PRECEPT REDUCTION

Keyworth Parish Council will cut its precept for 2010/11 by 1%.

It’s a tough decision which takes into account the circumstances that some people are in. However, we still intend to deliver and develop the services we currently provide. We can do this by continuing to provide value for money and by attracting funding from outside sources. In the current year we were awarded two grants from the Nottinghamshire County Council Safer Communities budget: £1000 for the ‘artistic’ graffiti at the skate park; and £1956 for the new security fence [plus extras] at the play area.

Want a winter warmer?

Do you fancy somewhere warm and welcoming to go when shopping in Keyworth?

Members from some of our local groups serve tea, coffee and biscuits Monday to Friday between 10.00a.m. and 12 noon in the Centenary Lounge of Keyworth's Village Hall complex on Elm Avenue. If you'd like a change of venue for your 'morning cuppa', call in for a welcome break in very comfortable surroundings and friendly company. 

• Mondays History Society
• Tuesdays Community Concern
• Wednesdays Royal British Leigion Ladies Division
• Thursdays Methodist Church/St Mary Parish Church
• Fridays Baptist Church/Community Concern

And of course, you don't need to belong to any of the groups in order to call in for their tea or coffee. Refreshments are very reasonably priced and people are always made extremely welcome. It's a great place for friends to meet in the morning rather than having to go out of the village to do this and also provides an opportunity for people to get to know others.

Keyworth is located 7 miles south east of West Bridgford, with good access to the A46. The population has remained fairly stable over recent years at around 7,500. The village possesses a full range of local facilities including a health centre, post office, Parish Council Hall, churches, nursery and primary schools. For daily requirements there are shops in the centre of the village including a general store, supermarkets, newsagent, butchers, chemists, hairdressers, bank, estate agents, public houses, restaurants, and take-aways. There are also playing fields, which offer outdoor sports facilities and a leisure centre with a swimming pool. A frequent bus service to Nottingham is also available.
