In 2017, Bassetlaw petitioned, marched, and campaigned against what became an unstoppable decision to close the Childrenโs ward at nighttime and weekends.

๐ข Last week, it was announced that mayors across England will, for the first time, receive a share of the income tax raised in their areas.

I have been contacted by several residents about reports online that the operator of the ice cream van on Retford Market Square has been informed by Bassetlaw District Council that he may no longer trade on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays with immediate effect.
