FOPP's new Nottingham store will be in the Broadmarsh centre, it has been revealed.

The store will leave its Queen Street store on the evening of Monday, July 21 to make way for a new barbecue restaurant.

Music and film fans mounted a campaign to keep Fopp open after the store's future in the city was thrown into doubt.

But Fopp's parent company has announced the new store will be on the ground floor of the shopping centre, two units up from Poundstretcher.

The company are in the process of fitting out the store and have said they will be "opening soon".

NOTTINGHAM Forest are facing an anxious wait to discover if they have suffered yet another injury blow before the new season kicks-off.

The Reds could face seeing influential midfielder Henri Lansbury sidelined for some time with a knee injury.

It remains unclear how serious the former Arsenal man's problem is, after he hobbled off early in their 1-0 defeat at Rio Ave on Saturday night.

The club have confirmed that Lansbury has collected a knee problem – but they are unlikely to find out how bad the issue is until the swelling has gone down.

The players were flying back from Portugal yesterday and Lansbury is likely to have a scan in the next 24 hours, to assess the severity of the injury.

Boss Stuart Pearce is already facing severe defensive problems as the injury crisis that overshadowed the finale to last season threatens to continue into the new campaign.

Forest are already likely to be without Jack Hobbs (ankle), Kelvin Wilson (calf), Chris Cohen (knee) and Eric Lichaj (groin) until September, while Jamaal Lascelles is also fighting to shake off a knee problem that is hampering his pre-season preparations.

Striker Dexter Blackstock will also not be fit for the start of the new campaign, as he continues his recovery from a serious knee injury.

Now it seems Lansbury is a major doubt for the new season, with assistant manager Steve Wigley admitting that it was a cause for concern when the player immediately signalled that he had a problem following a clash with Filipe Augusto 12 minutes into the friendly in Portugal.

"We are just hoping it is not as bad as it seemed when it happened, because he put his arm up right away," said Wigley, after the game.

"The physios will have a look at what the swelling is like."

Wigley felt as though the game was a good workout for the Reds, asides from that injury to Lansbury.

"It was a good workout, the lads know they have been in a game," he said. "We will now get ready for Rotherham on Wednesday."

FOUR police stations are to close across Nottingham – as Government budget cuts push the force to "tipping point".

The move was announced today by Assistant Chief Constable Simon Torr, who confirmed the police stations in Sneinton, The Meadows, Arnold and Carlton are to close.

He said there would be no reduction in the number of officers on the beat and alternative sites would be set up, possibly in shops or shared buildings, so that people could still meet their local beat officers.

But he warned that Notts Police had reached a stage where there were no more savings to be made – following budget cuts of £42 million in the past four years.

A public consultation has run for several months about the future of the four police stations, headed up by Police and Crime Commissioner Paddy Tipping.

Mr Tipping admitted that the proposals were not popular with the public, but said that relocating staff to other sites – so the buildings could be sold off – and installing local bases to house neighbourhood policing teams would keep the areas safe. This will also save £2.4 million over three years.

Mr Tipping said: "While people didn't necessarily like the fact that police stations and front counters must change to negotiate current funding pressures, they do understand that we have little room to manoeuvre and our hands are effectively tied.

"I think it's fair to say that no one wants to put buildings before police officers, so the only way around it is to utilise our front counters more effectively."

Mr Tipping said he had also listened to the worries of more than 2,000 people in Carlton who signed a petition protesting against the closure following an article in the Post.

"Carlton Police Station is a big, prestigious building and people are concerned about it, so we have listened and are going to keep the front counter open rather than close it," he said.

Mr Tipping also promised no police stations would close until the smaller bases had opened.

Assistant Chief Constable Torr welcomed a more "business-like" approach to the service, ensuring it offers value for tax payers' money. "We can't cut £40 million out of a budget and say it has had no effect," he added.

