Bingham Town Council receives the Foundation Award as part of the Local Council Award Scheme

09/08/2023

Bingham Town Council has received the Foundation Award as part of the Local Council Award Scheme. This achievement demonstrates that the Council operates lawfully, follows good practice and is training its officers and Councillors to set the foundation for continual improvement and development.

The Local Council Award Scheme is a peer assessed programme that aims to help councils reach their full potential through sharing best practice and driving up standards and celebrates the hard work and commitment shown by councillors and officers.

Bingham Town Council’s Mayor, Cllr Rowan Bird, was quoted as being “delighted to be recognised for the hard work and commitment of the officers and Councillors. The Council is constantly reviewing ways in which it can keep on improving the offerings and facilities for the local community”.

The Council welcomes input from residents, businesses, and partners on this and meetings held at the Old Court House are open to the public. The Council will continue to work on its ambitious plans for the Town, striving to keep residents informed by expanding its communication channels and consulting the public on the larger objectives including car parking and new and improved community facilities. Alongside new projects, the Council also continues to recognise its responsibilities for its assets, including play areas, Bingham cemetery and the recreational facilities in the Town, to make sure these are protected for future generations.

Rushcliffe Borough Council Chief Executive Kath Marriott added: “Congratulations to Bingham Town Council on securing the Local Council Award Scheme, highlighting the progress it is making to drive up standards and continually improve and develop.”

Archers Lake – Path Improvements August 2023 – UPDATED

09/08/202309/08/2023

The Mayor, Cllr Rowan Bird and the Deputy Mayor, Cllr Gareth Williams met with representatives of Barratt and David Wilson Homes at Archers Lake this week. The Town Council were updated on work plans earlier in the year and are delighted to hear that work to the pathway surfaces around Archers Lake and work to install additional paths will start on 07 August 2023. Although there will inevitably be disruption to the area whilst work takes place, the improvements will be of great benefit to residents. The Town Council will continue to work positively with Barratt and David Wilson Homes as the site continues to evolve.

An update on the work from Barratt and David Wilson Homes is below:

Barratt and David Wilson Homes are pleased to confirm that works to improve the footways to the Archers Lake open space area will commence on Monday 7th August and will have a duration of approximately 6-7 weeks. The works will include;

  1. Resurfacing of the perimeter pathway with a bound gravel material.
  2. Construction of incidental paths as marked on the map below, which serve Parsons Hill and wider areas of the open space with bound gravel material.

Works of this nature will cause disruption to the enjoyment of this area whilst the works take place and we do apologise for this. However, where possible this will be kept to a minimum whilst ensuring the safety of the general public and our contractors during this time. Therefore, general public access around the Lake will be restricted whilst the works take place. Alternative access around localised footpath closures will be made available if safe to do so. Please be aware these routes will be over the existing grass surface and uneven in parts.

Following completion of the path improvement works, Barratt and David Wilson Homes will then progress with the landscaping improvements to the area during the next planting season ( November 23 – March 24).
