HOSPITAL bosses are appealing for local people to raise money for a dementia care appeal and the Alzheimer's Society.

Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has organised a sponsored walk which will be held in Sherwood Forest Country Park, in Edwinstowe, on Sunday, May 18.

Participants can choose from one of three routes which range from one to three-and-a-half miles.

The trust is also looking for volunteers to help out on the day.

Adam Hayward, practice development matron for dementia, said: "Dementia is a growing issue and impacts massively on individuals, families and carers. Events such as this are a great way to help develop more dementia friendly communities, have fun, raise money, and fight dementia every step of the way".

TICKETS for a world- renowned photographer's visit to historic city allotments are available from Tuesday.

Rankin is visiting the St Ann's Allotments, off Ransom Road, on Saturday, May 10, to immortalise the 75-acre site in picture form.

Nottingham's largest allotments, which are home to more than 2,000 fruit trees, beat off competition from locations in Bath, Brighton and Kent to stage the Museums at Night tour.

The weekend will culminate in an exhibition of Rankin's work at the allotments' Victorian Heritage Centre, funded by a £2,000 grant.

Rankin has photographed the Queen and super model Kate Moss but will now be capturing images of volunteers and staff at the allotments hard at work.

Inner-city charity the Renewal Trust, which promoted the bid, is urging people to keep up to date with ticket availability via social media.

Law changes mean review of housing plans

PLANS for 830 houses and 700 jobs are being re-submitted to a council after changes to the interpretation of green-belt law.

The Teal Close development, in Netherfield, was given outline planning permission by Gedling Borough Council in January.

Amendments have now been made to two conditions of the proposals, which include building on agricultural land past the Victoria Retail Park.

A High Court judgement was handed down in March after a judicial review found that changing agricultural land into biodiversity areas was classed as harmful to the green belt.

Gedling has therefore been asked to reconsider the plans under the new legislation and officers have tweaked the conditions.

The amended proposals go before the planning committee on Wednesday.

Royal links to colliery site

BESTWOOD Park was owned by the Crown until the 17th century, when it was handed over to King Charles II's mistress and illegitimate son.

The land was used for farms in the early 19th century before the onset of the industrial revolution.

Bestwood Colliery opened in the 1870s and attracted thousands of workers to the village as it became one of the busiest coal mines in Nottinghamshire.

At the height of the industrial period, the colliery would have been powered by steam from a set of Babcock water tube boilers.

The winding engine, which is the last remaining part of the colliery, dates back to 1876.

During the mining years, it lowered colliers into the mine shaft and winched coal to the surface.

Since 1998, there has been an electrohydraulic system powering the winding engine wheel.

This has now been updated following a fault and modernised.

Visitors can take a ride to the top of the building in a glass lift and see the winding wheel up close.

Tours are free and led by members of the Winding Engine House Volunteer Group, which led the recent renovation.

Pickles' drive could hit city parking levy

NOTTINGHAM commuters could have another option to avoid the workplace parking levy after Eric Pickles gave the go-ahead for residents to rent out their driveways.

The communities secretary slammed local councils for being "parking bullies" by stopping people renting out the space without planning permission and threatening fines of up to £20,000 if they broke the rules.

He has promised to "cut petty state regulations to make renting out your driveway even easier". Mr Pickles said: "Town halls shouldn't be stopping hard-working people from making a bit of extra cash from their homes. This is helping to provide more low-cost parking spaces for commuters, tourists and shoppers."

The decision could please businesses subject to Nottingham City Council's workplace parking levy, which applies to firms within the city boundary that provide 11 or more car parking spaces.

In April 2014, the levy rose by 8% to £362 per space, causing concern for businesses facing hefty charges.

But the council said the money was important for funding vital public infrastructure, such as the new tram lines.

Now, commuters may have the choice to park in suburbs for a small fee, rather than continue using workplace car parks. Mr Pickles added: "Renting out your driveway is a great example of grassroots entrepreneurship."

D-day looming for village homes plan

UP to 70 homes could be given planning permission in a development in a Notts village.

The development on Cornwater Fields in Longdale Lane, Ravenshead, goes before Gedling Borough Council's planning committee on Wednesday.

The plot, near Ravenshead Leisure Centre, would feature a play area and open space incorporated into the houses, 21 of which will be bungalows.

The remaining houses will be a mix of two to five-bed homes and nine of the bungalows will be made "affordable".

Three objections were made which queried who would manage the open space and claimed the houses would be too imposing.

Council officers consulted Ravenshead Parish Council, which said it was "realistic" about the need for housing in the area.

A statement from the parish council said: "The village needs accommodation for asset-rich, down-sizing Ravenshead older people."

But concerns were raised about the uncertainty in the designs and site of homes.

