Action-packed police family fun days attract thousands of visitors
Thousands of people enjoyed a bumper selection of activities and entertainment as Nottinghamshire Police's free family fun days proved to be another big hit.
Families flocked to three interactive fun-packed events this year, the last of which attracted hundreds of people to the Bracebridge Recreation Ground in Worksop on Saturday (12 September).
Excited visitors were able to see expertly-trained police dogs in action as they chased after and took down 'criminals' as well as watching demonstrations of their exceptional detection and obedience skills.
Youngsters got the chance to try on real police uniform, sit behind the wheel of a police car and activate the sirens and sit on a specialist police quad bike.
They were also able to meet and learn more about the work of many of our expert police units, including our rural and off-road team, drones unit, youth outreach team, crime scene investigation (CSI), police cadets, cyber/fraud, roads policing unit, crime prevention team, recruitment and safeguarding.
Questions raised over safety of huge illegal waste dump in village
By: Joe Locker, LDRS
Questions have been raised over the safety of a 50,000-tonne illegal waste dump uncovered in a Nottinghamshire village last year – but a council has insisted there are “no public health concerns”.
Nottinghamshire County Council first uncovered the dump in Ranskill in December 2025.
A Sky News investigation later found there was a strong match for the pesticide thanite, a chemical has been banned in the UK for decades due to the danger posed to life.
A strong match for the chemical carbon tetrachloride, a banned compound that can cause liver and kidney damage and one that is linked to cancer, was also detected in the air.
Councillor Andrew McCallum (Ref), who represents Ranskill on Bassetlaw District Council, has questioned why the Environment Agency has been seemingly “inactive” at the site ever since.
During a meeting on Thursday (September 17) he raised safety concerns, noting that “the side gate was open, allowing anyone access, possibly even more illegal waste tipping”.
The Environment Agency has told the Local Democracy Reporting Service investigations of this scale take time due to the amount of evidence needed for any possible court case.
Nottinghamshire County Council has also put up a Stop Notice and Planning Enforcement notice to prevent further waste from being dumped at the site.
East Mids Mayor welcomes ‘devolution revolution’ as PM offers more regional control
EMCCA welcomes ‘devolution revolution’ as Government pledges more powers for mayors
East Midlands Mayor Claire Ward has welcomed the Government’s plans to devolve more powers and funding to regional mayors, saying the changes could help drive economic growth, housing delivery and job creation across the East Midlands.
The Government has announced proposals to give mayors greater control over areas including housing, education, skills, transport and welfare, alongside plans to allow strategic authorities to retain some business rates income and receive a share of income tax revenues in future.
Ms Ward said the reforms mark a significant step towards local decision-making, arguing that greater fiscal powers would enable regions to invest more effectively in long-term growth and infrastructure projects. She welcomed recent visits to the East Midlands by the Prime Minister, who highlighted skills, apprenticeships and town centre regeneration during stops in Derby and Ilkeston.
‘Stagecoach Strollers’ win praise for dedication to charity fund-raising
Two members of the team at Stagecoach East Midlands, have won praise for their remarkable efforts in charity fund-raising.
Pair have raised over £35,000 for charities, hiked 100km in 24 hours and this year have raised £2,703 for Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance
Dave McMullan and Kim Whitehead – collectively known as the Stagecoach Strollers – have completed the North Yorkshire Ultra, an endurance challenge that required them to walk from 100km from Scarborough to Whitby and back again in 24 hours.
They raised £2,703 for the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance, after completing the challenge – preparation for which required them both to complete approximately 400km in training, and travel to complete hill training.
The challenge is just the latest to be completed by Dave and Kim. Over a number of years, including an annual cricket match, the pair have raised over £35,000 for local charities. Last year, they raised £2,278 for the Stroke Association after overcoming the Lake District Ultra Challenge.
EAST MIDLANDS COMBINED COUNTY AUTHORITY: Leaders want East Midlands to replicate London’s ‘anti-car’ mentality
By: Joseph Connolly, LDRS
Regional bosses want public transport in the East Midlands to mirror London – where bikes, buses and trains surpass the car as a preferred mode of travel.
Leaders were discussing the future of transport in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire at a meeting of the East Midlands Combined Authority’s (EMCCA) Transport and Digital Connectivity Committee on Thursday, September 17.
EMCCA took over public transport responsibility from Nottingham City, Derby City, Nottinghamshire County and Derbyshire County councils in January this year – and on Thursday’s meeting, presented a 10-year plan on the future of transport in the region.
It sets out how the authority will work with bus operators in each council area to “make buses the first choice for many journeys across our cities, towns and villages.”
It will involve six main priorities – making buses more reliable, making it easier to pay, making stops, vehicles and information more accessible, making buses zero-emission, improving links between bus, trams and trains, and being transparent with reporting figures.
Dangerous driver clocked 115mph with child in car
A motorist who drove at more than 115mph after dangerously overtaking an unmarked police car has been jailed.
