MANY THANKS !

To all the volunteers who took part in the Annual Village Litter Pick

on Saturday 26th September

Following co-operation with Barton in Fabis, Thrumpton, KIngston on Soar & Ratcliffe on Soar Parish Councils / Meetings, Gotham Parish Council has responded to this consultation. Our response can be viewed by ‘clicking’ on General News on the left menu.

The Parish Council, as of July 28th, has vacancies for two Councillors. Anyone interested, please contact the Parish Clerk.

The Gotham Help line has worked well since the lockdown began and we would like to thank all those volunteers that have offered to help, we know some of you have not been contacted for help, but this is because it seems that neighbours have jumped in all over the village to help their neighbours. We are not getting many calls on the Help Line currently, so to give the phone handlers a bit more time, we are cutting the hours down from 9am – 8pm to 9am to 4pm. The service is still there, so please use it if you need it.
Some people who have seen hardship due to the virus have taken advantage of our Covid grants we are offering from monies we received from Notts CC , but there are still some available. If you need help, contact the Help Line or email to GothamHelp@outlook.com

Gotham Parish Council has been informed that Planning Application approval has been granted by Rushcliffe Borough Council, concerning the Waterloo Housing Group development of 15 ‘Affordable’ houses, situated on land adjacent to 110 Nottingham road in the nearest corner of the field.  

This Development has been positively supported by the G.P.C. because, as a Rural Exception scheme, local qualifying people will always have first refusal.
