Council Tax
freeze for
Mansfield
Residents in Mansfield won’t pay a penny more for District
Council services for 2013/14 after councillors agreed to
freeze Council Tax for the third consecutive year.
A
t the time of writing My
Mansfield, 41% of Councils
in England were expected
to increase their Council Tax.
Mansfield District Council has opted
to take a Council Tax freeze grant of
£59,000 from the Government to support
the tax freeze for residents.
Despite the need to plug a £2.8 million gap in
the Council’s budget caused by the continued
reduction in Government grants, on-going
reduction in income and low interest rates
from investments, we have delivered a
balanced budget for the year ahead, with
little impact on frontline services.
www.mansfield.gov.uk | March 2013
Councillors agreed to reduce allotment
fees from £50 a year to £35 from 1 April
and maintain the charge for the brown bin
Garden Waste Collection Service at £25 for
the year’s service (see page 9).
A significant budget (£509k) was earmarked
to provide an economic stimulus with a
particular focus on creating apprenticeships
to support young people into work.
Additional funding was also made available
to tackle domestic violence, provide
opportunities for sports and physical activity
and increase the number of Neighbourhood
Wardens.

ASSIST – your
new housing
needs service
A
SSIST, which stands for
Advocacy, Sustainment,
Supporting Independence
and Safeguarding Team,
is the Council’s newly developed
housing support service.
The ASSIST service will be launched
on 2 April 2013 and is being rolled
out to enhance the Council’s current
long and short-term housing support
services to enable people to lead more
independent lives. It will be a personcentred enhanced support service and
tailored to the needs of individuals to
help them maintain an independent
lifestyle at home.
The Council will continue to offer
long and short-term support services
including temporary accommodation
for people who are homeless and
a prevention advice and support
service for people at risk of becoming
homeless.
The budget also provides provision
for the Council’s four-year capital
programme, which includes the
proposed future development of
Stockwell Gate, housing sites within
the District, along with the provision of
additional burial ground.
The budget and capital programmes
are designed to stimulate, attract
and support business growth and
investment to improve the economy;
support residents to take advantage of
employment opportunities, prepare the
Council for long-term financial stability
and support residents through the
impact of Welfare Reform.
The current Lifeline service will be
central to ASSIST and we will continue
to offer 24-hour support. We are
introducing additional support such
as companionship and home help
services, which will help residents with
tasks such as attending appointments,
travel arrangements, housekeeping and
socialising.
ASSIST will engage customers with
leisure activities, health and wellbeing
programmes, hairdressing, chiropody
and meals. These activities will be
provided by our partner organisations
such as Age UK who are offering taster
sessions free of charge.
For more information about ASSIST
please contact the Housing Needs team
on 01623 463 341 or 01623 463 076.

be responsible
Owning a dog comes with responsibilities such as
keeping the dog under control, keeping the dog
healthy and safe, and cleaning up after your pet.
T
his year Mansfield District Council
is launching a campaign to remind
owners of their duties when
it comes to caring for their
pooch.
Information packs, containing posters,
window stickers and dog fouling
reporting cards will be made available
to community groups across the
District.
The Council’s Neighbourhood Wardens
and Dog Control Officer will be targeting
dog fouling hotspots and carrying out patrols
at peak times (early mornings and evenings).
Anyone caught failing to pick up after their
dog will be handed a £75 Fixed Penalty Notice,
or if it goes to court a fine of up to £1,000.
Rewarding
volunteers
Do you know someone who goes
the extra mile to help others
within the local community?
The annual Mansfield Volunteer
Awards recognise the shining
stars of Mansfield District and
nominations are now open for this
year’s event.
For further information contact
Mansfield CVS on 01623 651 177
or for an online nomination form
visit www.mansfield.gov.uk/
volunteerawards
Nominations close on 26 April and
the awards will be presented at a
ceremony on 6 June at John Fretwell
Centre, Warsop.

