Christmas cards, extra glass bottles, real Christmas trees – the countdown to Christmas has offi cially begun and Broxtowe Borough Council’s badger mascot Brock is helping, by promoting ten top tips for local residents to help to waste less and recycling more over the festive period.

At Christmas an extra 3 million tonnes of waste will be generated, which is enough to fi ll 120 million wheeled bins. Th e Council is urging everyone to follow Brock’s top ten tips:

1. Starting to receive lots of Christmas cards? Remember envelopes are recyclable, so pop them into your green-lidded bin and the cards in the New Year. Or, why not be creative and create gift tags for next year.2. If everyone recycled 1 more glass bottle over the holidays it will stop nearly 4,000 cars worth of CO2 getting into the atmosphere. Please use the Council’s kerbside glass collection schemer check out the website for your collection detailswww.broxtowe.gov.uk/recycling3. Did you know that the wrapping paper we use in the UK each year is equivalent to the weight of 124 London Eye’s? Use the green-lidded bin (not the foil type).4. Invest in a compost bin and recycle all Christmas dinner vegetable peelings. For more information visit www.broxtowe.gov.uk/recycling for further details.5. Use a bag for life when shopping to reduce the waste pile.6. If everyone recycled 1 more plastic bottle over this period in the UK it would stop 400 cars worth of CO2 entering our atmosphere.7. If you’re buying a real tree for Christmas this year don’t forget to recycle it. Use the garden scheme if a member or take to the nearest household waste and recycling site.8. Don’t forget to recycle your metal food and drink cans plus those sweet/biscuits tins. In six weeks they could be brand new cans!9. Presents and parties mean lots of packaging so make sure you feed that green-lidded bin.10. Making a New Year’s resolution? Why not make one for 2015 to be the year you recycle more, reduce your waste pile and re-use where you can.For further information, please contact Broxtowe Borough Council’s recycling section on 0115 917 7777 or visit the website at www.broxtowe.gov.uk

Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs- Relaxed Performance

Relaxed performances are specifi cally designed and adapted for customers with a wide range of disabilities and those on the autistic spectrum. Th ey have a less formal, more supportive atmosphere in order to reduce anxiety levels. Th e performance may also be more suitable for customers with very young children. Just a few of the fantastic comments from this year’s Relaxed Performance of Peter Pan; ’Th ank you for making our children feel welcome, safe and special’ ’I liked the lights being left on, I had a really happy day’ ’I was able to have fun with my son and looking around at how the kids were able to jump up and down and have fun without anyone complaining was absolutely brilliant’ Relaxed performances provide an opportunity for customers who may fi nd it diffi cult to come and see a show to experience the joy of live theatre. Th e relaxed performance is still the same show but there are small changes to the sound levels, lighting and no pyrotechnics or strobe lighting are used. Th e auditorium doors will be left open and customers, if they wish, are allowed to move around during the performance. Th e Dress Circle Foyer will be made into a quiet space for the duration of the show, whereby if customers need to leave the auditorium for any reason they can go to this space and relax before deciding whether to go back in for the rest of the show. For this performance there will also be an increased number of wheelchair spaces available. Th is will be given on a fi rst come fi rst served basis. Please note this performance will also be signed. Tickets for this performance only will be £11. A Visual Story to accompany the show will be available to download closer to the performance date. For further information, to arrange a familiarisation visit, any specifi c queries or to book tickets for this performance please contact Caroline Pope on 0115 9895627 or [email protected]: 7 Jan 2015Starts at:13:30Cost: £11 with essential carers going freeTicket: Please contact Caroline Pope on 0115 989 5627 to purchase tickets or for any other enquiries.Location:Th eatre Royal ,Th eatre Square Nottingham,NG1 5ND

HALL PARK AWARDED LOCAL NATURE RESERVE STATUS A NEW LOCAL NATURE RESERVE will be designated in Eastwood, aft er it was unanimously agreed Broxtowe Borough Council’s Cabinet on 26th November 2014. Th e Council has agreed to declare Hall Park, on Mansfi eld Road at Eastwood, as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) following discussions with Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust. Th e site lies on an important wildlife corridor and has wetland habitats associated with the Nether Green and Beauvale Brooks, as well as grass-land and woodland features which make it an important site for wildlife, as well as the people who enjoy a range of sports and outdoor activities on the site. Th e Council has a target of declaring one new Local Nature Reserve each year and this will be the 14th to be awarded the status in the Borough.Portfolio Holder for Environment, Councillor Greg Marshall said: “Th e Council is delighted to add to its existing Local Nature Reserves, which provide many benefi ts to local people including quality of life, health and well-being.I am incredibly proud of the Council’s commitment to protecting and enhancing the naturalenvironment for future generations to come by declaring sites like this which provide opportunities for education, enjoyment and recreation, help to attract visitors and pre-serve links with the local community’s past.” A management plan has been prepared by Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to consid-er ways of improving the site for wildlife without impacting on the many sports and recreational activities which currently take place. Local Nature Reserves are places with wildlife or geological features that are of special interest locally, which give people opportunities to study and learn about them or simply enjoy and have contact with nature. For more information, please contact Broxtowe Borough Council on 0115 917 3634, email [email protected] or visit www.broxtowe.gov.uk/naturereserves

