one-to-one. I have always had a regular little group of dogs, but sadly some of the ones who have been with me since the start are now passing over Rainbow Bridge. My present longest boarder is a black Lab who belongs to a local vet. She comes in many times in the year. I love walking but like to take the dog and not be taken by the dog, so dogs must walk calmly on the lead. The dogs are never let off the lead when off my property but have free access to the garden. For further information and prices I can be contacted by email [email protected] or phone 01509 856493. Val. 8 9 EDITORIAL ‘April is the cruellest month’, wrote TS Eliot, but what did he know? He probably never took a walk on a lovely mid-April morning through the fields to Ruddington Country Park .* Yes, spring is well and truly here, and if you’re thinking of heading out for a weekend walk followed by a cheeky drink, then check out our pub reviewer’s visit to the Three Crowns in Wymeswold. Elsewhere in this edition, Graham Norbury explains why he’s stepping down from the Parish Council after 18 years (p27), and there are details on how to take part in this year’s litter pick (p42).
