New play area for Tuxford
 Bassetlaw District Council will be creating a brand new play area in Tuxford thanks to funding created by a new housing development.
Longhurst Group has recently completed the building of 86 homes on its Ashvale Place development and thanks to money generated by Section 106 funds worth £51,571.57, a new play park with five pieces of equipment will be created close to Clinton Gardens.
The play park will be aimed at children under the age of 10 and is likely to include equipment such as a multi-play structure, a small slide, cradle swing, spring toys and rockers.

Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance
Bassetlaw District Council has committed to doing more to tackle domestic abuse and provide extra support to survivors of domestic abuse.
The Council has taken the first steps to achieving Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (DAHA) Accreditation, a benchmark for how housing providers across the UK should respond to domestic abuse. As part of this process we have launched a Customer Survey to ensure we are meeting the needs of survivors experiencing domestic abuse and to enable us to develop and improve our services.

Tour
of Britain
Thank you to everyone who lined the streets to support Stage 4 of the Tour on it's way through the district and for the high energy you all brought with you!
Cllr John Shephard, Bassetlaw District Council’s Cycling Champion, said:
“We were thrilled to be part of another Tour of Britain and it was a great race that showcased Bassetlaw at its best. We had thousands of cycling enthusiasts, members of the public and schoolchildren who lined the route to cheer on the competitors. I hope that as well as enjoying the overall spectacle of this event, it may inspire some of the spectators to take up cycling or get back on a bike.”