"We are unhappy with the prospect of housing in the masterplan, being sited immediately adjacent to street pavements," says a statement from the parish council.

"This is untypical of the Ravenshead scenario, except for the Taylor Wimpey Development on the other Cornwall site, which we abhor."

Plan to split city into quarters to draw shoppers

BUSINESSES have given a big thumbs-up to plans to carve Nottingham into four unique quarters.

The aim is to take the city back into the top five retail destinations outside London and slash the number of empty shops.

A consultation on the blueprint by Nottingham City Council has now ended and local businesses, organisations and individuals have broadly welcomed it.

It would mean the creation of three new quarters – Castle, Royal and Canal – to sit alongside the existing Creative Quarter, each with its own identity.

Dawn Hartley, owner of Hartley's café, in Carlton Street, Hockley, within the Creative Quarter, said the scheme had benefited her and should be extended.

She said: "The Creative Quarter is well established and works really well. It would be good to build the identity of other areas, too."

The Time and Place Plan also includes proposals for free wireless internet to be made available throughout the centre – which has been widely welcomed.

Nottingham is currently the eighth most popular city with shoppers outside the capital, according to the 2013 CACI Retail Footprint standings, which measure transaction data.

Nick McDonald, the council's portfolio holder for jobs and growth, said: "The city centre is the shop window of the city and its success as an employment, retail and leisure centre is vital to the success of the city as a whole.

"Nottingham's city centre is attractive, well used and easily accessible but there are still improvements needed, which is why we need this long-term plan so we continue to develop and improve the city centre for local residents, businesses and visitors."

The final draft of the plan will be discussed by the council's executive board on Tuesday.

Lee Westwood faces battle to land Malaysian Open title

WORKSOP'S Lee Westwood has a fight on his hands to claim a 13th win in Asia and 41st of his career after seeing a commanding lead almost wiped out by Andy Sullivan in the Maybank Malaysian Open. Westwood held a four-shot lead at the halfway stage at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club and was five ahead of the chasing pack after five holes of Saturday's third round. But the 40-year-old picked up just one further birdie and bogeyed the 18th for a round of 71 to finish 14 under par, one ahead of Sullivan who returned a superb 66. France's Julien Quesne is four shots off the lead after a 69 containing seven birdies and four bogeys, with Westwood's Ryder Cup team-mate Nicolas Colsaerts another shot back after a 72. Westwood looked to be in complete control when he birdied the first for the third day running, but the former world number one then missed a short par putt on the second. At that stage he was just two ahead of playing partner Antonio Lascuna, the 43-year-old from the Philippines having birdied the first and third, but Lascuna then ran up a triple-bogey eight on the fifth as Westwood made birdie to move five shots clear. Westwood had covered the front nine in 31 on each of the first two days but a run of pars took him out in 35 and allowed Sullivan and fellow Englishman Danny Willett to close the gap. Sullivan had gone to the turn in 33 and also birdied the par-five 10th, while Willett was also out in 33 thanks to five birdies and two bogeys on the front nine. A birdie on the 11th, the par three which had cost him a double bogey on Friday when his tee shot found the water guarding the green, took Westwood four clear once more, but Sullivan birdied the 12th and 16th to close within two. And when Westwood dropped a shot on the last after finding a fairway bunker with his second shot, the destiny of the title was very much back in the balance. Westwood admitted the extremely hot conditions had played a part in his poor finish to the round, adding: "It was tricky out there. I didn't play as well as I did the first two days, but there were some difficult flags and it was really hot. "That's as hot as I've been on a golf course for quite some time. It was a real grind. I was leaking out there a little bit. "You can get glazed up and lose your concentration quite easily but I'm leading going into the last round so I'm quite happy with that. "It'll be hot again tomorrow so I'll just have to try to keep control of my swing, the ball and my emotions. It's easy to get wound up when it's as hot and humid as this." Sullivan is looking for his first European Tour title but can draw on his experience in the Hassan Trophy last month, when he finished second after a closing 63. it leads me."

