G-lenda Steady Hand!
Ay-up neighbours! đź‘‹ Massive thanks to Ennerdale Road resident Glenda Templeton for taking matters into her own hands and giving the Ennerdale Road sign a much-needed fresh lick of black paint.

An Update on the Mansfield Road Junction
Ay-up neighbours! đź‘‹ Following a number of reports of accidents and near-misses at the junction between Ribblesdale Road and Mansfield Road, we wrote to Nottinghamshire County Council, the body responsible for the junction, to raise our concerns. We have received a response from them, which is included below. As you’ll see, they have said that other areas with higher accident statistics are their priority, and that they have no plans to make alterations to Ribblesdale Road/Mansfield Road junction. We feel that this response isn’t satisfactory. We are concerned that it may only be a matter of time before there are…

Update on the Rain Gardens
Ay-up neighbours! After what feels like months of plugging away, we’re now seeing some progress with the council when it comes to the rain gardens. They’re looking to work with us as a community to improve them and have made a bid for an internal grant to cover replanting, which we hope will be successful. Whatever the outcome, the gardens need clearing in readiness for the next steps. Judith Penney has kindly offered to lead the charge on getting them cleared out, but she needs your help. As this will be our first community-led gardening initiative, we’d like to arrange…

Summary of the First Members’ Meeting
Ay-up neighbours! Thank you to everyone who attended our first Sherwood Dales Neighbourhood Watch and Community members’ meeting on Thursday 27th November.

We were pleased to welcome some new faces, hear new perspectives, and have Councillor Nayab Patel join us to speak and answer your questions. Below you’ll find the slides we presented on the night. One of the key messages we want to emphasise is that we aim to act in line with the majority view. We want our actions to reflect what…

Summary of the First Volunteers’ Meeting
Ay-up neighbours! We wanted to give you all a quick update following our volunteers’ meeting at the end of July. Thanks once again to all who attended. Overall, the meeting was very positive. We identified a small number of priorities which we can start working on immediately, and generated lots of ideas we can explore as our group develops. In the short term the group will be focusing on the issue of weeds, speeding vehicles and better engagement with the council and police, led by our volunteers. If you would like anything else to be considered, please use our Request…