Don’t be in
the dog house
The Council is also planning a series of dogfriendly events, which will be held in parks
across the District, providing the opportunity to
learn more about responsible dog ownership
and keeping your dog healthy and happy.
There will be advice on micro-chipping, dog
fouling, obedience classes and the importance
of training, along with information about
exercising, nutrition, pet insurance and local
vet services available across the District.
The three events will be taking place in
Manor Park in Mansfield Woodhouse, Carr
Lane Park in Warsop and Racecourse Park in
Mansfield. Dates are still being finalised, so
look out for more information on our website
www.mansfield.gov.uk/dogcontrol
Did you
know?
Bagged dog waste
can be put in general
waste bins on streets
and parks across
the District.
Dog watch
If you witness someone failing to pick
up after their dog, please report it to us
with details of the location, approximate
time, and a description of the dog
and owner. Every report is important
because it helps the Council track
where the hotspots are and informs
where enforcement, including patrols
and cleansing, should be targeted. To
report dog fouling in the Mansfield
District call 01623 463 463 or email
[email protected]
Be a good owner
Fouling: It is an offence to let your dog
foul in a public place and not clear it up
– always carry a poop-scoop or plastic
bag so that you can clean up after your
dog. Mansfield District Council provides
over half a million free poop scoop bags
to the public every year. You can get the
bags from all veterinary practices, public
libraries, council offices, and various
information centres and shops within
the District. For a list of poop-scoop bag
outlets visit
www.mansfield.gov.uk/dogcontrol
Neutering: Neutering is the most
responsible and safest thing to do to
prevent unwanted pups being born
– pups are quite a handful and often
difficult to find homes for. Neutering
also brings health, and in some cases,
behavioural benefits to your dog. For
further information about the benefits
of neutering talk to your vet.
Identification: All dogs should be
clearly identified, wearing a collar and
tag with the name and address of their
owner on it. If a dog appears to be
straying, it may be picked up by the
Dog Control Officer and taken to local
kennels. The release fee is £73.50 from
1 April, if collected within seven days,
after this time dogs are put up for
re-homing.
Micro-chipping: If a dog is microchipped and registered on a national
database, their owners can be traced
very quickly and they can be returned
safe and sound. Many dogs in the UK
are put to sleep because their owners
cannot be traced. Mansfield District
Council offers a micro-chipping service
for £16.50 per dog. Our Dog Control
Officer is fully trained to carry out the
procedure which can be done in your
home. It includes lifetime registration to
Petlog, a personalised certificate and a
unique collar tag. For more details please
call 01623 463 189.
Control: By law you must keep your dog
under control at all times and prevent
them from being a nuisance to others.
If your dog is behaving in an unsuitable
way and not under control, it is an
offence if you do not put them on a lead
and keep them on the lead when told to
do so by an authorised officer and you
will face a penalty of £75.
It is also an offence to allow dogs to
enter children’s play areas, sports arenas
and cemeteries which are enclosed with
a boundary fence or similar. There are
currently fenced play areas and sports
facilities, including bowling greens and
tennis courts, in 33 locations across the
District where these orders now apply.
Dog barking: Every year the Council
receives many complaints from
neighbours about dog barking. It can be
very annoying and upsetting if there is
a dog constantly barking and they can
become a source of friction between
neighbours. Be aware that this can be a
problem, particularly when there is no
one at home, and you should take steps
to try and prevent your dog barking
unnecessarily. For more information visit
www.mansfield.gov.uk/noise
Protection of animals: It is an offence
to abuse or ill-treat any animal, or to
allow any unnecessary suffering to be
caused to them. It is also an offence to
be involved in any form of dog fighting.
An owner can be banned from keeping
a dog altogether if found guilty of any
of these abuses.