Peter Moores confirmed as new England coach as Mick Newell misses out

NOTTINGHAMSHIRE'S Mick Newell has missed out in the race to become England coach after Peter Moores was officially unveiled on Saturday morning. Director of cricket Newell was interviewed at Lord's last Wednesday but the ECB went with Lancashire coach Moores. Moores, 51, returns for his second stint as England coach – having held the post between April 2007 and January 2009 when a fallout with Kevin Pietersen ended his reign. ECB managing director Paul Downton said: "Peter has a great reputation around the world as an outstanding coach and he will return to the role as England head coach with a great deal more experience and understanding of the challenges that the role presents. "There is no doubt that he is the leading English coach of his generation and I believe that this is his time. "His domestic credentials are beyond reproach having won the County Championship at Sussex and then repeating the feat at Lancashire, whose 2011 triumph was their first for 77 years. "He was also the lead at the National Cricket Performance Centre at Loughborough between 2005 and his appointment as England coach in 2007. "In his time with England he gave Test debuts to Stuart Broad, Matt Prior and Graeme Swann as well as helping to further the international careers of players like the current England captain Alastair Cook and James Anderson. "He also brought Andy Flower into the England set-up as well as influential individuals like Mushtaq Ahmed as spin bowling coach. "I was hugely impressed by his vision for the future of the England team and I am looking forward to working with him in the years to come. "I would personally like to thank Ashley Giles for the job he did with the limited-overs squads in the last 18 months. "It was a really difficult decision to make as we had an outstanding field but the panel were unanimous in the choice of Peter and I know that support will be echoed around the counties." Moores said: "I am very excited about the prospect of returning to a role I have done before and to building a strong relationship with Alastair Cook and the rest of the players and staff. In any time of change there comes opportunity and this is one I can't wait to get stuck into."

MICK Newell has told the Post there are no hard feelings despite missing out on the England job he so craved. The Nottinghamshire director of cricket was interviewed last week as he made the shortlist to replace Andy Flower. However, the ECB chose to give Lancashire coach Peter Moores a second chance in the job. Newell had previously said this was his best chance to win the right to lead his country and even though that door has slammed shut, possibly for good, he insists he holds no ill will to the Lord's top brass. He said: "I was pleased to get an interview and be given a chance to put my case across. Even though I missed out I think it went pretty well. "Of course if you apply for a job you want it and are disappointed when you don't get it. That's what's happened and after a few days off for Easter I'll be fully focussed on preparing Notts for our next game. "There was an excellent line-up of coaches in the final interviews and I fully appreciate the decision they made."

Hillsborough tragedy sparks Danny Rhodes' novel Fan 25 years on

AS a teenager Danny Rhodes lived for Nottingham Forest. Nothing else mattered except standing at the Trent End with his mates and travelling the length and breadth of the country for away games. But all that changed on April 15, 1989 at Hillsborough when 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death in the FA Cup semi-final against Forest. Twenty five years on, Danny recalls that tragic day in a compelling semi-autobiographical novel, Fan, about teenager John Finch, whose adult life is haunted by the horrors he witnessed. Danny, who was 17 at the time, saw faces pressed against the wire mesh and bodies laid out in rows along the touchline. He says: "We witnessed the game begin and the events unfold slowly in front of our eyes. "We witnessed people injured but then you start to see some aren't injured... it's worse than that. There are certain things that stick in my mind about that as I'm sure they do with all the people who were stood in there with us. "For the first hour, no one knew what was going on and looking back at it now it sounds utterly preposterous but we still didn't know if the game was going to be played." Fan is 42-year-old Danny's third novel. Gritty and disturbing, it was a painful and difficult story to write on a personal and wider level. "It created a lot of anxiety because you're writing about real things and real events and I have been nervous about the response to it. "If you're going to tell a story like this, you've got to tell it as it was. You can't hide behind a veil – to give a real sense of what the horror was, you have to deliver it that way." Danny, who grew up on a tough estate in Grantham and works as an English teacher in a secondary school in Canterbury, emphasises that he doesn't want to come across as a victim. "At the end of the day we stood and watched it happen – we weren't in the other end and we certainly weren't in danger.... although there's other games on other days where I look back now and think it could have easily happened." His thoughts remain with the families who lost loved ones that day. "I feel their pain, I feel their suffering – I can't believe it's 25 years and it hasn't been resolved. "Everybody needs closure on it including the thousands of people like myself – and that's one of the reasons I wanted to write the book to give a voice to people that maybe weren't in Leppings Lane but were still there. "The thing I try to explain to younger people today is the FA Cup in 1989 was the biggest competition. It was huge – not like this half-baked thing it is today. It was the absolute pinnacle. Clough was desperate to win it and we were desperate to witness that. Everything in the season built up to it and at that very moment you're supposed to be witnessing this spectacle, this other thing happens. This lurch in emotion between the event you're expecting to see and the reality was massive." Coming from a practical background "where you just get on with things" it wasn't until he started researching the symptoms of post traumatic stress for the novel, that Danny recognised one or two familiar traits in himself. "I have moments where my mind races and I lose a period of time to nothing, like stepping out of yourself. "I guess it's hard to know whether any of it is triggered or whether it's in you anyway. This might be normal... if I go out I have this anxiety issue where I have to have the house perfect before I leave it... it's as if you're never going to come back to it. I have a very morbid fascination with sudden death, the notion that it can happen at any second." Despite widespread debate about the tragedy, he could never have a conversation with anyone about his personal experience. "That's one of the things I try and get across in the book. "I remember being in a pub garden with a load of football lads and they were talking about it. I mentioned that I was there and they didn't want to talk about it any more. It's very strange. "They probably think that you, as a witness to it, are sensitive to it or they don't want to say anything out of place. Weirdly it's like when you talk to someone and they tell you they're ill and you really don't know what to say." The father-of-two stopped going to the game the season following the disaster. Today he occasionally watches Charlton play but he's fallen out of love with football. The collective spirit there was in the 80s is long gone, he feels. "Football has changed a lot for the worse in my opinion. It's not the game we used to go and see in the 80s. "It's ruled by money now. The stadiums were grim in the 80s but that made it a working man's game – I don't think it is anymore. It was much rawer and a more dangerous experience in the 80s and that's what lured me to it. It was an escape." * Fan is available from book shops and online priced £11.99. A percentage of the profits will be donated to Anfield Sports and Community Centre in memory of the Hillsborough 96.

