The main arterial roads into St Ann's, Beacon Hill Rise & St Ann's Well Road are free from snow & ice so all through traffic is moving swiftly, while Ransom Road remains icy and hazardous.

The Brewer's Road estate in Mapperley & Stonebridge Park Estate in St Ann's are badly affected as many of the roads have not been gritted. The Robin Hood Chase shopping precinct is also a problem area as grit was only placed around the Chase community centre and not near any of the shop.

Many of the side roads in the area are hazardous due to black ice and freezing snow. Southampton Street and Bartholomew's Road are difficult to manoeuvre because of their steepness and icy condition.

St Ann's bus service 42 from the city centre continues to be diverted away from the Brewster's estate in Mapperley, although the service continues to run along Abbotsford Drive & part of Hunger hill Road.

At 7:40pm on Friday evening heavy snow made a number of steep side roads impossible to manoeuvre in the centre of the St Ann's estate, with Southampton Street, Bartholomew's Road, Ransom Road and Brewster's Road badly affected. In the interests of safety Police cordoned off two of the steepest roads in the area, Bartholomew's Road – known locally as Donkey Hill, and Southampton Street.

Traffic continued to move slowly along St Ann's Well Road in moderate snowfall to its junction with Woodborough Road.

ALAN Judge was the hero for ten-man Notts County against Sheffield United.

The Magpies looked set to lose to the Blades in League One at Meadow Lane until their star midfielder rescued a point with a late goal.

The visitors scored after just 67 seconds through defender Harry Maguire and Notts were then reduced to ten men midway through the first half when Francois Zoko was sent off.

But the Magpies fought back to draw 1-1, with Judge scoring a great header in front of the Kop on 80 minutes.

It was a big surprise when the pitch passed a morning inspection, after overnight snow and freezing temperatures – and then Magpies' boss Keith Curle surprised everyone with his team.

In a brave move, he switched to a three-man defence of Dean Leacock, who returned from a hamstring injury, Gary Liddle and Alan Sheehan, in front of goalkeeper Bartosz Bialkowski.

Zoko was also given a central attacking role for the first time this season, partnering leading-scorer Yoann Arquin.

Judge started in a position just behind those two and Jamal Campbell-Ryce, captain Neal Bishop, Andre Boucaud and Jeff Hughes were named in midfield.

Notts made a nightmare start, conceding a goal just over a minute into the game.

They were undone from a corner as Nick Blackman swung the ball into the penalty area and Maguire powered a header into the net from close range.

It almost got worse for them on three minutes from another flag kick as Danny Higginbotham headed the ball at goal and Bialkowski parried it over the bar.

Having survived that scare, the Magpies twice threatened to equalise.

Sheehan curled a free-kick into the box on nine minutes that Leacock headed at goal, but straight at United goalkeeper George Long, and two minutes later Hughes hit a shot just over the crossbar from the edge of the penalty area.

They went close again on 16 minutes, Arquin crossing the ball into the box and Hughes directing a header at goal that was deflected over the bar.

Boucaud then fired over the bar from inside the box on 21 minutes and three minutes later at the opposite end midfielder Jamie Murphy raced into penalty area for the visitors and drove a shot at goal that Leacock blocked.

Then came a big moment – Zoko was sent off on 25 minutes, after arguing with ref Mark Haywood over his decision that he had committed a foul on Tony McMahon on the edge of the penalty area.

Despite trailing 1-0 and being down to ten men, Notts continued to put the Blades under pressure.

Judge swung a cross into the box from the right wing that Long punched clear under pressure from Hughes on 30 minutes and Sheehan struck a long-range shot high and wide on 34 minutes.

United striker Dave Kitson then volleyed narrowly wide a minute later – and Judge did exactly the same for Notts on 38 minutes, after seizing onto a flick on by Arquin.

It proved the Magpies' last chance of the first half – and it took them until 66 minutes to threaten again, Judge whipping a cross into the penalty area from the left wing that Arquin met with a header, but the ball hit a defender and deflected wide.

Judge continued to try and drive Notts forward and he swung another dangerous cross into the box for Arquin on 76 minutes, but Long held confidently under pressure from the Frenchman.

The Irishman finally got his reward on 80 minutes with a goal that made it 1-1, steering a brilliant header past Long from Sheehan's inswinging free-kick into the penalty area.

NOTTS: Bialkowski, Liddle, Leacock, Sheehan, Campbell-Ryce, Bishop, Boucaud, J Hughes, Judge, Zoko (sent off, 25), Arquin (Bencherif, 88). Subs: Spiess, Kelly, Smith, Mahon, Labadie, Nangle.

SHEFF UNITED:  Long, Westlake, Higginbotham, Maguire, McMahon, Murphy, Doyle, McDonald, Flynn, Blackman, Kitson (Ironside, 61). Subs: Coyne, Cresswell, McFadzean, Whitehouse, Kennedy, De Girolamo.

