It is regretted to announce the death of Coun. Mrs Kath
Ready, the longest serving member on the parish council.
Elected to the council in 1963, Coun. Mrs Ready had served
continuously since that time and during that period had earned
great respect from fellow members and the public at large.
Affectionately known by hundreds of residents as ‘Our Kath’ she
served for a short while on Rushcliffe Borough Council in the
early 1980’s.
She
has been closely connected to many organisations in Radcliffe-
on-Trent and was secretary of the village Drama Group in 1938
and from 1957 to the present was an ever-present figure in the
group. She was President, a fitting honour to mark the 70 years
service to the group. She had been treasurer of the local
Conservative Group for over 40 years. She had a long connection
with the Geoffrey Dole Trust funds for elderly residents in the
village and for 12 years worked in the village Cancer shop.
In
1994 she was presented with a Civic Award for her work in
Radcliffe-on-Trent and in 2003 also received recognition from
the Notts Association of Local Councils for her long service to
the parish council.
A Thanksgiving service for the life of Mrs Ready takes place
today (Tuesday May 6, 2008) at the Parish Church of St Mary’s at
12.30pm.
Little used
garden tractor with grass collector is on sale currently by the
parish council and is in excellent condition. For more

A planning
application has been received by Rushcliffe Borough Council
seeking permission for residential development with related open
space and infrastructure of 2.9 hectares of land North East of
Lees Barn Road. The application is in outline only and therefore
no further information is yet available. The site is owned by
Nottinghamshire County Council and they have appointed agents to
carry out the planning process for them.

The Parish Council are organising a dance as a finale to the
Radcliffe on Trent Carnival on Saturday July 12, 2008.
The
well-known village group Rocket 88 will be appearing on stage
for this event which will start at 7.30pm and run through to
11.00pm. The Carnival itself will as usual be held in the grounds
of Grange Hall.
A new
£35,000
play area on Wharf Lane was officially opened on February
15, 2008.
The
new facility, which has been part lottery funded, adds to the
existing facilities on Wharf Lane and is aimed to encourage
youngsters to make more use of the site.
The
Parish Council put
£10,000 towards the scheme and worked hard to secure the funding
from the Lottery through Rushcliffe Borough Council.
Wharf Lane itself already had some play equipment as well as the
skate park - recognised as one of the best in the East Midlands
- and a football pitch.
A Civil Ceremonies Licence for Grange Hall has been obtained
which makes the building now
fully licensed for
Civil Ceremonies – such as weddings and naming ceremonies – and bookings are now being
taken for future events of that kind. For further information
contact Yvonne at the Council office.
A scheme is being considered by the Parish Council to upgrade The Grange. The building is
still used extensively by local organisations and it is some
years since any major refurbishment work was carried out on it.
It is likely the project will be spread over 5 years and
currently the Council are studying various reports they have
commissioned to say what it is felt is needed.
All meetings of the Parish Council and its Committees are
open to members of the public and there are agenda items on each
allowing them to take part.
A number
of residents have attended recent meetings of the Council and
this has been welcomed. Notices of the meetings are posted on
the village notice boards and on this web-site under Meetings.
Information can of course also be obtained from the Council
office where the email address is
clerk@rotpc.com

All

foyer at Grange Hall for their own use from time to time.
The cabinet has been provided by the Radcliffe Twinning
Association and is available free to use for village
organisations. Ask at the Council office for available dates.
A permanent
display of old pictures of Radcliffe — as well as some modern
ones — is on display in the Trent Room of
Grange Hall.
