Update on
Affordable Homes in Cropwell Bishop
Rushcliffe Borough Council has
recently granted planning permission to Eastern Shires
Housing Association (now Waterloo Housing Group) for 12
affordable homes on land to the rear of Hoe View Road.
The 12 homes, 7 for social rent
and 5 for HomeBuy (where you can part rent and part own) are
being built to meet the needs of people in housing need with
strong local connection to the village. Without these new
affordable homes many of those in need would have to move
out of the area to access suitable and affordable
accommodation, away from family, friends and existing
support networks.
Waterloo Housing Group has
employed contractors to build the homes who will hopefully
be starting on site in May, and the homes will hopefully be
completed by November 2009.
Waterloo Housing Group and
Rushcliffe Borough Council have already received a number of
applications for the scheme from people in need with a
connection to the village. If you haven't applied and are
interested then please contact the following:
For interest in the rented
homes - Housing Options Team, Rushcliffe Borough Council on

homes - Sales and Marketing Team, Waterloo Housing Group on

Cropwell
Bishop Primary School Council
| Over the past two
years members of Cropwell Bishop Parish Council have
been invited to attend on a regular basis the local
Primary School's Council meetings.The School Council
is made up of two pupils from each year, elected to
serve for one year by their fellow pupils. This
year's Chairman is: Tom Nattrass, assisted by Hannah
Aldrich, acting as Secretary.
It has always been the aim of the parish council
representatives to form a lasting relationship with pupils
as they grow through the school system and eventually use
this relationship to form a village youth council when the
community building or 'Old School' become operational.
The Chairman of the Parish Council, Cllr Alan Wilson stated
in his annual report that by showing mutual respect and
understanding for young people and by supporting our
children and young people, we would break the cycle of
disaffection and the inevitable anti-social behaviour that
follows.
Head Teacher Phil Palmer has encouraged both children and
councillors in this relationship, and believes this positive
thinking and action is essential for our community to
develop positively.

Nottinghamshire County Council
Nottinghamshire County Council is launching
an eye-catching publicity campaign to
encourage local people to get in touch - as
it's brand new 'golden number' goes live.
The new
number -
08449 80 80 80
- was launched to the public on Monday 30th
June. People who phone the number will
speak to one of the County Council's trained
customer services centre advisors and can
get advice and information about over 300
County Council services.
Calls will go
through to the County Council's customer
services centre, which is based at Sherwood
Business Park in Ashfield. The staff aim to
answer 80% of queries at this first point of
contact. If they need to find our more
information, they won't just pass them on to
someone else, but will investigate the
enquiry themselves and get back in touch
with the customer.
The customer
service centre is open from 8 am - 8 pm
Monday to Friday and from 8 am to 12 noon on
Saturdays. It is closed on Sundays and Bank
Holidays.
Calls to
08449 80 80 80 cost 3p per minute

location and the time of day the call is
made. Call charges from other operators and
mobile phone may vary. |