Become Debt Free in 2015 British credit card holders owe an average of £2,000 on their plastic.To clear a debt of £2,000 on a card with an interest rate of 17% will take two years assuming a monthly repayment of £100.To clear that £2,000 with a monthly payment of a more aff ordable £30 (at 17%) will take 17 YEARS.But people are turning to other ways of borrowing, including payday lenders, friends, family, store cards and other loans for cars - even day-to-day living costs.According to one survey, average household debt now stands at around £13,000. To clear a debt of £13,000 at a modest 6% interest with a monthly repayment of £100 will also take around 17 years to clear. Th ere are, however, plenty of simple ways to make signifi cant savings on your regular spending that could clear your debt in less than a year. One of the golden rules of fi nancial planning is to clear your most expensive debts fi rst, in other words your credit cards. OK, credit cards off er a convenient way to pay for goods and services but if you can’t clear the balance every month, consider a low-cost loan as an alternative. Do the sums: a credit card debt (APR 16.8%) of £2,500 over fi ve years will cost £1,212 in interest. A loan at 7.8% will cost £527. A saving of £685.

More ways to save money

Don’t buy designer labelsCelebrities are given expensive clothes to wear. You’re not. Th ankfully, millions of people have woken up to this and buy copycat fashions from the likes of Asos, and various other outlets. If you’re still tempt-ed, face up to the fact that you may only wear the outfi t once. Can you justify paying hundreds of pounds for a name? And can you honestly say you can tell the diff erence at a distance between a £600 designer bag and a £9.99 one from the market?


Sell your clutter on eBayTake this quick test: You’re at home. Open a cupboard. Look inside. If it’s full of clothes you haven’t worn, or ‘good ideas at the time’ you haven’t used, for, let’s say, three years - you don’t need them. So why not sell them to someone else who does? For fans of the understatement: Ebay is quite well-known and popular now. Th e great thing is you really can fl og any old garbage - for a commission. Tip: you may want to buy a few items fi rst to build up your rating as a respectable eBayer before you start selling.

Cancel Holiday Insurance - (for now)If your annual holiday insurance policy is about to expire and you don’t have a holiday booked, DON’T renew the policy. You’re handing your money over to cover an eventuality that won’t happen You wouldn’t have car insurance if you didn’t own a car. Some people probably do, Simply restart the cover again the next time you book a trip.

Save money on NHS Perscription chargesOne of the best things about being ill, and let’s face it there aren’t many, is that NHS prescriptions cost £8.05 per item. Th is is amazing value unless you need, say, four prescriptions a month. Four x £8.05 suddenly equals £32.20 or £386.40 a year. But one of the best things about being that ill is that you can cap the amount you pay using Prescription Prepayment Certifi cates (PPCs). You pay a fi xed fee every three or 12 months and it covers all your prescriptions during the period you’ve paid for.

Th e current prescription charge is £8.05 (£16.10 per pair of elastic hosiery).A three monthly PPC is £29.10. Th is saves you money if you need four or more items in three months. A 12-month certifi cate is £104.00 and saves money if 13 or more items are needed in 12 months.PPCs are available by 10 monthly direct debit instalment payments. Th e prescription prepayment certifi cates allow anyone to obtain all theprescriptions they need for £2 per week.

Message from Cllr. John McGrathfrom Stapleford.

Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good Summer and are looking forward to a nice Christmas and New Year. Here are one or two things that have been going off through the Summer. Ray, Richard McCrea and myself think that we have fi nally sorted out some of the parking problems in Stapleford. Consultation papers have gone out to a number of residents to move the parking bays outside the bank on Warren Ave and other hotspots in the town. Th ere is a plan to paint the zebra crossings and sort out a number of yellow lines. For all those that have received papers please return them as soon as possible. Don't forget it has taken hundreds of telephone calls and emails to get this far!Ilkeston Road Recreation Ground is the next area to be refurbished with play areas and footpaths, to bring it into line with the other parks in Stapleford, which many local councillors and Stapleford Community Group have been involved with. Th e planters in the centre of Stapleford are going to be dug out and replanted with something more appropriate. Volunteers required - please contact myself and I will pass your name on. Th ere is hope to develop the centre of Stapleford around the police station and the Maycliff e Hall area of the town. Aldi have put in plans for a supermarket in the Pinfold Lane area. Th ere are also plans to build houses on the site of Moults yard. Any people who wish to comment on developments and any other planning issues should

look on both the Borough and Town Council websites - look for a notice of planning on a lamp post near thedevelopment, or telephone the Borough Council’s Planning Offi ce, tell them you would like to speak to them regarding the development (either for or against,) and also inform your local Councillor that you would like them to speak for you before the Planning Committee. Remember Stapleford and Bramcote have nine Borough Councillors covering the area. As some of you are aware we had this with Hickings Lane, which has now been resolved.HS2 will now become a political pawn between Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. I still believe is the best site but people will still have their own views. It is good to see that Broxtowe's unemployment has gone down, thanks to the tram, the widening of the A453 and many other projects around the Broxtowe area. Lets hope we stop falling out over the tram and hope it will be a success in the future. Th e people who have suff ered the most are the businesses in and around the route of the tram. I know people of all political parties are fi ghting to get them compensation which they deserve. Congratulations to Stapleford Council for a marvellous Remembrance parade, thank you to all those who attended. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

YoursCllr John McGrath 2 Park StreetStaplefordNottingham

We usually attract hundreds of local people and many family pets. It is one of the few events that all of the family can enjoy together. And there is always a great atmosphere. Th e people in the Toton/Beeston/Long Eaton/Sandiacre, Stapleford, Nottingham and Derby area now attend as a matter of course. Aft er all what else can you do on New Years day?Th e race is sponsored by Long Eaton Plant Hire and all of the prizes are donated by local business. All of the money raised will be used to benefi t older people.”

Saving Money Tips - The times to get deals

Best time to buy electronicsBuying a TVYou can normally fi nd a great TV deal in June when new models are being launchedHead to the January sales for some of the best bargains of the year on consumer technology products, like TVs and DVD players.New TVs are launched in June, so older models should begin to drop in price at the start of summer. Digital camera manufacturers typically refresh their product ranges at the end of spring or autumn. As a result, retailers tend to sell off end of line cameras at discounted prices to make way for new models.You are likely to fi nd good promotions and discounts on stationery, printers and ink in July and August, as children and students prepare for the new academic year and shops compete for their business. Th e start of the new academic year in September also sees retailers off ering cut-price deals on laptops, mobile phones and computer soft ware.

Best time to buy home appliancesDishwasherFebruary is the month to get your hands on cheap end of line dishwashersHit the shops between January to March to snap up cheap end of line white goods. Th is is also a good time to look for small kitchen appliances, such as kettles and toasters.September is a good time of the year to get deals on budget kitchen gadgets, because retailers try to tempt students returning to university. Th ere are oft en great deals on these items around Christmas too.Th e Easter Bank Holiday weekend is traditionally the time we turn our attention to DIY jobs around the home. DIY stores, such as B&Q, Homebase and Screwfi x, oft en discount DIY products around this time.Retailers are usually keen to clear out bulky garden items from theirwarehouses just before winter, so this is the time to grab some great bargains on garden furniture.


Best time to buy a car

New CarsHead to showrooms at the end of each quarter if you’re in the market for a new carIf you want to buy a new car, head to showrooms at the end of each quarter (March, June, September and December). Th is is when salespeople are most under pressure to meet their targets. If they are struggling to meet their goals, you may be able to haggle to get a better deal.Th e number of used cars on sale tends to go up in March and September, as people trade in their old cars and buy new models when new registration plates are issued, so used car buyers can haggle harder.

Th e summer is a great time to buy an SUV, as demand for four-wheel-drive vehicles usually peaks during autumn and winter when the weather is at its worst.However, the winter months are the best time to buy a sports car, as sales are slower and dealers are oft en keen to offl oad that year’s models to make room for revised versions arriving early in the New Year.