NOTTINGHAM Forest are understood to have agreed a deal to take Crystal Palace defender Jack Hunt on loan.
Stuart Pearce has acted quickly to bring in another player to address the club's defensive injury crisis.
Hunt, 23, is a right back who made nine starts and two substitute appearances for Barnsley last season, after joining them on loan in the second half of the campaign.
The defender was initially a product of the Huddersfield youth set up and made 112 starts and nine sub appearances for the Terriers, before joining Palace in the summer of 2013.
Forest currently have five potential members of their back four sidelined with injury and fighting to be fit for the start of the new campaign.
They include American international full back Eric Lichaj, who has a groin problem that could keep him out until September.
Forest have already added Michael Mancienne to their squad in the past week, with the 26-year-old joining in a £1m deal from Hamburg.
Central defenders Kelvin Wilson (calf), Jamaal Lascelles (knee) and Jack Hobbs (ankle) are all still recovering, while skipper Chris Cohen is still recuperating from his serious knee injury.
But the arrival of Hunt, which is expected to be confirmed over the next 24 hours, will at least provide competition at right back.

Q "My 15-year-old daughter's just finished her exams, yet she still seems very stressed because of other things going on in her life, like the way she looks, her results, and the future generally. What's the best way I can help her?"

A Shelley Davidow, author of Raising Stress-Proof Kids, says: "Being 15 isn't easy. Couple that with exam stress and your teen could be at the end of her tether.

"Chronic exam stress means that it could be hard now for your daughter's body to turn off the fight-or-flight response. The result? Everything in her life can elicit an overactive stress response.

"Getting her nervous system back into balance is the first step. To do this, tell her to focus her attention on the area of the heart, and to breathe regularly and evenly for a few minutes each day, even adding a feeling of gratitude to each breath.

"This is the Institute of HeartMath's Quick Coherence Technique and it will re-set her autonomic nervous system. Next, it's important that you're not feeding her anxiety about her results and future.

"Instil in her your belief in her capacity to achieve her goals, regardless of a one-off test. Your perception of your daughter and your reactions to her can have a profound impact on her sense of self.

"Also, since recent research indicates most people will have several careers in a lifetime, it's highly unlikely that she'll have a single vocation.

"So help her build a picture of a fluid, open future, rather than one predetermined by current exam results.

"This will help to re-establish her sense of trust in the future. Finally, ask her what she'd love to do now, short-term, post exams. This shows you value her and her needs.

"Chat about how her dream might be realised. If she knows that you care about what she wants and she's motivated by the possibility of doing it, her confidence will grow.

"Insecurities about looks, friends and future will likely diminish as her focus turns to doing something significant that matters to her."

MORE than £190,000 in fines and costs are to be paid out by a Nottinghamshire company.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) prosecuted SPS Aerostructures Ltd, of Annesley, after finding workers had developed either Hand Arm Vibration syndrome or carpal tunnel syndrome after being exposed to vibrations at the company's premises.

Nottingham Crown Court heard yesterday the issue dated back to 2005.

SPS Aerostructures Ltd were fined £125,000 and ordered to pay £65,805 in costs for breaching the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

YOUNG Corey Gregory never let illness stop him living life to the full.

In his tragically short life, the brave youngster from Kirkby-in-Ashfield managed to swim with dolphins, grapple with some of TV's Gladiators and touch the hearts of all he met.

Corey, who suffered from a rare condition that affected his immune system, died on July 15, aged 11, at the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle upon Tyne.

"We'll miss him for being the lovable active little character he was," said mum Laura, 36.

"We used to call him the Little Dominating One because he told everyone what to do!"

Dad Stephen was proud of the impact his son made.

"He was a very bubbly little boy. People always knew when Corey was in the room," said Mr Gregory, 35, a refuse collector. "Even when he was in hospital. he still lit up the room. When he got ill all the nurses were constantly asking how he was."

The Post first reported on Corey and his sister Chloee, 15, back in 2005. Both children were diagnosed with Apeced Syndrome, which damages the immune system and makes sufferers susceptible to infections.