OPENING
SUNDAY

MARCH
What’s taller than three giraffes, has a floor area that’s bigger than an Olympic-sized swimming pool
and will be used by more passengers each year than East Midlands Airport?
T
he answer is Mansfield’s brand
new bus station which opens
its doors for business on Easter
Sunday (31 March) and takes
bus travel in the town well and truly
into the 21st century.
Situated in the heart of the town, the new
£9m station is just 180 metres (195 yards)
from the Market Place and will be used by
more than five million passengers a year.
one and is linked with a brand-new
footbridge, helping to create a transport
“hub” in the town, encouraging more
people to travel by public transport and
playing a crucial part in the regeneration
and future prosperity of the town centre.
The new building is
light, airy and safe, with
extensive use of glass.
The keys to the station were officially
handed over on 18 March. VIP guests
included pupils from King Edward Primary
School and the Queen Elizabeth Academy,
both of which contributed towards a time
capsule which has been buried beneath
the station, showing future residents of
Mansfield what life was like in the early
21st century.
£7.2m of the project has been funded by
the Government. The rest of the cost has
been covered by Nottinghamshire County
Council and Mansfield District Council
and £125,000 from the East Midlands
Development Agency’s (emda’s) Single
Programme budget.
The new station is much closer to
Mansfield’s railway station than the old
The new building is light, airy and safe,
with extensive use of glass. It is fully

enclosed and has a comfortable waiting
area with plenty of seating, toilets, a baby
changing area, shops and refreshments.
It also boasts a staffed travel information
office, electronic timetable information,
CCTV cameras linked to the town centre
system and automatic doors separating the
waiting passengers from buses.
It has a high-tech video wall for use by
local businesses and community groups
which will help provide local information
on a variety of subjects.
Bus operators using the new station will be
putting into service their very latest buses
which are modern and comfortable.
But don’t take our word for it – why not
come along and experience 21st century
bus travel in Mansfield for yourself? It’s the
future!

Mansfield is a
White Ribbon Town
Mansfield is leading the way against
domestic violence after becoming the third
authority in Nottinghamshire to be given a
special award for its work with the national
White Ribbon Campaign.
The District Council has gained a White Ribbon
Towns Award - given to Councils that can
demonstrate their commitment to the aims of the
White Ribbon Campaign.
Calling all
undergraduates
and businesses
The national White Ribbon Campaign aims to
raise awareness and understanding of men’s
violence against women and encourage whole
communities to address this issue and work
together to reduce domestic violence.
If you’re studying at university level, live in Mansfield or
Ashfield and are looking for a paid work placement to help
further your career, then we may be able to help.
T
he Mansfield and Ashfield
Aim Higher Scheme
provides placements in a
local business for eight
weeks, working on a project that
directly relates to your area of
study.
I’m really glad I took the plunge to do
it - it was a good decision.”
The paid placements take place
during the summer holidays and
give students an opportunity to put
theory into practice in a real working
environment, as well as developing
their general business skills.
Placement projects have covered a
wide range of skills and study areas
such as finance, IT, legal, marketing,
science and graphic design.
Many previous students have said that
they hadn’t appreciated the range of
good quality employment available to
them in the local area and said that
they would now consider returning to
the area when they leave university.
Scott is an IT undergraduate who took
part in this year’s scheme working
for local company For Skills Ltd. Scott
said: “Taking part in the Aim Higher
Scheme has made me much more
confident. It’s moved my personal
development forward because I
have put theory into practice and
developed skills beyond what I’d done
at university. This is something that I
wanted to do as a career choice, so
Myles Ponsonby, Director at For Skills
Ltd, said: “We have been impressed
by Scott’s capabilities. Scott has picked
things up quickly and has completed
some very complex work.”
The Aim Higher Scheme also benefits
businesses as the undergraduates
bring valuable skills and knowledge,
contributing to better business
performance and development.
The award was presented at a White Ribbon
Campaign 2012 event in February, held at the
Broadway Cinema in Nottingham.
In November 2012, the Council worked with
Mansfield Town Football Club to promote the
campaign at the One Call Stadium by including
information about domestic violence and local
services in the match programme. Volunteers also
collected donations during the match against
Luton, which was given to local domestic abuse
support organisations – Women’s Aid and NIDAS.
Mansfield Churches Together also collected
donations at church services on Sunday 25
November.
Officers from the Council and members of Notts
Women’s Aid held an information stand in the
Four Seasons Shopping Centre, Mansfield, on 28
November. Shoppers were given information on
the impact of domestic abuse, how to report it
and the local services available.
Over 500 people across Mansfield District signed
the Man Enough pledge, with more expected to
have pledged by text or online.
This highly successful scheme is
managed by the Mansfield and
Ashfield Shared Service Regeneration
Team and funded through the
European Regional Development
Fund. Any interested students or
businesses can call 01623 463 327
for an application form or more
information.