Johnpaul Allen, who was traveling with a child in the passenger seat, narrowly avoided an oncoming car when he swerved past the police vehicle on the A60 between Worksop and Cuckney.
The 32-year-old accelerated away in the Range Rover Sport around 9.30pm on 25 May 2026.
Officers in the police car had to travel at speeds in excess of 115mph to keep up with Allen as he sped towards Warsop.
The Land Rover slowed for average speed cameras near Cuckney before again clocking speeds of up to 75mph in the 30mph zone through Warsop.
Allen carried out further dangerous overtaking maneuvers before eventually coming to a stop where he was detained by officers from the Road Crime Team.
He admitted at the roadside that his current driving licence was likely to be a thing of the past and told police straight away that he had previously been convicted of drink-driving.
Allen, of Park Hall Road, Mansfield Woodhouse, was jailed for six months and banned from holding a licence for 16 months at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday (15 September).
He pleaded guilty to dangerous driving.
New piece of public artwork installed at Sandhill Lake
As part of the ongoing improvement programme at Sandhill Lake, funded through the Community Infrastructure Levy and endorsed by local ward councillors, a new piece of public artwork has been installed to enhance the site for visitors
Created by Image Skool, the mural celebrates the area’s natural environment and has turned a previously plain fence line into a bright and colourful feature.
In addition to improving the appearance of the site, it is hoped that the installation will help deter acts of vandalism on the fencing area.
The project forms part of a wider programme of investment aimed at improving facilities and enhancing the visitor experience at Sandhill Lake

More drivers are putting Midlands roadworkers’ lives at risk to cut queues
A worrying trend of drivers ignoring roadwork closures to skip queues is putting lives at risk in the Midlands, according to new analysis from National Highways.
- 74 drivers deliberately entered closed-off roadwork areas in the Midlands between January and July this year, putting lives at risk.
- 58% of incursions recorded in the Midlands involved drivers trying to avoid queues, closures or diversions.
- Unsafe driver behaviour has led to full motorway closures and significant delays for road users.
There is growing concern across the road transport sector around incursions - the name given to incidents where a vehicle enters a closed-off section of roadworks because of the danger to roadworkers.
At 58%, the figure is above the national average of 53%.
National Highways data shows that 58% of incursions recorded in the Midlands between January and July this year involved drivers trying to avoid queues, closures or diversions.
Picture appeal following assault outside Newark cinema
Officers investigating an assault outside a cinema want to speak to these two people.
Police attended Odeon, in London Road, Newark, following reports a security guard had been attacked.
The staff member tried to move on a group of youths congregating outside the cinema when he was suddenly attacked.
Two people reportedly punched the security guard multiple times during the incident – leaving him with facial injuries as a result.
The group then walked away from the injured man, around 7.20pm on 28 August.
Worksop Leisure Centre prepares for decarbonisation work
Preparation work to make Worksop Leisure Centre more energy efficient is underway as part of Bassetlaw District Council's biggest decarbonisation project ever undertaken.
The project will include installation of air source heat pumps to heat the building and pool, alongside other energy efficiency measures such as installing solar panels, heat recovery ventilation, a draught lobby, and improved LED lighting.
These works unfortunately mean the centre will be closed for four weeks from Saturday 17th October.
Worksop and Retford Leisure centres are two of the council's biggest carbon emitting buildings, with the work being part funded using a £2.18 million grant from the Government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, which is contributing to the UK’s ambition to be net zero by 2050, with additional investment from Bassetlaw District Council.
The driver of a stolen campervan has been jailed after leading our officers on an unusual high-speed pursuit.
Daniel Bald put multiple lives at risk as he carried out a series of aggressive manoeuvres and drove on the wrong side of the road, all while the vehicle's pop-up roof bed was fully extended.
The vehicle had been partially obstructing traffic when it was spotted parked at the side of the A614 near Clumber Park shortly after 11pm on 28 July.
Unaware at that point that the vehicle had been stolen the previous day, an officer stopped to offer assistance.
Keen to avoid a conversation with police, Bald drove away at speed and was pursued.In the minutes that followed, Bald joined the A1, where he made repeated last-second evasive manoeuvres, at one point causing an HGV driver to take evasive action.
Multiple units then joined the pursuit, which ended after about 20 minutes when a tyre-deflating stinger device was deployed.
Bald, who has a previous conviction for a similar offence, later pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop, driving whilst disqualified and driving without insurance.
Appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on 17 September, Bald, of no fixed address, was jailed for 20 months.

Woman sentenced after death of child in Warsop
A woman has been jailed after the death of a child in her care.
Catherine Walker, aged 47, was the legal guardian of a nine-year-old boy who was found unresponsive in his bedroom.
Emergency services were called to the property in Warsop on the morning of 16 December 2024.
Despite the best efforts of paramedics and members of the public on the scene, the boy died later in hospital.