At that time, Corey was unable to go to school and could only gain weight by being fed through a tube in his sleep. In later years, he flourished at Bracken Hill School on Chartwell Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, where he studied for the last two years of his life.

"He loved school. He did a lot of cricket, after-school and breakfast clubs. He even went away on school trips," said Mrs Gregory.

Corey's health started to deteriorate in May. After a stomach operation at the Queen's Medical Centre, he contracted surgical pneumonia.

He was placed on a ventilator and transferred to the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne.

Corey was being kept alive by the ventilator for over three weeks and was admitted to the Royal Victoria Infirmary to recover. Unfortunately, following a short respite, his lungs deteriorated and eventually collapsed.

"We were all with him when he passed away – mum, dad, sister, grandparents, aunts and uncles. He got a chance to say goodbye to everybody," said Mrs Gregory.

Throughout Corey's life, the family have been supported by several charities.

Nottingham-based When You Wish Upon A Star arranged for Corey to meet some of his favourite Gladiators in 2008.

National charity Dreams Come True sent the family to Florida in 2011 to swim with dolphins.

In return, the family have set up a page where people can leave memories of Corey and donate to either charity if they wish. It can be found at https://www.funeralzone.co.uk/memorials/2080.

Corey's funeral will take place at 2pm on Friday, August 1, at Bramcote Crematorium.

PAULINE Lynch first walked through the doors of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour Primary School more than half a century ago.

Having started at the age of four in January 1961, she went on to become a teacher and then head of the Catholic school.

Having left twice before, tomorrow will be her last day before retirement.

She said: "I have a long history in this school. I am going to miss it and certainly will miss the pupils.

"I have had a wonderful time here, as a pupil, a teacher and now as the head."

Pauline is one of several school staff retiring as the school breaks up for the summer.

Our Lady was her first teaching job at the end of the 1970s. She left to go to Holy Cross Primary in Hucknall as deputy head before gaining her first headship in Shirebrook.

She returned in the top job at Our Lady, in Piccadilly, Bulwell, in 2000 and has remained there since.

For two years, she has worked alongside Celine Toner as co-head. Mrs Toner takes sole charge from September.

Mrs Lynch, 58, added: "I'm sure she will do a great job. This is a wonderful community school. I taught some of the parents of the children who are here now.

"I just felt that this is the right time to go.

"Things in education have changed a lot over the years. Obviously technology is one big change, with us now using iPads. Academies are also a major change."

Mrs Lynch had a celebratory mass at the school on July 11 to mark her retirement. More than 300 people, including past pupils and staff and members of the Catholic community, attended.

She was presented with a diamond necklace bearing the school's initials.

Mrs Toner said: "She will be a hard act to follow. I was deputy head for seven years before working with her as joint head. She has been a very good mentor. I feel confident that from September we can continue the good work we do here at the school."

The school is rated "good with outstanding features" by Ofsted.

And the pupils said they were also going to miss their head teacher.

Alex McDonald, ten, whose dad was taught by Mrs Lynch, said: "She is really nice. She always has a smile on her face and that makes you feel good about yourself, even on difficult days."

Sophie McNiffe, nine, added: "The school won't be the same without her.

"She is very friendly. She praises you if you do well and she makes you feel better when you are not doing well.

"We are all going to miss her here."

POLICE have released a photo of a man following a theft from a shop in Mansfield.

The incident took place at the Vision Express store in the Four Seasons Shopping Centre last Thursday.

The man, pictured, is a white male, with a medium to large build, shaven head and close-cut beard.

He was seen wearing a pair of sunglasses, balanced on top of his head, with a Stone Roses band T-shirt and blue shorts.

Nottinghamshire Police have said they would like to speak to him following this incident.

If you recognise this man or have any information that could help in their investigation call 101 or contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting incident number AM/052921/14.

THE Chief Inspector of Hospitals has recommended that Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust should remain in special measures.

The trust was put into special measures last year by Sir Bruce Keogh after concerns were raised around mortality rates and standards of care.

Now it has been told that it must make improvements including ensuring secure systems are in place for storing medicine and that appropriate numbers of staff are in place for care required at Newark Hospital.