Regulatory Services; Jeremy Regan, Community Engagement
Manager; Joan Taylor, Volunteer and Trustee for White
Ribbon and Lesley Reece, Community Safety Manager.

with parkrun
mansfield
Why not join the 40-60 people who regularly take part in parkrun – a FREE, weekly, 5km, timed run
that takes place at Manor Park on Kingsley Avenue, Mansfield Woodhouse, every Saturday at 9am.
T
he runs are suitable for
everyone of all ages and
abilities, including competitive
runners wanting to use it as
part of their training, casual runners
who want a more structured and social
run, or complete beginners who want
to improve their health and physical
activity levels.
All runners must register online before their
first run and print a barcode which they
take with them every week. This is used to
record their finishing position and time.
Results are emailed after each run and
are posted on the website with historical
results and statistics, including age-graded
performances.
Every week participants chat after the
run over a coffee at Manor Sport and
Recreation Centre.
Parkrun is an international initiative, which
was introduced to Mansfield after it was
funded by Mansfield District Council,
Manor Academy and Sportmakers.
Even if you are away from the area, you can
still join other parkrun events in other areas
around the world, visit
www.parkrun.com for details.
For more information on Mansfield parkrun
visit www.parkrun.org.uk/mansfield
It is entirely organised by a group of
dedicated and willing volunteers who help
with registration, marshalling and timing.
Email [email protected] if
you’d like to help.
Volunteer
Runner
Nicola Grounds got involved in parkrun
through Sportmakers. She has volunteered
for Mansfield parkrun since it began in
September 2012 and says the volunteers are
invaluable:
Gweneth Hall, from Ravenshead, joined
Mansfield parkrun last year and has since
lost more than half a stone – as well as
feeling much healthier and happier. She
said:
“I joined parkrun because I wasn’t very good at running and
I wanted to start. Parkrun encourages people to run in a safe
environment and we have people of all abilities – those who
can run for a couple of minutes and others who can run for an
hour or more.
“I had never run in my life and I’ve never really stuck to a
sport in the past. Since joining parkrun last year, I’ve kept it up
because it gives you a focus by meeting up with people every
Saturday morning and working to continually improve your
time each week.
“There are lots of volunteering roles for people to get involved
in. Whether it’s a volunteer coordinator or event director, or you
just turn up on the day and marshal or act as the time keeper,
but we are always looking for more volunteers. Without the
volunteers, the event wouldn’t happen each week.”
“It’s a great way to get into exercise as you get a lot of
support and encouragement from others in the group. I have
encouraged my family and friends to join and some have
taken up the offer.”

Will you take up
the challenge?
Paralympic swimming stars Charlotte
Henshaw and Ollie Hynd have teamed
up with Active Mansfield to get
Mansfield District more active.
M
any of us aren’t too keen on the idea of
exercise. It might be that we’re too busy or
we simply can’t face the thought of it. But
most people aren’t getting the amount of
activity they need to stay healthy.
Building activity into your day keeps your heart healthy, reduces
your risk of serious illness and strengthens muscles and bones. It
can also be a great way of reducing your stress levels and lifting
your mood if you are feeling down.
Ollie and Charlotte are challenging everyone across Mansfield
District to become more active – whether it’s cycling to work,
learning to dance or taking up a new sport. Ollie and Charlotte
haven`t allowed their disabilities to stop them being active, so
what is stopping you?
Any sport or physical activity helps you to feel healthier and
you’ll also feel loads more confident too!
Active Mansfield are here to help you. On the opposite page are
some ideas on how you can get more active and if you need any
advice just give our Sports Development team a call on
01623 463 371 or 463 470, visit

