Parish Council News Headlines

  • COUN. MRS KATH READY

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.

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 site is owned by Nottinghamshire County Council and they have appointed agents to carry out the planning process for them.

  • CARNIVAL DAY DANCE

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.

  • NEW PLAY AREA

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.

  • GRANGE HALL CIVIL CEREMONIES LICENCE

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.

  • REFURBISHMENT FOR THE GRANGE

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.

  • COUNCIL MEETINGS INVITES

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

 

RUSHCLIFFE BOROUGH COUNCIL would welcome input from local organisers of dates of events to be included in their Rushcliffe Reports Publication. Entries are welcome via http://www.rushcliffe.gov.uk/yourevents

A brief history of Radcliffe-on-Trent

Early history - The red cliffs along the river gave Radcliffe-on-Trent its name. The first specific information about the village comes from the Domesday Book of 1086, some twenty years after the Norman Conquest. This records two manors and fisheries, but there is no mention of a church or mills. Lamcote, Radcliffe’s neighbouring hamlet, had three manors. Eventually it would be absorbed and administered by Radcliffe, despite being in the ecclesiastical parish of Holme Pierrepont. In medieval times the main landowners were the Deyncourt, Basily, Grey and Strelly families.
