Rushcliffe Liberal Democrats

Between 8.0 on Monday 30 July and 17.00 on Wednesday 1 August, Boundary Road will be closed for 100 metres east of the junction with Selby Road.

The closure is for Severn Trent to do connections. This information is supplied by the County Council. The advised alternative is to travel along Melton and Loughborough Rds and the A52!!

Rushcliffe Liberal Democrats have elected local campaigner, Jason Billin, as their Prospective Parliamentary Candidate (PPC).

Jason, who runs his own small design and publishing company, is a long term resident of East Leake where he has served as a school governor and community volunteer. He is widely known across Rushcliffe through his voluntary work as District Explorer Scout Commissioner.

Play areas for children and young people will be specified within Rushcliffe's policy which is used to consider planning applications. Liberal Democrat Councillor Rod Jones raised this and gained agreement.

In supporting the Local Plan Part 2 at the Council meeting on 26 April, he referred to residents feelings that the Borough is being crammed. He called on the Council to ask other authorities to get ahead of the growth and stop lagging behind. He cited the County Highways weak approach to provision for on- site parking in West Bridgford; GP surgeries which are creaking from East Leake to East Bridgford, from Bingham to West Bridgford and the high pressure in many areas on places in Primary and Secondary Schools.

The County Council's consultation period is now over. This is what we submitted.

"This is a response in my capacity as Local Borough Councillor for Musters Ward which has the support of my colleague Councillor Karrar Khan. I am copying my comments to the County Cllr for the area, Gordon Wheeler.

I very much welcome all the proposals in West Bridgford in the interests of safety and reduced risks of vehicle accidents.

A planning application has just been made for an Aldi store plus a care home with some extra-care apartments.

This is on the land between Landmere Lane and the ring road. In other words to the left as you drive into Wheatcroft Garden Centre and where Harry Wheatcroft once grew his famous roses.

Rushcliffe Liberal Democrats have been calling on Nottinghamshire County Council to reverse their morally indefensible decision to withdraw from the Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children: interim national transfer scheme and urgently resume the acceptance of transferred lone refugee children in Nottinghamshire.