Book Review by Clare Lyons

Rachael‛s Holiday by Marian KeyesTh is was a fi rst for me on two counts – my fi rst book by Marian Keyes and my fi rst e-book. Th e narrator is a drug addict in recovery, going through a range of physical and emotional changes as the book develops. In the fi rst few chapters it becomes clear that their version of events may not be wholly reliable – and that their perception of their addiction and other relationships is also fl awed. Th e book moves between Rachel’s current life in the clinic, with a wide variety of characters and sitautions (not all entirely believable) and her refl ections on the couple of years leading up to this. In addition to her own memories, family and friends give their thoughts and feelings during some of the therapy sessions. Th e result is an honest and in-teresting exploration of addiction and recovery, with a couple of sex scenes and some humour thrown in. Th e characters are well developed and the story is very readable and well-paced. I wouldn’t rush to read more of Keyes as I suspect they are all on a theme, having said that the quality of the writing is good and the gentle treatment of harsh subjects is beautifully craft ed. Th is is a ‘Walsh Family Novel’, each of the fi ve sisters have their own novel with Th e Mystery of Mercy Close (about Helen) being the last in the series.

Children‛s ChoiceThe Big Hearted Book by Nicholas AllanTh is book came to my attention as it was being sold in support of the International Children’s Heart Foundation, and fi nding age appropriate ways to discuss diffi cult issues is always helpful. It’s a lovely story about Babette and Bill, who spend all their time together until Babette becomes ill and has to go to hospital – it has a happy ending and is a lovely, simple story about friendship, health, hospitals and hearts. Th e illustrations aren’t especially inspiring but the layout and pace are excellent. If you like Nicholas Allan, you may enjoy his more hilarious off erings including the more seasonal Father Christmas Needs a Wee.

Grapevine Money Saving Tips

Many people drink smoothies as a healthy shortcut to their fi ve-a-day portions of fruit and vegetables, but there's nothing healthy about the price of these drinks. Buying a smoothie maker or jug blender and blending your own could save you a signifi cant sum if you're a regular smoothie drinker.

*Look out for fruit at the supermakets at knock down prices, ideal for smothies and save money too.


HIGHEST HONOURS

FOUR local people were honoured at a special ceremony at the Town Hall, Beeston to install Honorary Freemen to the Borough of Broxtowe. Broxtowe Borough Council admitted Jessie Clarke, Ron Faulks, Patrick Hamilton and Barry Th orley as Honorary Freemen of the Borough at the ceremony, which was attended by Councillors, Freeman and Alderman and friends and family. Leader of the Council, Councillor Milan Radulovic said: “Th ese people have all served their communities unstintingly over many years and have given their time freely, way above the call of duty. Each is more than worthy of the honour for the outstanding contributions they have made to the Borough of Broxtowe and its residents.” Th e recipients this time come from very varied backgrounds and have all contributed in very diff erent ways. Th ey range from local fundraiser Jessie Clarke who has raised over £400,000 for Cancer Research UK over the years and volunteer Patrick Hamilton whose service to the Borough Council and its residents has impacted the whole of the community. Barry Th orley has dedicated his time to local charities in Broxtowe for the past 40 years and Ron Faulks has tirelessly championed local heritage and culture. Broxtowe Borough Council recognises the outstanding contributions of local people every four years by admitting them as Honorary Freemen or Aldermen of the Borough – the two highest honours that this Council can bestow. Nominations were received by Councillors who have used their local knowledge to identify those most deserving for the award. New web pages have been created to highlight the work of the latest award winners and information about all these, the Freeman and Alderman award and the others who have received the honour since 1979 can be found at www.broxtowe.gov.uk For more information, please contact Broxtowe Borough Council on 0115 917 3210 or email [email protected]

Long Eaton Operatic Society’s Youth Group Proudly Presents - Bugsy Malone

A popular, pint-sized, pin-striped classic leaps off the silver screen and onto the Duchess Th eatre stage in Bugsy Malone, a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the gangster fi lms of the 1920s. Based on the hit 1976 fi lm starring Jodi Foster and featuring an appealing and swinging score and libretto by Paul Williams, Bugsy Malone is good, clean, hilarious fun! Two gangs of children, in a fi ctitious city comprised completely of children, are in a 1920s rivalry of Al Capone-style standards. Dandy Dan’s gang has the up-per hand since getting their hands on the “splurge” gun - a weapon that shoots an avalanche of sprayed foam! Th is puts Fat Sam and his bumbling buff oons in real trouble! Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust, not-so-willingly, into the gangster limelight, when he becomes the last chance Fat Sam’s gang has of surviving. All Bugsy really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey, but that just isn’t going to come true for our hero.

Bugsy Malone is a fantastic choice for our youth group as it is a master class in musical comedy. Just imagine how delightful it is when it’s brought to life by a group of extremely talented young people! Th e show takes place from Th ursday 19th to Saturday 21st February 2015, starting at 7.30pm with a matinee performance on Saturday at 2.30pm. Tickets are priced £7 and £6 available now from 07864 033663, Ticketsource (www.duchess-theatre.com) or directly from the Duchess Th eatre at their regular Saturday coff ee mornings.
