Local Government Boundary Commission update:
March 1st, 2022
Some positive news from the Local Government Boundary Commission: having considered the points raised by Langar cum Barnstone Parish Council – among others – the Commission is proposing that Langar and Barnstone should now both fall within the single Rushcliffe Borough Council ward of Neville & Langar rather than the two villages being in separate wards. Good news for the Parish Council and for both of our villages.
The detailed proposals can be studied at https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/node/27236, along with an opportunity to express your opinion. The Parish Council will discuss the issue at its next meeting.
These proposed boundary changes are distinct from the parliamentary constituency boundary changes which are also currently under consideration.
Questionnaire regarding crossroads between Barnstone & Langar
February 9th, 2022
Dear Langar and Barnstone Community Member,
Langar School Council, in co-operation with Lucy Paine and James Barlow, have been looking into the road safety issues that we have in the villages.
You may have passed us many of us in the morning as we walk or cycle to school. Lots of us want to travel to school like this as it is good for our health and the environment. It is also good for us to start to do this independently as we get older and prepare for secondary school.
However, lots of us worry about getting across Musters Road; the crossroads between Barnstone and Langar. We know that lots of residents and parents worry about this crossing too.
The local councillors, Neil Clarke and Tina Combellack, share our concerns about the junction and they are really keen to support finding a way to make the crossing and getting to school safer. However, to make things happen we need to collect some information, in part so that whatever might be put in place meets the needs of us all.
So, whether or not you have a school age child, we would really value your answers to a few short questions. Please either reply by e-mail (lucypaine@gmail.com) or by dropping your completed questionnaire off at Langar School where there will be a box for them.

Signpost
February 2nd, 2022
As many of you will know, Heather Whitaker has decided to retire as Editor of Signpost after 10 years and 40 issues. The Parish Council wish to thank Heather for all the work she has put in to make the magazine the success it is today, informing and entertaining residents of happenings near and far.
The presses are waiting for the next issue and so the Parish Council is seeking a volunteer to pull future issues into shape. Although the title is that of ‘Editor’, Heather feels that ‘Formatter’ is a better description of the work involved in entering the articles and adverts into a desktop publishing program, as the sourcing of articles and advertisements, the proof-reading, and getting the final proof to the printers is handled by others.
If you feel you have experience or confidence in using a DTP program and can offer some of your time to help us, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Sharon Ellis, Parish Clerk, in the first instance
(T: 07984075016; E: langarbarnstoneclerk@gmail.com). As a special introductory offer, Heather has offered to assist the new Editor with getting to grips with the work involved.

Vulnerable Rushcliffe Residents
December 22nd, 2021
As we look forward to the festive season there are growing concerns for our most vulnerable Rushcliffe residents if a home care provider should fail or if it could not continue to provide care due to staff absence in light of the current COVID-19 situation.
At any one time social care providers support approximately 9,000 people across Notts and sadly the rapid spread of the Omicron variant in the community and in care providers staff make this prospect ever more likely.
The County Council has developed plans to redeploy its own staff internally to deal with such an eventuality but clearly we are again in uncertain times and need to explore wider support networks.
Therefore as part of the Nottinghamshire Local Resilience Forum, each borough or district council is seeking those in councils and communities to offer support if the need arose. The sort of tasks include the following:
- Safe and wellbeing checks – physical knock on the door
- Safe and wellbeing check – phone call
- Other types of lower level support through the County Council’s Community Support Hub, namely:
o Access to food delivery
o Access to food supply
o Accessing medicine
o Dog walking
o Befriending/social wellbeing
Should you or any residents in your towns or parishes wish to offer support please respond to Media@rushcliffe.gov.uk or call either of the numbers below. After 5pm each day please call 07815 706045.
Many thanks for your time in considering this request particularly at a time where again we wish to stay safe but still help others.
Season’s Greetings to you all and thank you for your support throughout 2021.
Regards,
The Media Team
Rushcliffe Borough Council

The Carol service at St. Andrew’s, Sunday 19th December 4pm will now be OUTSIDE
December 16th, 2021
The Carol Service will be in the churchyard for everyone’s safety, not inside the church and will take about 30 minutes.
We will stand near the porch on the path and among the gravestones, but we can provide a few seats. The ground is uneven with a few low level stones, so be careful and warn others. Please maintain distance from others.
The service leaders, readers and music accompaniment will be in the porch. The outside lights on the church will give limited lighting.
You will each need a torch – sunset is at 3:48pm. If anyone can bring a lantern for outside use, that would help.
Face coverings are recommended on arrival and departure, but are not essential during the service.
The toilet will be available inside the church, but otherwise do not enter the building.
Having a recent negative lateral flow test is desirable. Please do not come if you had a positive result or you have any Covid-19 symptoms
The Order of Service, including words for the carols, will be available as a pdf file which you might like to download to your mobile phone or tablet to use at the service. We will email this to those who have booked and try to have it on the Wiverton in the Vale Parish web site (www.wivertoninthevale.co.uk), as well as a QR code on the noticeboard. A paper version (without the carols) and a carol sheet will also be available.
Booking is no longer essential but preferred.
Parking on the green at the church is slightly restricted.
So keep warm and we’ll make some joy in spite of the restrictions.
If you have any questions, please contact:
Trevor Simpson (trevor.simpson@wivertoninthevale.co.uk – 01949 860273)
Carol Services are also planned at churches in Tythby, Granby and Elton that day (check on www.wivertoninthevale.co.uk ).