ALEX McLeish today said he was proud of Nottingham Forest's performance against Derby – and pledged to turn the tide in the Reds' favour in future East Midlands derbies.

The Forest manager felt his side deserved more than the point they gained from a 1-1 draw at Pride Park on Saturday, following an encouraging display that saw them finish the stronger of the two sides in the final stages.

And he leapt to the defence of Simon Gillett, who was robbed of possession by Connor Sammon in the run-up to the equalising goal from Jamie Ward, which cancelled out Chris Cohen's first half strike.

"Forest have not had the best run of form against Derby in recent years, but I am here to change that," said McLeish. "And, asides from conceding a daft goal, I was really proud of their performance.

"It is unlike Gilly to lose the ball, of all people, you would not expect it to be him. But we did warn them about the threat of Connor Sammon and his chasing of lost causes. He turned that into a cause that proved to be worthwhile for Derby.

"We started a little bit slowly. They got out the traps and pressed us. But we settled into it and showed some composure.

"I was disappointed with our use of the ball at times. When we got the ball, we just hit it forward sometimes. I told them that, when you are going to hit longer balls, you have to choose your moment. You have to be intelligent. You have to pick out a pass or play a ball into space for a striker to chase.

"It is about mixing it up. But we showed that composure a little more after we had settled into things.

"I am pleased that we got something from the game, but disappointed that it was not three points."

McLeish had particular praise for Henri Lansbury – and for referee Mark Clattenburg, who successfully kept the lid on what has been a powder keg of a fixture in recent years.

"Henri really grew into the game. I was really pleased with his performance. He started slowly, but that is to do with the fact that he missed pre-season and is still playing catch up, in terms of his sharpness," said McLeish.

"He got stronger towards the end of the game. He was closing down and making vital tackles. Henri can be pleased with his performance.

"There is a lack of sharpness in some players. Lewis is another case in point. We have to up their training a little bit to work on that. That is something we have been addressing over the last few weeks.

"I thought the referee had a terrific game, he showed all his experience. He didn't bow down to all the noise from the home fans. That can be intimidating for referees."

POLICE are warning people to be on their guard after cash was stolen from an elderly woman by a man who cleared snow from her drive.
Two men called at the house in Banks Avenue, in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, at about 4pm yesterday.

After clearing the drive one of the men asked for payment. He then asked to use the toilet and then for a drink of water. When the woman returned with the drink the man left hurriedly.

She then noticed cash had been stolen from her purse.

Investigating officer DC Stuart Temple, of Mansfield North CID, said: "This is an example of callous offenders exploiting the vulnerability of an elderly victim.

"We would like to hear from anyone who may also have received a visit from these two individuals or who saw them in the area of Banks Avenue on Saturday afternoon.

"Householders should also be aware that some offenders are always looking for opportunities to commit crime, and the snowy conditions have given these two men a pretext to offer a service which could disguise their real intention – to steal cash."

Police are keen to hear from anyone who saw the men or who may also have received a visit from them.

The man who went into the house is white, of slim build, with dark hair and a moustache. He was wearing grey clothing.

The second man, who remained outside, is also white, of medium build and around 5ft 9ins tall. He had short mousey-coloured hair and is believed to be aged between 20 and 23-years-old. He also wore grey clothing.

A white pick-up, possibly a Nissan Navarro style vehicle, was seen nearby and police believe this may also be linked to the men.

Anyone who has any information about this incident or who may have received a visit from these two men should telephone Notts Police on 101 and quote incident number 000520-19012013 or ask to speak to Mansfield North CID.

Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

AT only 20 months old, little blonde-haired Lola toddles across the floor by her grandmother's feet.

Carol Thomas longs to bend down and pick her up, but with her lungs operating at just 20 per cent of their capacity, it is not possible.

It is just one of the many things that the 52-year-old from Rivergreen, Clifton, is unable to do because of her condition.

She longs to take holidays with her family again and work once more but at the moment a simple cold or chest infection can leave her in hospital.

After suffering a series of chest illnesses when she was 45, she was diagnosed with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, a protein deficiency that can attack the healthy tissue of the lungs.

The genetic disease has weakened her lungs and while the condition will not be cured by new lungs, it is believed it would take as long again for them to deteriorate.

Mrs Thomas is one of four people waiting for a lung transplant in Notts.

But with only about 35 per cent of Notts residents on the organ donor register, the chances of finding a match are reduced, and her family are urging people to sign up.

Her son Caine Thomas, 31, who also lives in Clifton, said: "It's been hard seeing mum not well. I was quite scared when we found out how ill she was, but mum kept it away from everyone. We knew she was ill but she never admitted how bad it was."

