On Sunday 11 September 2022, the Mayor read the proclamation for King Charles III after a prayer from Rev Jon Wright. The Deputy Lieutenant of Nottingham, Judith Swann was also in attendance and after the national anthem, the Church Bells rang for the King.

The proclamation read:

PROCLAIMING THE NEW SOVEREIGN
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM

Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to call to His Mercy our late Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth the Second of Blessed and Glorious Memory, by whose Decease the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland is solely and rightfully come to The Prince Charles Philip Arthur George: We, therefore, the Lords Spiritual and Temporal of this Realm and Members of the House of Commons, together with other members of Her late Majesty’s Privy Council and representatives of the Realms and Territories, Aldermen and Citizens of London, and others, do now hereby with one voice and Consent of Tongue and Heart publish and proclaim that The Prince Charles Philip Arthur George is now, by the Death of our late Sovereign of Happy Memory, become our only lawful and rightful Liege Lord Charles the Third, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories, King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, to whom we do acknowledge all Faith and Obedience with humble Affection; beseeching God by whom Kings and Queens do reign to bless His Majesty with long and happy Years to reign over us.

Given at St. James’s Palace this tenth day of September in the year of Our Lord twenty thousand and twenty-two.

GOD SAVE THE KING

Rushcliffe Borough Council:

Bin collections across Rushcliffe will start from 6am on Wednesday August 10, Thursday August 11 and Friday August 12, instead of their usual 7am start times to reduce Rushcliffe Borough Council’s waste team’s exposure to the forecast extreme weather conditions.

Residents in the Borough should therefore ensure their bins scheduled for collection on either day are placed on the edge of their properties before 6am on these days to ensure they are collected.

It follows an Amber weather warning for this week which is set to last over the weekend. It could see temperatures reach 34 degrees Celsius across the region.

The earlier starts will help the teams to get more bins emptied in the morning before the temperatures peak later in the day and is in line with Health and Safety Executive (HSE) advice for outdoor working.

Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Cabinet Portfolio Holder for Environment and Safety Cllr Rob Inglis said: “Our waste teams work tirelessly week in week out and their welfare is of paramount importance. With the Amber weather warning in place this week, we’re keen to minimise their time spent working outdoors at the height of the temperatures.

“We thank residents for ensuring their bin is out earlier than normal on these three days and are aware many will be unaffected by these changes having routinely placed their bin out for collection the night before.

“For any questions please email ”
