 Training lifted to new heights in Harworth
This week, two of Bassetlaw’s councillors learned first-hand what it takes to scale a wind turbine as part of the launch of Certex UK’s new Training Platform.
Leader of the Council, Cllr James Naish and Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Cllr Jo White helped to officially open the facility in Harworth, which has received recognition from the Global Wind Organisation for its high standards of training and safety.

Bassetlaw District Council’s budget for the next financial year has been agreed by Councillors at a meeting of full Council last week.
Despite facing significant pressures to deliver vital service with reduced resources, the council will spend around £20.7million on a wide range of public services.
Since 2010, Bassetlaw's grants from the Government have been reduced, resulting in a reduction of 58% in funding; And since 2013, the council has also identified estimated savings of £8.5 million across its services.
This has forced the council to make difficult decisions, including raising its share of the council tax bill by 2.99% for the coming year from 1st April 2023. For Band D properties, this will see an increase of £5.64, or approx. 11p per week. However, around 50% of properties in Bassetlaw are in Band A and they will see an increase of approx. £3.76
spread over the course of the next 12 months, the equivalent of 7p per week.

 The UK Government has introduced a requirement for voters to show photo ID when voting at a polling station at some elections. This new requirement will apply for the first time in England at the local elections on Thursday 4 May 2023.
Which forms of ID can I use to vote?
You may already have a form of photo ID that is acceptable. You can use any of the following:
- Passport
- Driving licence (including provisional license)
- Blue badge
- Certain concessionary travel cards
- Identity card with PASS mark (Proof of Age Standards Scheme)
- Biometric Immigration document
- Defence identity card
- Certain national identity cards
For more information on which forms of photo ID will be accepted, visit the Electoral Commission Website or call their helpline on 0800 328 0280.
No ID? - Apply for free Voter ID by 25th April
If you don’t already have an accepted form of photo ID, or you’re not sure whether your photo ID still looks like you, you can apply for a free voter ID document, known as a Voter Authority Certificate. You can apply for this online or alternatively, you can complete a paper application form and send this to the elections team at Bassetlaw District Council.
If you need any help with applying for a Voter Authority Certificate or want to request an application form, contact Bassetlaw District Council’s elections team on 01909 533 252.
