It’s nice to see the small hut that’s been erected at the west end of the southern Right of Way just outside the airfield. It will be a convenient place to store the flood notices/flood signs, road closed signs and the flood bollards. But wouldn’t it be better if someone in power just sorted out…

There’s an interesting conversation being relayed around the parish. A certain RBC councillor (I’ll spare his blushes by not naming him) said he didn’t believe anything was buried at the former RAF Tollerton because they didn’t have Caterpillars didn’t exist then. When we all stopped laughing at this incredible viewpoint, one of the residents of…

Is it corruption when the consultation document for a significant planning development for 4,400 dwellings was written by a bunch of consultants for the proposed developer? Well, we said, a couple of weeks ago, that the SPD was of such poor quality we couldn’t believe a professional planning officer wrote such an egregious mess. It…

It seems our Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) councillor, you know, the one who is charged with representing the parishioners of Tollerton, has developed an unwelcome trait: failing to respond to emails and ignoring the concerns of her parishioners. In the pub the other night I heard the words and phrases ‘incompetent’, ‘out of her depth’,…

After the ‘consultation’ to discuss the Supplementary Planning Document (SPD), it would seem certain officers at Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) are keen to star in our own version of the Netflix documentary Toxic Town – and in the High Court attempting to defend their indefensible lack of action. During the consultation I heard one very…

It’s time to stand up and applaud Tollerton parish council (TPC). Instead of rolling over in the face of some seriously unfriendly and boorish actions from officers of Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC), the parish council are digging in and preparing for a fight. The egregious supplementary planning document (SPD) which RBC have inflicted on the…

I’m thrilled to be able to tell you that a fortnight after saying this website might have to close due to a lack of contributors, 3 parish volunteers have stepped into the breach. We’ll be back as soon as folk are trained in which buttons to push.

As you may have probably heard, my dear friend Caroline passed away at the beginning of this month. She was the idea, the driving force, and the contributor behind this website which she saw as a ‘village pump’. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to pick up Caroline’s contributions here, though I am able to…

The strangeness surrounding the future of Tollerton Airfield continues. The massive house-building corporation, Vistry, who seem to have trouble finding their arse and differentiating it from their elbow, continue to slip and slide their way through what should be a straightforward navigation. Not content with having fencing erected over land that doesn’t actually belong to…

We’ve been told this morning that the wonderful Tollerton Pets will be closing later this year. Jo, Izzy, and Jo’s husband Rich have been the front face of serving and delivering pet food goods and services to their patrons for more than a handful of years. Like practically every other pet owner, we’ve appreciated and…
