Ambitious £25m plans have been tabled to build nearly 200 homes on land next to Bramcote Crematorium. Plans to construct the first phase of homes west of Coventry Lane have been submitted to Broxtowe Borough Council. A map shows that part of the estate is earmarked for land next to the crematorium and the site extends to border Hulks Farm. A range of two, three, four and five-bed homes are in the pipeline – and the development is aimed at families and young professionals. Simon Gardiner, managing director of Peter James Homes, said: “We are so excited to submit our planning application on this excellent site. “For some eight years we have worked hard to promote this land, working through the consultation process, attending workshops and submitting various reports to conclude in the award of a residential allocation for some 250 houses. “Phase one of our application will see the construction of 190 houses. This beautiful location will play a key role in the delivery of new homes to Bramcote and support Broxtowe Borough Council in meeting their housing target set within the strategic and local development plan. “The development provides a strong mix of houses and acknowledges the green corridor and linkages to the countryside beyond.” Plans for outline permission have been submitted to the council, meaning the development can be built in principle if given the go-ahead, subject to more detailed proposals being submitted. Subject to planning permission, work could start at the earliest in June of next year – and residents could move in from the following December. Up to 30 percent of the properties are expected to be affordable – and at least two car parking spaces will be allocated to each home. Planning documents read: “The existing access to the site from Sidings Lane via Coventry Lane is to be improved to make it suitable and capable to serve the proposed development, plus any future development on the Hulks Farm site adjacent. “In addition, a number of design features are proposed to change the character of Coventry Lane to ultimately slow the speed of traffic.

Such features can only be facilitated by the proposed development.” A spokeswoman for the council explained the application was due to be determined by September 10. She added: “The site is land adjacent and north-west of Bramcote Crematorium and is allocated in the Part 2 Local Plan for 240 homes. “This outline application proposes up to 190 dwellings as the application site is smaller than the allocated site.” from https://taxi.nearme.host/25m-plan-for-housing-estate-next-to-bramcote-crematorium-nottinghamshire-live/

Elderly Nottingham man left frightened to leave house after unprovoked attack | West Bridgford Wire6/23/2020 An elderly man was punched and kicked in the head in an unprovoked attack that left him needing hospital treatment. Seventy-five-year-old Derek Brailsford said he now felt “frightened of walking alone” after being punched, knocked to the floor and kicked in the head five times by a young man on an electric scooter. Officers are now appealing for witnesses and information following the incident along the River Leen towpath in Bulwell, between Deptford Road Bridge and Charles Close, at around 11.50am on Saturday. Mr Brailsford said: “I wish this wouldn’t have happened. I realise that this could have been worse, but I am very upset with the violent nature of this unprovoked attack. “My life has been completely affected by this attack. I am usually very active and independent, however I am frightened of walking alone on a pathway now as I feel that this could happen to me again. “I feel that I may be unable to return fully to my running which I loved prior to hurting my back and this attack. I am scared that this person may find me and hurt me again. I have young grandchildren who I cannot go and see right now, as I believe that the way my face looks would scare them. This causes me to feel very isolated. “Hopefully we can find the person responsible. I would also like to thank the kind people who stopped and helped me.” Police Constable Adam Scotney is leading the investigation. He said: “Mr Brailsford was approached by a man and told to move. When he challenged the person, he was punched and knocked to the floor. He was then kicked a further five times to the head causing serious injuries. “The victim is now in quite a bit of pain and is struggling to see out of one of his eyes. This is a completely unprovoked attack with an unknown offender. “The scooter has been described as like a child’s toy but faster. “This was a horrible incident in broad daylight and we hope to track down the offender by releasing these details. “The description given to us is a black or mixed race man, believed to be in his late teens early 20s, with a gold tooth and star tattoo down the side of his neck. “At the time, he was wearing a black cap, black jacket and black trousers and was riding a black electric scooter. He was followed by a small brown dog. “Officers continue to investigate local CCTV, but are asking anyone who may have seen anything suspicious at that time in the area to please call 101, quoting incident number 284 of 13 June 2020.” from https://taxi.nearme.host/elderly-nottingham-man-left-frightened-to-leave-house-after-unprovoked-attack-west-bridgford-wire/

