Tina, Jane, and Yvonne are arranging a free regular meetup in the village. Titled ‘Cosy Coffee Time’, the meetup will take place every Wednesday afternoon at the Methodist Hall. This is a lovely idea and we’d be very happy to see it continue and grow. Good luck to Tina, Jane, and Yvonne.

Apologies for being quiet. I fell off one of our cracked and broken pavements and have cracked my elbow. It’s difficult to use a phone, tablet or a laptop when you’re one-handed. I’m still in a sling but I’ve been shown how to talk and have my words typed up by machine. Marvellous. I hear…

Question: Feb 11th
Here’s a funny one that needs some thought and some clarification from those who understand these things. A couple of days ago a few of us met up with some friends who live on Tollerton Park. During the conversation they told us that the current RBC councillor for Tollerton (Debbie Mason) has told them they…

Pub: Feb 3rd
At this morning’s coffee session we discussed the forthcoming Open Mic night at the pub (The Air Hostess). This sounds like a really great initiative. A couple of us are going to toddle along to listen (my musical ability is limited to putting the needle on the record), it will be really interesting to see/hear…

The parish council Yesterday, five of us met for coffee and cake* and – inevitably – to discuss village goings-on. In summary, there seems to be a certain amount of anger directed at the parish council. One of our members said the whole lot should be sacked and made legally accountable for their actions/inactions thus…

Three of us and visiting relatives went for a walk over Christmas just before the cold spell set in. We walked up Little Lane which is a delightful little walk. When we got back home one of the walkers got my Ordnance Survey map of the area out. He pointed out that Little Lane (a…

Vote? Jan 14th
Polling cards arrived yesterday. If you’re a registered voter in Tollerton you would probably have received yours by now. The point of the vote is to say either ‘yay’ or ‘nay’ to the Neighbourhood Plan for Tollerton and the vote will be on Thursday 13th February. Here’s a thought about this referendum, which was emailed…

Question: Jan 9th
While helping to clear up some flood damage yesterday, the following question was heard: “What does the parish council say about flooding in the neighbourhood plan they published recently?” We thought this was a very good question so we downloaded a copy of the neighbourhood plan the parish council put together and published four months…

Flooded again! Our collective heart goes out to the poor souls who live on the airport side of the village; the flooding this morning is extreme; water is washing into homes once again. Isn’t it about time the parish council got Rushcliffe and Nottinghamshire councils to do something about this too-frequently-occurring problem? How many times…

I did the village New Year’s Day Walk and survived! Despite the groggy weather (and one or two participants having groggy heads), I allowed myself to be talked into taking part in the annual Tollerton New Year’s Day Walk. The event was well-attended, very good-humoured and, despite nearly losing a half-welly down by the airfield…