Care Quality Commission chief inspector of hospitals Professor Sir Mike Richards said: "I recognise Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust has been working hard over the last year to make improvements. While we saw signs of improvement, the trust still has some way to go before it reaches the required standard."

PLANS to extend Nottingham's tram system further into the county will come another step closer when councillors meet to discuss the construction of a line into Kimberley.

Private-sector businesses along the proposed tram route into the town have already committed £35,000 towards a feasibility study to explore the viability of bringing the tram to the town.

Broxtowe borough councillors are set to meet next Tuesday to decide whether to approve the creation of the proposed study.

It would be a further update to another study that was completed a few years ago.

Council leader Councillor Milan Radulovic said: "We're delighted to have been given the opportunity to be given a transport solution for the 21st century. Businesses are very keen to see this solution for the mass movement of people without the need for extensive car parking and reliance on fossil fuels."

Councillors will meet to discuss the proposed Kimberley Tram Extension Feasibility Study on Tuesday, July 29, in the New Council Chamber, Town Hall, Beeston at 6pm.

AN uncle was granted his dying wish of reuniting with his Nottingham nephew just before he died – thanks to the Post

Eamonn Hayes, from Bunclody in County Wexford, was diagnosed with terminal cancer and told by doctors he had just weeks to live.

But he was desperate to see his nephew, David Hayes, 50, pictured, of St Ann's, with whom he lost touch with four years ago.

After a whirlwind 24 hours of internet campaigning from the Post, we managed to locate Mr Hayes and put him and his cousin, Alan Byrne, back in touch.

Soon afterwards, Mr Hayes got on a plane and was able to see his uncle before he died on the evening of Wednesday, July 16.

Mr Byrne said: "Thankfully David was able to make it over just in time to see Eamonn.

"I think he was content after seeing David.

"It has been a very hard time for all the family and it will take some considerable time to come to terms with it.

"David will be going back home on Thursday and we will not lose touch with him again.

"I will be going over to Nottingham hopefully later in the year."

A MUM was left fighting for her life after a routine operation went horrifically wrong.

Michele Price's fiance and daughter sat by her side for five days while the 48-year-old lay in a medically induced coma.

Michele, from Long Eaton, went in for routine keyhole surgery at the Nottingham Treatment Centre, at the QMC, to help cure pain that had developed in her pelvis.

She returned home the same day but was rushed back to hospital early the following morning suffering terrible pain and vomiting.

Doctors believed that it was a simple complication but it turned out that her bowel had been sliced open and was leaking fluid into her body.

A section of her bowel was removed and her stomach was left open for two days to help avoid her having to have a stoma bag fitted.

She was then left in a medically-induced coma to help fight the infection that was causing her organs to shut down before having staples to close the wound.

Her fiance, Stephen Harcourt, and daughter Leah Price, 14, were by her side.

Stephen, 47, a self-employed window salesman, said: "I sat by her bed day after day not knowing whether she would live or die.

"I wasn't told anything."

Michele suffered further complications after being released from hospital, including a hernia, and had to close down her cleaning business.

The family is now surviving on one income.

Now, after the initial operation on August 9, 2011, her solicitors at Irwin Mitchell have found a catalogue of errors by staff at the hospital.

They have also secured an admission of liability from The Secretary of State for Health and Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust that paves the way for a settlement to be reached.

Michele said: "My life has been turned upside down.

"I feel truly let down by staff as I suffered so many needless complications and my life has been devastated. It was meant to be a routine procedure but I was left fighting for my life."

Dr Stephen Fowlie, medical director at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "We reiterate our apologies to Ms Price and her family for the shortcomings in our care in 2011.

"Although Ms Price was reviewed by specialist registrars or consultants on each of the three days between her initial and second operation, we accepted our external expert's view that senior review should have been more frequent.

"Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust has done considerable work in the last two years to improve recognition of deterioration in patients, and to speed-up escalation to senior doctors when it does occur."
