“Volunteers required – we are planning a couple of sessions to undertake some work on the wildlife area (former pond) in Langar …
The aim would be get a good sized group together on 31st October to cut back hedgerows to a manageable height and width again, remove unwanted weeds and plants and generally cut everything back to level across the site as a whole – then, once all of the cut materials have had time to dry out in situ, return on 7th November and gather everything up and potentially have a small bonfire again.. leaving the site tidy for winter and ready to spring into life again in 2022..
If we say 9:30am on each day to assemble and get started, bringing with you any suitable tools and clothing required please …
For those who prefer to help in a less physical way, all offerings of tea and cake are very welcome!!
Hope to see you there!
Adrian”

Weather alert – please prepare your communities for potential flooding from Tuesday
As you may have seen from this week’s weather forecasts, heavy rain is expected from Tuesday to Thursday that could impact with localised flooding in our communities.
Wednesday is the day we could receive the most significant rainfall with a yellow warning for rain, building on the higher volumes we have received in the last 10 days.
In conjunction with the Local Resilience Forum and Nottinghamshire County Council, we are now preparing for flooding incidents.
Please encourage local residents to deploy any local property resilience measures such as flood gates, air brick covers or check sandbag provisions to help reduce the possible impact. Please also check any local water course infrastructure that you may have responsibility for, to ensure it is free flowing.
As ever here at the Borough Council we will be ready to respond with support. We are available on 0115 981 9911 or on our out of hours number 0115 981 1143.
Our partners Streetwise will have teams on standby and will distribute sandbags with priority to households at imminent risk of internal flooding where requested but we ask for patience, as depending on the volume of rainfall, demand may be significant across the Borough.

If you are a carer looking for some support, our PPG are hosting another carer’s event for – 23rd Jan 10am-12pm at Cropwell Bishop Surgery.
It’s open to all carers, regardless of which surgery you are registered at. Our Carer’s Champion and support workers from the Carer’s Hub and Dove Cottage will be on hand to signpost you to support and offer advice.
There will also be tea and biscuits!
Not sure if you are a carer? A carer is anyone, including children and adults who looks after a family member, partner or friend who needs help because of their illness, frailty, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction and cannot cope without their support. The care they give is unpaid and invaluable.
