Have Your Say

Roadworks Bulletin

This bus summary has been put together by John Greenwood on behalf of our residents.

“Thanks to the Parish Council and Tony Jarrow for bringing our attention to the changes to our evening bus service. The 92 service operated by Vectar/Central Connect was revised on 28th July 2024 to be incorporated (as a 90A service) within the ‘90’ Nottingham to Newark services via Bingham

Whilst we have slightly fewer evening services, we do now have a Sunday service for the first time in many years!

In general, Cropwell Bishop now has a reasonable bus service and the attached Summary may help residents appreciate the options we have available.

I understand that fares are held at a maximum of £2 for a single adult journey until the end of October when they will increase to £2.50. Reliability seems pretty good at present and you can check the location of your expected 833 or 90A bus on the map within the ‘bustimes.org’ app. There are many interesting places to visit.

Please do try and use our buses where you can, to help preserve the services for the future.

Statement of Persons Nominated Notice of Poll and Situation of Polling Stations

The Mayor of the East Midlands will open the door to investment in transport, skills, housing and the environment after securing a deal for a new combined authority – the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA).

EMCCA has been formed by Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council and Nottingham City Council, and will be led by a mayor, similar to areas like the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire.

The mayor will have new powers and resources to begin a long-term process of growing the region’s economy by investing in skills that lead to better jobs, transport that works better across the region, housing where it’s needed, and an economy equipped to deal with net zero.

Its small team will have specific responsibilities – housing, skills, transport and the environment – and the transfer of powers means it will be doing work previously carried out by government.

It will collaborate with councils and will not duplicate what they do or provide services that are best delivered locally.

Please be aware of changes to postal votes

In line with electoral laws changing to further prevent electoral fraud, new rules have been introduced for the handing in of postal votes.
They can be returned as normal using a Royal Mail post box and this remains unchanged.

However, when postal votes are handed in person, they now must be at a polling station on Thursday May 2 or at our Rushcliffe Arena base and a short form completed, otherwise the votes cannot be accepted.

A person can only hand in their own postal vote, plus a maximum of five additional postal votes for other electors.

If someone is a political campaigner, the same limits apply except the postal votes can only be their own or those of a close relative, or someone they, or the organisation which employs or engages them, provides regular care for – the definition of a political campaigner is outlined on the back of the postal vote return form.

Postal votes can be handed in at Rushcliffe Arena from today (April 19) between 9am and 5pm and Mondays to Fridays until polling day (May 2) on which the desk is open from 9am to 10pm.
There will be a dedicated member of staff on reception during these times to assist with the completion of the postal vote return form. Please note, postal votes cannot be handed in at Rushcliffe Arena outside of these hours.

To avoid filling out a form, the advice is to ask electors to put them in the post and in time for them to reach us by polling day on Thursday May 2, the day the Borough’s residents vote in the Police and Crime Commissioner and the Mayoral East Midlands Combined County Authority elections.

27th June 2024, Cotgrave Welfare Club Entertainment Centre, 2-6pm

Aim

Hold an event for up to 100 people registered with Rushcliffe GP practices to engage in improving
their health & wellbeing, to help build resilience to local services, help vulnerable individuals, and
encourage greater involvement in the future of health in Rushcliffe including through joining Patient
Participation Groups.

Why?
We have an urgent challenge as a Rushcliffe community to reverse the damage that COVID has caused
to some of our most vulnerable residents, and our local services. We know that we can achieve great
things together if we take action, as there are many local examples of where local action has transformed the lives of vulnerable individuals living in Rushcliffe.
Our plan for achieving better outcomes and services for the most vulnerable involves the whole community, drawing on the knowhow and strengths of everyone who can make a difference, no matter
what their role or background. It’s not about relying on the NHS or the council to do it for us but doing it with us.

Those of us that can need to make a choice to get involved in wider community activities for the sake
of the Future of Health in Rushcliffe e.g. by volunteering with a local group. By getting involved, you
can help ensure that Rushcliffe remains a great place to live and thrive for everyone locally.

How?
A blend of talks, stalls, discussions and Q&A. Event will be recorded for on-demand access post event.
