Village Bus Service and Radcliffe-on-Trent Roadworks Update

Village Bus Service Update

Many thanks to Anthony Stevenson in the village for his continued drive and pursuit of confirmation regarding updates and the ongoing Villager Bus service into the village, and please note his update and information provided below with regard to this.

Rushcliffe Villager Bus Service

Trent Barton have made some minor changes to the Rushcliffe Villager bus timetable, which are effective from Monday 3 November 2024.

The route is being changed in Bingham and Newton to better serve new housing developments.

As far as the bus times in Shelford are concerned, they appear to remain unchanged for journeys in the direction of East Bridgford and Bingham, but will run four minutes later than they currently run for journeys in the direction of Radcliffe on Trent and Nottingham.

Included below is a webpage link to the Rushcliffe Villager service page on the Trent Barton website.

Village Hall Grant News

UPDATE

 

Dear Residents,

 

Following on from our previous note regarding the successful grant application, we wanted to keep you up to date with progress.

 

All of the work planned and jointly funded by the UK Government UKSPF grant and Shelford Parish Council has now been successfully completed, and hopefully you will have seen the impact of some of this upgrade work already.

 

As well as installing free high speed internet in the hall, there has also been roofing and window repairs, replacement of the accessibility ramp at the entrance, replacement of all guttering and fascias to the hall and outbuilding, drainage and soak-away improvements, repairs to the car park surface, and repairs to the walls at the rear of the hall.

 

All trades people used in the work were from the local area, and many thanks to everyone who has been involved in the process.

 

In addition to this grant-funded work, the Parish Council are continuing with further improvements now, to replace the Village Hall front door, repair the gate and fence to the garden and carry out decorating of the main hall interior, which is planned to complete before the end of the year.

 

Please find below some before and after photos highlighting the work that has been carried out to date.

 

Thank you for everyone's patience and continued support during this work, and we hope that you can enjoy the improved facilities.

 

Best regards,

 

Shelford Parish Council

Dear Residents,

 

We are pleased to announce that following a successful grant application via the UK Government's "UK Shared Prosperity Fund" (UKSPF) scheme, significant improvement works will be shortly underway at our Village Hall. These essential upgrades will enhance the hall's functionality, safety, and accessibility for all users.

 

The work is being predominantly funded by the UK Government UKSPF grant above, and with a partial matching contribution from the Parish Council itself.

 

The scope of the ongoing work includes:

 

1. Broadband Internet Installation: We have installed high-speed broadband to provide reliable internet access for all Village Hall users. This will support a range of activities and events, from community meetings to social gatherings and local fairs.

 

2. Roofing and Window Repairs: Essential repairs to the roof and windows (in the committee room area) are being carried out, ensuring the hall remains comfortable, safe  and secure.

 

3. Accessibility Ramp Replacement: We are replacing the front entrance ramp to enhance accessibility, safety and to ensure compliance with regulations.

 

4. Replacement Guttering and Fascias: New guttering and fascias are being installed to improve water drainage and protect the building from water damage.

 

5. Drainage and Soak-Away Improvements: Upgrades to the drainage system and soak-away areas will prevent waterlogging and ensure efficient water management around the property.

 

6. Car Park Surface Repairs: The car park surface is being repaired to improve safety and accessibility for vehicles and pedestrians alike.

 

7. Wall Repairs: Repairs to the wall buttresses alongside Burden Lane where they are heavily damaged and eroded, to ensure structural safety.

 

 

We appreciate your patience and understanding while these important works are being carried out. The upgrades will significantly enhance the Village Hall's facilities, making it a better space for everyone in our community. We anticipate the work will be completed by October this year, and we will keep you informed of any developments or changes to the schedule.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

Best regards,

 

Shelford Parish Council