His partner Lisa Whitehead added: "I would never have thought about being an organ donor before, but people need to realise how much it could help someone."

They have three children; Bayleigh, 10, Harrison, five, and Lola, who is just 20 months. And Mrs Thomas is also grandmother to her son Clifford's four-year old daughter, Matilda.

Bayleigh, who has written a letter about how new lungs for her grandmother would transform their lives (opposite), said: "I'd really like to see more people go on the organ donor list and build donations."

Her five-year-old brother Harrison, who attends Dovecote Primary School in Clifton with Bayleigh, added: "I want to see mama better, she'd be able to chase me up the road then. I'd like to go to Disneyland if mama got better."

Mrs Thomas said she would be happy if she could go and see them in school plays, or pick up awards, which at the moment is very difficult for her.

"We're just a normal family," she said. "And if it can happen to us, it can happen to anyone. We're a big, big family, we're a very close-knit family, it's had a big impact on all of them.

"It just rips their hearts out when they see me like this, but we carry on like normal."

Fortunately none of her children or grand-children are thought to have the condition as Mrs Thomas said both parents must be carriers, and her husband Gary is not.

She has been on the transplant list since August last year and has been called twice for possible transplants.

But the first time she was not well enough to go through the operation and the second time, after travelling to Newcastle for the procedure, they found her antibodies did not match with the donor's, so her body may have rejected the lungs.

A VEHICLE repair garage in Sneinton could be turned into a community centre and mosque.

City council officers will recommend plans for the building in Sneinton Dale be approved at a planning committee meeting on Wednesday.

If it all gets the go ahead it will become the new home for a charitable group called Dar-us-Salaam, which has been running for about 10 years and is based in a semi-detached Victorian house in Sneinton that has been converted.

The organisation works closely with the Muslim community in the area, but Aurangzeb Khan, who submitted the application, said: "The development will be mutually beneficial for all sectors of the community, helping to create better links between members of differing faiths – and building on the already established Sneinton community spirit.

"The development will provide excellent education for all who attend.""

The new building would have three levels – a lower floor, ground and first floor.

On the ground level there would be an entry hall, reception and information area, as well as a prayer hall, which would hold up to 210 people.

The application states that it is expected that the attendance at Friday prayers would be about 100. There would be a separate funeral room.

A second hall would accommodate 70 people, and there are four classrooms proposed.

Mr Khan added: "The site was identified for its central community location and high residential population. Developing the land would help to regenerate a largely forgotten area."

Council officers have described the site as being in a "very poor condition". The garage there would be demolished under the plans.

There would be 14 parking spaces at the back of the site but Mr Khan said they would encourage people to walk or use public transport.

Nottingham City Council has received six letters of objection to the plans.

Sneinton Tenants' and Residents' Association has expressed concerns that the development would lead to an increase in traffic and parking problems as well as a loss of light for adjacent properties.

They have also argued the design is not "in keeping" with the surroundings and that another community facility might diminish the viability of existing centres.

The council has also received one letter in support of the application.

The Post was unable to contact anyone at the existing garage at the site.

TEMPERATURES could drop as low as -9C overnight on Tuesday as the county faces freezing conditions all week.

People were expected to be waking up to fresh snowfall today, with the Met Office predicting between two and five centimetres overnight in the city, and up to eight to ten centimetres in rural areas.

And while that might be it for the snow for the week, the temperatures are set to stay below freezing until Thursday.

Forecaster Helen Chivers said: "It's going to stay cold and there will be some very sharp frosts in the coming evenings, and during the day the temperature will struggle to go above zero degrees Celsius.

"There's a chance of snow on Tuesday, but the main problem will be ice, so there might be some travel disruption."

The Met Office has issued a yellow warning for snow and ice for the county.

Meanwhile, gritters have been on the roads over the weekend and are prepared for the week's weather. Andy Warrington, service director for highways at Notts County Council, said the teams were ready for the cold snap to continue. He added: "We usually have teams gritting overnight so the roads are treated for the morning rush hour, but we have been running two shifts, one during the day and one during the night to keep the roads as clear as possible."

The county has 23 gritters which travel 100 miles each and distribute 200 tons.

Mr Warrington added: "We have had some positive feedback from people and have managed to keep the major routes open and Nottingham City Transport reported their services were still running.

"We have 16,000 tonnes of grit, which should see us through the rest of the cold weather."

Trent Barton buses were running yesterday, East Midlands Trains ran a full timetable and East Midlands Airport was open.

However, Newstead Abbey was closed as were football pitches at Southglade Leisure Centre, Bestwood; Phoenix Adventure Playground next to Broxtowe Country Park; Ridge Adventure Playground, Bestwood; Hyson Green Market; and St Ann's North Children's Centre, Well's Road.