Caravan owners have been left feeling hard done by after a row erupted over site fees at a popular park on near to Skegness. Van owners at Happy Days Holiday Homes were told by bosses they would not be offered a partial refund after coronavirus left them unable to access their vans. The site bosses argue that they have been providing the services they are contracted to offer – even if people haven’t been able to use their caravans at the Chapel St Leonards park. One caravan owner told Lincolnshire Live there are more than 200 vans on the site and they say people aren’t happy. “People had already paid out for their site in October, with the average price at around £2,700 – depending on the size of the caravan,” the person, who wished to remain anonymous, said. “No one is expecting to get all of their money back, but a percentage would be fair given that people have been unable to access their caravans for months. “A lot of people aren’t happy and say they might not be able to afford their caravan next year if they don’t get some money back because of their financial situation.” News of the decision has been criticised by people online who say it is only fair that people should get some of their site fee back. But site bosses, who sent out a letter confirming their plan of action on Tuesday, June 16, have said the majority of caravan owners on the site have been ‘understanding’. They added that while they are not offering a partial refund, they are exploring other ways to help caravan owners once the park is reopen. A spokesperson for Happy Days Holiday Homes said: “The letter to our valued caravan owners states that although we will not be offering a partial refund, we will consider what options are available to us once we reopen and we will inform them ASAP. “This includes the possibility of extending our season for two years at no extra charge. “The vast majority of our caravan owners have offered tremendous understanding and support throughout this situation. “Our position is the same as most other caravan parks in our area and follows the British Holiday & Home Parks Association (BH&HPA) and The National Caravan Council (NCC) guidance.

Among these are big names including Parkdean, Haven and Golden Sands. “We have seen evidence of sites that are taking the advice to work with owners to offer partial refunds or credit notes for use towards future fees,” explains the Money Saving Expert (MSE) website. from https://taxi.nearme.host/anger-as-caravan-owners-near-skegness-not-offered-partial-refund-from-coronavirus-lockdown-nottinghamshire-live/ Popular pub closes after financial struggle during coronavirus lockdown Nottinghamshire Live6/19/2020

Rent payments coupled with a lack of income during the coronavirus pandemic resulted in a pub in Ilkeston having to close. Staff at The Needlemakers Arms announced the closure on its Facebook page and a spokeswoman for Star Pubs & Bars, part of Heineken, confirmed the licensees had handed in their notice. The statement on the pub’s Facebook read: “It is with a very heavy heart that I have to let you all know that I’ve handed the keys back to the pub today. “Unfortunately I’m no longer able to afford to pay rent on a pub with no income. “Devastated doesn’t even come close to how I’m feeling. Thank you all for your support and (I) hope to see you around Ilkeston at some point.” A spokeswoman from Star Pubs & Bars said: “The former licensees of The Needlemakers Arms gave notice which they’re entitled to do. “We are looking to recruit new licensee to take on this popular local pub. In the meantime the pub will remain closed. “We are, and will, continue to do as much as we can to help our pubs. “In addition to the Government’s waivers and grants to help cover rent, salaries and other fixed costs, Star Pubs & Bars is offering additional support on an individual basis, including cancelling 50 percent to 90 percent of rent for many pubs and suspending the collection of any rent until at least the end of August. “Once the restrictions are lifted, we want to see all of our pubs open, trading and operating as viable businesses as soon as possible.” The pub, in Kensington Street, had reopened back in 2018 after a £10,000 revamp. Councillor Jane Wilson, who represents the Cotmanhay ward for Labour on Erewash Borough Council, said it was a shame the pub had closed and explained it had been popular with locals.

