MP secures £18 million extra funding for A614 MARK Spencer, the Member of Parliament for Sherwood, has secured £18 million of additional funding for the A614 corridor. Discussing his campaign to get improvements to the A614, MP Mark Spencer said; “Following several weeks of meetings, lobbying and applying pressure about the A614, I’m incredibly pleased to say that the Transport Secretary Chris Grayling announced in October that Nottinghamshire County Council will receive £18 million of new funding under the Major Road Network scheme, for the County Council to spend on safety improvements along the A614 Corridor.”
“This is a hugely positive step forward for the campaign, but work doesn’t stop here – we need to make sure that we apply as much pressure as possible on both the County Council and the Government to make sure they deliver.” “I’ll continue to do this, but the more names I get on my petition for these safety improvements, the louder the argument becomes. So do please get your friends, family or anyone you know who uses the A614 to spread the word and sign the petition.” If you would like to keep up to date with Mark’s A614 campaign, sign his petition or to receive his fortnightly newsletter, please visit: https://www.markspencer.org.uk/
Traditional family farm shop opens in Ravenshead
Farming has been in the Voce family for generations. They’ve been farming in Ravenshead since the 1980s when the family farming business relocated there from Annesley. They certainly know their onions, or I should say their beef, all of the beef available in the new shop is home reared and the bakery goods are home made too.
The new venture is the brainchild of the next generation of Voce’s and an obvious next step for enterprising Grandson Craig. The family are absolutely delighted by the reception the shop has received. Craig said, “We didn’t expect it to take off quite as quickly as it has, we’re obviously thrilled to bits”. With a good range of produce, from the freshest fruit and vegetables to the dairy and fresh Deli counters; not forgetting the mouth-watering homemade pies on offer - you certainly won’t be disappointed. It really is a traditional old style family butcher, where you can pick up everything you need to compliment your family roast. The store is located on Main Road in Ravenshead,
a convenient spot for the residents of Ravenshead and perfect for passers-by. We don’t think you’ll be disappointed if you plan a shopping trip there, and as an added bonus don’t forget to take the 5% off voucher, on page 18, with you! It’s valid on instore purchases and Christmas orders, until the 30th November 2018.
