CHAIRMANS REPORT

HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

Gedling Borough Council is going to consult with us over the 330 new houses they are going to carefully plan and brilliantly allow to fit into our village scene? Our area apparently needs 7,250 dwellings to house the new people coming into our area . The Parish Council will be considering and proposing its response. Our district councillors have already raised objections on the villages behalf. More details can be found by clicking on the relevant side Menu or reading in the Ravenshead Newsletter

FINALLY COMPLETE SUCCESS

In 1998 three people Dr Jo Longman, Mark Scotton and Linda Carter started Ravenshead Road Safety Group and now after this time has passed the final implementation of a new 30mph speed limit has seen their initial plan finished.