I know that because my daughter plays darts.” Explaining it was a “shame when any business falls through no fault of their own”, she added: “A lot of people were locals to it; local to that pub. “I think older people who can’t get anywhere else. I think it will be missed by the people who have always used it, obviously. “But the thing is pubs come and go, don’t they, I am afraid.” from https://taxi.nearme.host/popular-pub-closes-after-financial-struggle-during-coronavirus-lockdown-nottinghamshire-live/ Intu Victoria Centre has released more information on the safety measures in place at the centre ahead of the Government’s deadline for the reopening of non-essential retail on 15 June. A task force of experts from across intu has created detailed and adaptable plans for each of its 14 shopping destinations, with common principles guiding every plan and full risk assessments aligned to every centre to make them Covid-secure locations. intu Victoria Centre has adapted its existing footfall-monitoring technology so that its frontline teams can accurately monitor and manage the number of people in the centre at any time. It will manage queues outside the centre when capacity is reached and there will be a raft of other measures including one-way systems, floor stickers and queues outside stores to ensure visitors stay socially distanced once inside. Enhanced hygiene regimes that were introduced at the start of the outbreak will continue, with more deep cleaning of key areas and touchpoints like escalators, toilets and keypads. These measures have remained in place as centres provide vital access to essential services like pharmacies, supermarkets and banks during the lockdown period. Hand sanitation stands will also remain at entrances and other locations throughout each centre for visitors to use during their visit. The plans have been fully communicated to intu Victoria Centre’s brand customers who will continue to be provided with support to help them reopen safely and in line with Government guidelines. Research released by intu last week* shows that over 70% of regular shopping centre visitors would actively encourage compulsory hand sanitation, protective screens at tills, limitations on the numbers able to enter stores at any one time, and 2m distance markers. Over 60% would actively encourage in-store security and CCTV or other technology to control crowds, cashless stores, and would be happy with an average wait time of 10 mins for store entry, to allow for safety. Matthew Roberts, chief executive of intu, said: “We are looking forward to welcoming more visitors back to intu Victoria Centre and our other centres from 15 June in line with Government guidance. Our centres have and will always be at the heart of their local communities. intu supports around 3% of all retail jobs in the UK and our centres are home to some of the biggest and best brands, so we are doing everything we can to make them safe places to visit and work. “We know we cannot do this alone and everyone who visits our centres whether for work or to shop will play their part in keeping themselves and each other safe by following the official guidelines, and the instructions and safety information provided by our teams. “Whilst the experience for everyone that visits intu Victoria Centre will be different to normal, our teams will be on hand to deliver that warm welcome our centres have become known for.” House of Fraser, River Island, Topshop and Pandora are among stores to be opening at intu Victoria Centre from Monday 15 June. John Lewis & Partners, Greggs, Next and The Perfume Shop will be opening on 18 June. from https://taxi.nearme.host/intu-victoria-centre-nottingham-which-shops-will-open-next-week-see-safety-measures-in-place-west-bridgford-wire/ How do you specify “small talk”? It’s courteous, easy going and shallow, with no depth whatsoever. It’s anticipated that you welcome somebody at the photo copier or say hello in the corridor. It’s greetings, it’s goodbyes, it’s chitchat in common areas.What’s so excellent about it? What we discovered was that the workers who engaged in more little talk– it didn’t matter with whom– ended up feeling more positive emotions. It made them feel more acknowledged, more recognized and provided a sense of connection with individuals. It made them more going to go out of their method to assist co-workers. However you can’t simply chat with colleagues about the weather throughout the day. Yes, it’s distracting. It’s uplifting and stimulating, however it also interfered with workers ‘ability to focus on and actually be immersed in their work during the day.So on balance, is it a net favorable or unfavorable? It was a net positive. There’s this social paradox: on the one hand, it’s advantageous in developing connection and it produces a sense of connection. However a great deal of individuals consider little talk to be pointless, draining and disruptive. In open office, we see individuals wearing earphones so that they do n’t have to participate in