Rushcliffe Borough Council has reluctantly decided to cancel the market due to 40mph wind speeds forecast on BBC weather and the health and safety risk this may pose for items being blown around. Many of the market traders had already indicated they would not be attending due to the winds and below freezing temperatures.

Urban Design Consultants URBED Ltd have been commissioned by Rushcliffe Borough Council, in partnership with Bingham Town Council and the Bingham Growth Board, to develop a strategic masterplan to help guide the town’s growth over the next 10 years. They look forward to discussing the emerging Town Centre Vision Masterplan and proposed strategy with members of the Bingham community and local residents.

They will be at Bingham Library on Saturday the 10th of March from 11am until 4pm. The emerging work will be displayed on visually engaging boards and they will collect written feedback using small postcards. The feedback will inform the design progress. Posters like the image below, that include full details of the consultation on the 10^th, are being printed and distributed across Bingham.

After the public event, the presentation boards will be shared online on the URBED website http://urbed.coop/projects/bingham-town-centre-vision-masterplan# for a further week (until the 18th of March) to offer the possibility to send further feedback. The boards will also be displayed until the 18th of March at the Bingham Town Council offices, for people who wish to see the boards in person. It will be still possible to leave feedback on postcards or to email URBED at .

Across Nottinghamshire, there has been 34 fatal RTC’s this year alone which is an increase for 2016. Sadly, one of these fatalities occurred within the Bingham area earlier in the year. As it is that time of year where everyone is out enjoying themselves, either for their work’s Christmas party or socialising with friends, as a fire service, we want to make people think twice about ‘I’ll just have one alcoholic drink’ before jumping behind the wheel. This will include placing  a crashed vehicle on site with members of the crew being on hand to answer questions/hand out information.