Officers investigating what happened immediately raised concerns about the conditions in the boy's bedroom, which lacked any of the comforts seen elsewhere in the house.
There were no blinds or curtains in the window, and an electric socket was hanging dangerously off the wall.
The bedroom, which had very little furniture and no radiator, also had no door handle and was fitted with a bathroom-style door lock on the outside.
An investigation into the child's lived experience and care was immediately commenced.
Walker, a member of staff at Nottinghamshire Police, claimed that renovations to the room had been taking place at the time of the incident.
Further investigation, however, revealed this to be untrue.
Officers also received evidence from other witnesses that showed clear mistreatment of the boy over a prolonged period of time.
Walker, of Warsop, later pleaded guilty to two counts of assault/ill-treat/neglect/abandon a child/young person to cause unnecessary suffering/injury.
Both charges related to the same child.
At her sentencing hearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Monday, Catherine Walker – also known as Kathryn – was jailed for six years.
Nottinghamshire Pension Fund reaches £8.6 billion after strong year of growth
Nottinghamshire Pension Fund has reached a value of £8.659 billion, following strong investment performance and continued work to ensure value for money for members and taxpayers.
Figures reported to the Fund’s Committee show that its value increased by £1.115 billion, or 14.8%, in the 12 months to 30 June 2026.
The Fund also saw significant growth in the latest quarter, increasing by £558 million, or 6.9%.
The latest figures follow work undertaken since 2025 to challenge investment-management costs and ensure more money remains within the Fund.
In December 2025, the Fund announced that it had passed £1 million in savings following a review and renegotiation of investment-management fees.
That work has continued during 2026, alongside a review of the Fund’s strategic asset allocation.
New family time centre in Worksop officially opens
A new, purpose-built centre offering improved facilities for some of the county’s most vulnerable young people is now officially open.
Harmony House in Worksop will help deliver safeguarding services, including offering a safe, welcoming space for children and young people cared for by the county council to have supervised, quality family time with their birth families.
The new £6 million building on Newgate Street replaces the old, nearby residential bungalows which were used for family time, but are no longer fit-for-purpose and will be demolished.
Nottinghamshire County Council Leader Councillor Mick Barton, Councillor Rory Green, Cabinet Member for Children and Families and Councillor James Walker-Gurley, Cabinet Member for Economic Development and Asset Management were among those attend an event to celebrate the opening.
The Government has asked a Nottinghamshire council to hold fire on a legal challenge over the biggest boundary shake-up in five decades while a review takes place.
Nottinghamshire County Council’s leader Mick Barton (Ref) said last week his authority has a “good case” for a potential legal challenge over government plans to re-shape and merge the area’s councils.
The government made headlines on September 7 when Angela Rayner, Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, announced an abrupt pause on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) in England.
LGR for some English local authorities has been in the pipeline since December 2024, when the government set out its plan to re-shape and merge councils to create new unitary authorities, abolishing the existing two-tier council structure seen in some areas.
It meant that by 2028, Nottinghamshire’s nine local authorities would be reduced to just two unitaries, with the government confirming on July 16 that sections of Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe would be merged with Nottingham to form one unitary and a second unitary authority would cover the rest of the county.
LGR has been shrouded with criticism since Labour first announced plans in December 2024, such as concerns that the process was being ‘rushed’ through, could have potential service and representation impacts, and was not taking into account public views on re-shaping options.Councils have even floated legal challenges in the form of judicial reviews, which involves a judge reviewing the lawfulness of a decision or action made by a public body but it can only be launched to challenge the way a decision was made, rather than the rights and wrongs of a decision.
Nottinghamshire County Council is one of them, with the leader, writing to the government in early September seeking clarification on the government’s LGR decision in what is known as a ‘Pre-Action Protocol’ letter – a procedural step within the judicial review process that aims to get more information about a decision and address any problems before considering further legal proceedings.
Cllr Barton says he has not received a response to this letter and declared in a meeting of the authority’s senior cabinet members on Tuesday (September 22) he was giving the government a deadline of September 24 to respond to it.
The meeting also heard in a separate message from the government that it had “invited” the authority not to progress with its potential legal challenge.

Bassetlaw District Council is asking residents and businesses to make sure asbestos is disposed of safely and legally, after four serious fly-tipping incidents were reported in the district over the summer.
Industrial amounts of asbestos of around 13.5 tonnes were discovered flytipped at locations in Babworth, Retford, and Barnby Moor between the end of July and the beginning of August 2026.
The council paid for private contractors to clear the asbestos as it is classed as a hazardous waste and requires specialist handling, transportation and disposal.
Since 1 April 2026, the Council’s Waste Management service has spent around £30k dealing with asbestos removal.
More information about how to remove and dispose of asbestos safely is available at the Council’s website https://www.bassetlaw.gov.uk/bins-recycling-and-waste/asbestos-waste/
Anyone who sees fly-tipping, or has information about who may be responsible, should report it straight away through the council’s website.