chitchat. That’s actually minimizing their positive emotions and well-being. It’s ignoring the value of little talk.It seems more difficult to engage in spontaneous small talk now that many people are working from house. It’s just more awkward essentially. And it’s worse for staff members’health and well-being, when all that they actually need to do is have casual and lighthearted conversations to be seen and feel connected.Leaders have to create practices that meaningfully incorporate table talks into remote working. Dedicate a little time before meetings and prioritize casual conversations. Develop that time in, simply to greet everyone and exchange pleasantries. The loss of these rituals is actually profound.What’s next in the field of small-talk research study? The transition to social distancing has caused the launch of a brand-new research study looking at what we’re calling”pandemic-induced nostalgia.”Essentially, longing for these discussions now that we’re not able to have them. from https://taxi.nearme.host/did-washington-get-in-ubers-way-the-new-york-times/ Wilko issues statement after Broadmarsh decision forces store to shut Nottinghamshire Live6/15/2020

Household retailer Wilko has announced it will have to close its Broadmarsh store to customers. The shop inside intu Broadmarsh will close this evening following the “disappointing and sudden news” received by the company today (June 12) that the entire shopping centre would be shutting its doors. In a statement released by intu, the owners said: “We have been reviewing the site for a number of weeks now and it’s become clear that we can’t re-open our doors with construction at a standstill and the site the way it currently is. “There are health and safety considerations to take into account and we’re not prepared to put anyone at risk. “Safety is always our priority, and for that reason, we will be temporarily closing the centre from this evening (Friday June 12).” A small number of retailers have been operating at the shopping centre throughout lockdown, with potentially more reopening on Monday, June 15 as restrictions on non-essential stores have been eased. The Wilko store at the intu Broadmarsh centre has been one of the essential retailers that have been open to the public throughout the pandemic. In a statement, a spokesman for the company confirmed the closure of intu Broadmarsh has resulted in its store also having to close. It said it was prioritising its staff and pointed customers to use its alternative city centre branch in Lower Parliament Street.

My personal journey on foot started with the idea of taking the New York City’s subway system to reach any particular area and promising myself that once I get off, I would only get back with sore feet that are ready to collapse. A quick disclaimer, I am skipping some usual suspects, like Central Park and China Town because a day in Central Park or China Town is a different theme altogether. To those who feel you have seen it all, I say walk again and discover Manhattan like never before. NYC is made up of five boroughs, Manhattan is the most famous. You can start your exploration from any place, but I suggest have the area mapped out. Day 1: Exploring Greenwich VillageMy day one started at the west side of lower Manhattan, better known as Greenwich Village. O. Henry paid a memorable ode to West Greenwich village in the opening lines of his haunting short story ‘The Last Leaf’. In a little district west of Washington Square, the streets have run crazy and broken themselves into small strips called “places.” These “places” make strange angles and curves. One street crosses itself a time or two. Then the Village was used to house struggling artists and musicians. The famous Hotel Albert here hosted everyone from Walt Whitman to Andy Warhol. In the ’90s it became popular as the dwelling of the sitcom Friends. Though the show was shot in LA, the characters lived here. You can spot plenty of the famous fire exits everywhere in the Village area and the exterior shot of the building shown in the show can be found in 90 Bedford Street. Chess in the Park There are plenty of other things to do here like just sit around Washington Square Park. The impressive Washington Square Arch presides over a large fountain and a dazzling array of street performers. Checkmate a buddy on the north-west corner of the park with its built-in chess tables or watch some furry friends play catch in the dog park. The area around Washington Square Park also houses the famous New York University, to add to its vibrant young exuberance. If you get hungry MacDougal Street is around the corner and makes global food fest a single street affair. You can hop skip jump between the Ethiopian Injera, Vietnamese Pho, and Spanish Tapas. MacDougal Street is also home to The Comedy Cellar, which hosts both amateur and famous comedians in the New York stand-up scene. For a change, try skipping Starbucks for a quaint Greenwich Village cafe. There are Reggio and Dante among others. You