Christmas Jumpers

November 24th, 2025

Did you know in the UK each year we buy over 12 million Christmas jumpers?

To reduce clothing waste this Christmas, Veolia and Nottinghamshire County Council have partnered up with Inspire to organise a Nottinghamshire Christmas Jumper Swap campaign across some of the county’s libraries.

Nottinghamshire residents can donate their pre-loved Christmas jumpers at one of four drop off points at any of the venues below, up to and including 26th November:

  • Worksop Library
  • Beeston Library
  • Retford Library
  • Kimberley Library

All jumpers donated must be of good quality, wearable and clean.

Residents wishing to swap their pre-loved Christmas jumper for another can come along to either:

  • Worksop Library Christmas Market on 29 November between 9:30am – 2pm
  • Kimberley Library Christmas Market on 6 December between 10am – 1pm

We will have all of the jumpers we collected on clothes rails for people to choose from for free!

Any jumpers left over after the two events will be donated to local shelters, organisations and charities.

However, it’s not only Christmas when clothing is thrown away. In Nottinghamshire, over 70 tonnes of reusable clothes are thrown away each week. To see how else you can reduce textile waste visit the textile waste reduction webpage.

 

Thanks,

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.

Lucy

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
