Vax-the-Nation Weekend

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE’S BIG WEEKEND  

Walk-in Covid-19 jabs for all adults will be available from Friday 25 – Monday 28 June in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire as part of Nottinghamshire’s Big Weekend for vaccinations, where all eligible adults can come and grab a first or second jab from 8am-8pm.

All those eligible for their Covid-19 vaccine will be able to receive a vaccine at nine sites across the county including Gamston Community Hall, Forest Recreation Ground, King’s Meadow Campus, Richard Herrod Centre, Newark Showground, Ashfield Health Village, Mansfield Wickes site, King’s Mill Hospital Vaccination Hub and Queen’s Medical Centre.

Those currently eligible include any adult member of the public as well as those who are clinically vulnerable, clinically extremely vulnerable and carers.

All sites will be offering both Pfizer and AstraZeneca vaccines to the public. If you are unsure or have any concerns, trained staff will be available at the vaccination sites to help put you at ease and answer your questions.

All sites will be open from 8am to 8pm from Friday to Monday offering walk-in appointments to anyone eligible for their first or second dose. Second doses will be available for anybody who had their first dose on or before 30 April.

Amanda Sullivan, Accountable Officer for NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire CCG, said: “Our Grab a Jab weekend was really successful and saw many people coming forward to get their vaccine, so we are taking part in the national Big Weekend which starts on Friday to encourage even more people to get their jab.

“We are encouraging anyone who has not yet had their first dose or those who had their second dose on or before 30 April to come and have their vaccine. The process will be really quick and easy and there will be no need to book an appointment at any of the nine sites that are open over the Big Weekend. I would urge the public to visit the sites early to receive a vaccine to help protect themselves, their families and their loved ones.

“We know the rate of infection is increasing nationally and we are seeing increases in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. We have seen in the past that a few cases can very quickly lead to a big increase in community transmission. That is why it is important that we all get our vaccine and protect ourselves as soon as possible.”

Electoral Review of Rushcliffe Borough

May 17th, 2021

Good morning,

As you may have seen in the local media, The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has launched a public consultation inviting proposals to maintain the current pattern of electoral wards for Rushcliffe Borough Council.

This includes their recommendation that 44 councillors should continue to be elected to the Council in future instead of a previous proposal to the authority it could increase to 46 in line with the Borough’s increasing populations.

They are now inviting proposals from local councils, interested parties and members of the public until July 19, 2021 and you can have your say at https://consultation.lgbce.org.uk/have-your-say/27236 which contains links to guidance and maps of the current wards.

The Commission are also giving more information about the review and answering questions at a community online briefing on Monday May 24 at 6pm designed to inform a wider group of stakeholders about the current position and gain a better understanding of our communities’ make-up.

You can watch the live briefing and ask questions and the video will be available after the meeting.

The authority have highlighted in drawing up a pattern of electoral wards, they must balance the three statutory criteria they are required to follow:

  • Make sure that, within an authority, each councillor represents a similar number of electors
  • Create boundaries that are appropriate, and reflect community ties and identities
  • Deliver reviews informed by local needs, views and circumstances

 

Views can also be submitted by email to reviews@lgbce.org.uk or by post to:

Review Officer (Rushcliffe)

LGBCE

PO Box 133

Blyth

NE24 9FE

They plan to publish proposals for new electoral arrangements in October with further consultation planned between then and December and intend to publish final recommendations in March 2022.

WPD will be making essential repairs to the HV cables feeding the HV Pole Transformer opposite the car park gate due to a fault on the system.

Tarmac have spoken to WPD with regards to keeping the flow of traffic maintained.

All works will be done at the field end. All access will be maintained at the field end including the parking of stationary WPD vehicles.

All excavation plant will be kept on the field side. All spoils removed will also be kept on the field side.

With the above actions followed the flow of traffic will be maintained with very little or no disruptions.

Due to the location and the Transformer belonging to WPD and having no impact on the HV feed to our site this work is completely under the control of WPD.  Therefore, if you see anything or anybody acting in an unsafe manner you must speak with WPD directly.

This work will take place near the Skate Park, so please use with caution.