get cozy wooden interiors and a cup of old-fashioned cappuccino. If you want something stronger to drink, then have plenty of options for booze too. Reggio’s 1902 Coffeemaker Not taking sides, but my personal favorite is Reggio, with walls adorned with Italian renaissance paintings and the giant coffee machine from 1902. Take a book along or get a window seat and watch the buzzing street outside. The village has taken center stage in many historic movements. If you decide to walk ahead there is Christopher Street. It has Christopher park with the famous George Segal sculpture honoring the gay rights movement and commemorating the events of the Stone Wall Inn that stands opposite the park. The village has introduced the world to Beatniks and Bohemians. Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, and John Lennon have called it home at different times. Every street here has a hidden corner deeply drenched in rich history and trust me walking around is the only way to sink into them. Day 2: Explore-Midtown ManhattanThis area is the heart of Manhattan’s activity. In the heart of it is Times Square. Placed at 42nd and Broadway, Times Square is filled with a dazzling display of billboards, lights, and Broadway musicals. It’s always brimming with tourists, buzzing with activity. Fun fact, Times Square got its name when the New York Times moved here in 1904. Before that, the area was known as Longacre Square. The already crowded hub gets almost 2 million people when the ball-drop happens, ringing in the New Year. Through the years, it has served as a popular backdrop to many celebrated pieces of art from the iconic V-J Day kiss photograph to the masterful ‘Birdman’. So, it is likely at first look it gives a vibe of “been here” but if you can be a little patient, sit on the red bleacher stairs at northern Duffy Square and soak in the mood, it will turn up as a worthy pit-stop. Watch a Broadway Show You can watch a Broadway musical or take a five to six-minute walk to Bryant Park. Adjacent to the New York Public library this park was a no-go area in 1970s, due to its notorious association with drugs and drug dealers. The park got restored to its current status due to the efforts of prominent and common New Yorkers. Google even installed free Wi-Fi. It’s now an all-weather park, with Empire State watching over it. I especially love it in winter. The Winter Village kiosks serve everything from hot chocolates to hand-knitted mittens. Then there is the ice-skating rink and if you are really lucky you even get to witness the frozen Bryant Park fountain in all its glory. Also walk over next door to the New York Public Library, to witness its magnificent ceilings and reading rooms and also drop by at the children’s section in the basement to see the original Christopher Robin’s toys that made the world of hundred-acre wood. Skating at the Rock A little ahead in the walk is the Rockefeller Center with its famous Ice-skating rink and the even more famous Christmas tree. Even on a non-wintery day, its observatory deck offers a great view of Manhattan or you can just enjoy walking around and marvel at the Art Deco construction that includes the famous Radio City buildings. A short distance away is the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). On Fridays, they even offer free tickets between 4 and 8 pm. It’s a great place to get absorbed in Manet, Monet, and Picasso. It houses some of the world’s most famous artworks including Van Gogh’s Starry Nights and Monet’s Waterlilies among others. MoMA’s modern and pop art collection includes the not-to-be-missed works of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein. If the “Campbell’s soup cans” manage to stimulate your hunger, it is time to head out for Halal guys on 53rd street. Their killer red sauce on chicken over rice is well worth the long queue and wait. Cart food is another delight in the gastronomical landscape of New York City. Even if you skip the Halal guys, head over to any of the zillion carts around the city and get yourself anything from gyro to falafel with a healthy dose of red and white sauce. You haven’t tasted New York if you haven’t tasted its cart food. A good way to end this midtown marathon would be to head to Grand Central Station. You wi ll need to backtrack a few steps from MoMA but Grand Central in just fifteen minutes away. Apart from being a transport hub, the station is also a shopping and dining hub. It has a cathedral-like exterior and is most famous for the astronomical ceiling in its main concourse. Look out for the average commuters in a hurry while being the star gazing tourist! Experts may doubt the accuracy of the constellations, but this backward universe and the four-faced opal grand clock is definitely worth a watch. It’s a famous place to meet! Day 3: Explore-Wall Street and the Financial DistrictAt the southern end of NYC, the New York Subway greets you with Oculus. If Grand Center takes you into the grandeur of the past, Oculus is futuristic spaceship-like. During