Mayor of Gedling opens Sarlouto Dance Academy in Arnold

Arnold has welcomed a new family business to its high street with the opening of the Sarlouto Dance Academy. The mayor of Gedling, councillor Bob Collis, cut the ribbon on Saturday to unveil the studio on Nottingham Road, run by husband and wife team Paul and Sarah Tolley of Carlton. Mr Tolley, 50, said years of hard work had led to the moment for the couple, adding: "It is achieving a dream for us." The pair have been running weekly dance classes in St Paul's Church hall in Arnold since September, but as interest grew, they knew it was time to seek out their own space. Mrs Tolley, 37, the principal dance instructor at Sarlouto - inspired by her full name Sarah Louise Tolley - said she was thrilled to be opening the academy's doors in a place she holds dear. She said: "I absolutely love Arnold and always come here. Everything here is for everybody and now we can offer dance for everyone, from children to adults." The couple's daughter Jade, 13, is a rising star, having just won the modern dance competition at Shepshed Dance Festival. Now she is helping out with the family business too, teaching some of the youngest pupils, who can start as early as two. She said: "I just love teaching the kids and showing them how to dance. They really enjoy it." Councillor Collis praised the entrepreneurial spirit of the Tolley family and said centres like Sarlouto were important for the community. He said: "It is good for youngsters go have something to occupy their minds. For both lads and lasses it can offer them something constructive to do rather than going the other way and that benefits them hugely." His wife, councillor Anne Collis, added: "It is really great exercise for them too which is needed today with bad health becoming a bigger problem. It is just a fantastic studio." Sarlouto already has 18 pupils signed up and offers a range of dancing styles, from traditional tap and ballet to modern and acro. Chloe Stubbs, nine, from Gedling, has been dancing for several years already and is excited to be able to learn in the new space. She said: "My favourite is acro as you get to do all the dancing but with handstands as well. It is really fun." Freya Stubbs, six, is following in her big sister's footsteps, adding: "My favourite is tap because it is noisy!"

Coronation Street star Alan Halsall praised the work of a Nottingham care home, changing his mind about the residences after a poor experience with his own grandmother at another home. The soap star, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the longstanding ITV show, visited Coppice Lodge in Arnold on Saturday to help residents celebrate Easter. He handed out chocolate eggs, posed for photos and judged the hotly contested bonnet making competition for the room full of excited pensioners. It was his second visit to the home - run by Ideal Care Homes - after a long standing relationship with the organisation. Mr Halsall said: "I have been friends with the owner Lawrence Tomlinson for a long time and Mark Greaves who is the managing director and a couple of years ago they asked if I would visit a care home." But despite wanting to help his longstanding friends, he was still unsure because of his own experience. He said: "I was a bit skeptical because my Nana was in a home which I really didn't like. "But once I went, I realised it was more like a hotel than a home and me and my wife loved coming along." Mr Halsall spoke to all the thrilled residents but said it wasn't just them who got something out of it. He said: "If you can put a smile on someone's face it feels great. I love it. "You meet some real characters and have a bit of fun. It is a great day and I really enjoy it." Effie Titchmarsh, 94, was one of the winners of the competition and beamed with pride when the TV star gave her an award. She said: "The competition is great for us. It gives some excitement to the old people and we need that. I really like Corrie and I am excited to meet Tyrone. You have to enjoy every moment don't you?" Doreen Overton, 86, had been at the home the last time Mr Halsall visited and was ecstatic to get to talk to him again. She said: "I was here when he visited before but I was really excited to get to meet him again. He is a really great man, very genuine and it is lovely to have him here." Tracey Millband, manager of Coppice Lodge Care Home, said it was a boost for everyone when Mr Halsall came to visit. She said: "They are all made up and have the excitement of someone from the TV coming. He is lovely and we really appreciate him coming along."