rush hours you can spot all the banking stereotypes here. Suited men and women, juggling mobile phones along with morning coffee after all Oculus belong to the busiest business district of all, Wall Street. You can get into the observatory of one world trade center and enjoy the birds-eye view of Hudson and Jersey City skyline. The elevator to the observatory also plays an interesting graphic history of the city as it zooms you into its top floors. Just south of the center you will be in the sobering presence of the National September 11 Memorial and Museum. From here you can charge through streets and reach the charging bull statue in about 15 minutes. You will walk past imposing building of the wall street area, cross Trinity church, and then might have to battle a queue of selfie stick holders before you get your turn with the bull. At a short distance from the charging bull, you will reach the southern tip of Manhattan. It’s the sight of the historic Battery Park. There is much to be appreciated here if you are history buff, but other than that it also offers a path along the Hudson to stroll, bike, or run and a stunning view of the freedom tower and Statue of liberty. Ticketed ferries are available for Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty from here. Alternatively, a little ahead you can take a free ride on the Staten Island Ferry at Whitehall Street and feel the Hudson breeze as you experience sailing across the majestic lady liberty. If you are still up for a longish walk after the ferry ride, the Brooklyn Bridge is around forty minutes away. In 1884, 21 elephants and 17 camels had to walk across it to prove to the public that the suspension bridge was steady. Today we have no such problems as both pedestrians and bikers share busy narrow lanes across it. This great feat of engineering is always a very busy tourist attraction. Ideally, end this day with a walk fifteen minutes away to South Street Seaport. Did I mention it’s one of the oldest and most picturesque neighborhoods of Manhattan? Take a sneak peek at the South Street Seaport Museum, stop for a drink at the cobbler stone street, or just feel the ocean from the pier and watch the sun go down. All this my friend is just Manhattan! The city of endless possibilities never disappoints steady feet. So, ladies and gentlemen next time you are in the Big Apple, skip the cab, and don’t forget those sneakers. from https://taxi.nearme.host/seeing-manhattan-without-uber-or-subway-gonomad-travel/

A fire-hit former office block in Barwell that has stood empty for many years could be turned into 14 flats. Island House on Arthur Street was previously home to Arden Direct Marketing and has been vacant since a blaze in December 2012. The complex will include 10 single-bedroom homes and four two-bedroom apartments. The properties will be mostly two storey, with part of the design that faces King Street to include a three-storey element.

A planning statement filed with the application, made in the name of Nigel Dutton, said: “Each unit has been carefully designed to provide a footprint that is accessible from both the front and rear via the footpath connections. “The rear access will be used primarily by residents, whereas the front door will provide a more suitable means of access for deliveries, postman etc. “All of the apartments will have independent access. “The front doors will be facing the street and also there will be rear access from the car park areas and dedicated parking spaces within the building footprint and externally on the site. “The history of the site is manufacturing with the existing buildings being tight on the footpath. “Through the proposed design this is sustained with a quality design element creating a high-quality space and buildings which are attractive, enduring and successful.” The proposal also sets out for the design to be in keeping with the building’s previous use. The statement said: “The appearance of the proposed dwellings is key to the built environment and conservation area. “We seek to retain the Victorian industrial aesthetics by incorporating windows with arched brick headers and sills. “Units that are positioned on the corners of the road are dual fronted to provide architectural interest, the break in eaves and ridge lines further enhance this whilst retaining the strong dominant streetscape. “The contrasting blue brick string course also add to the architectural detailing.” Plans were approved in June 2019 to convert the block into 15 flats but this scheme was withdrawn. Permission was also granted in 2013 to demolish the block and build 13 units. from https://taxi.nearme.host/fire-hit-abandoned-office-block-in-barwell-could-become-14-flats-leicestershire-live/ Family cautions popular donkey company at Skegness beach might collapse Nottinghamshire Live6/9/2020 In a post on Facebook, Mr Nuttall said he could be forced to make a choice as quickly as next month as to whether he returns to beaches in Ingoldmells, Skegness and Cleethorpes.