Council Tax
About your Council
Tax for 2013 / 2014
Instead of including details about Mansfield District Council’s share of your Council Tax with your bill,
we are using the opportunity to reduce costs by including details in My Mansfield. Details on how to
pay and new instalment initiatives will be issued with your Council Tax bill.
What is Council Tax
and who pays?
Police, fire and local council services are
paid for by Council Tax and Government
grants, and in some cases, through
charges for services. Council Tax is based
on property values and, in this area, is
collected by Mansfield District Council on
behalf of all four organisations.
Council Tax payment is the responsibility
of owner-occupiers or, if rented, council
tenants, private tenants and tenants
of housing associations. Council Tax
is also due on unoccupied furnished
and unfurnished houses in certain
circumstances.
Council Tax bands
The Government’s Valuation Office Agency
(VOA) has placed all homes in one of eight
broad valuation bands. The figures for
Mansfield District Council for 2013/14 are:
14
Bands
(based on 1991 prices)

The market value range is important as this
decides which Council Tax band applies.
These ranges are fixed by the Government
and have not changed since the start of
Council Tax in 1993. In fact, the valuations

Existing occupiers may need to show
that there has been a significant change

Making an appeal does not allow you to
stop payment. If an appeal is successful,
you will be entitled to a refund of any
overpayment.
Reductions and
discounts
Council Tax Reduction Scheme
From 1 April 2013, the Government
is abolishing the national Council
Tax benefit system and Councils
are required to introduce their own
locally devised Council Tax Reduction
Schemes.
The Government has decided that
pensioners (anyone over 61 in April
2013) will be protected from any
changes. They will continue to have
their entitlement assessed on their
full Council Tax charge.
For working age customers who will
receive a discount under the new
Council Tax Reduction Scheme, the
maximum amount they will receive
has reduced from 100% to 91.5%.
Working age customers, even those
who pay nothing now, will be
required to make a payment but will
pay no more than 8.5% of their bill.
More details about the scheme are
shown on information issued with
Council Tax bills.
Single person discount
Did you know that a household with
one adult occupier is entitled to a
25% discount? Even where there are
two or more adults, you could still
get money off if all but one occupier
fits a description as follows:
 Full-time student, student
nurse or apprentice
 A severely mentally impaired
person
 Young adults still eligible
for child benefit, or
 A full-time carer looking
after someone.
This is not the full list of examples.
For more information about the
25% discount, please contact us on
01623 463 463.
Empty and exempt properties
The amount we award in discount
from Council Tax on empty
properties, second homes and
properties being structurally altered
is changing from 1 April 2013.
Instead of payment free periods,
differing levels of Council Tax will
apply. The amount to be charged
will depend on the circumstances of
why the property is empty.
More details are shown on
information issued with Council Tax
bills.
Some properties remain exempt. For
more details please contact us on
01623 463 463 or visit
www.mansfield.gov.uk
Council Tax relief for people
with disabilities
If your household includes a person
with a disability, you may be entitled
to an adjustment on your Council
Tax valuation band. This applies
where the dwelling has a room, or
extra kitchen, or extra bathroom to
help meet the needs of a disabled
person. In addition, the need
for extra space indoors to use a
wheelchair can be considered. The
relief is granted by charging Council
Tax based on the next lowest band.
Even if your household is in Band A,
you can still get a reduction.
Direct Debit – the
easy way to pay
I
f you sign up now to pay your
Council Tax by Direct Debit you
can spread the payments over
12 months, rather than ten.
Direct Debit is a simple, safe and speedy way
to pay your Council Tax automatically from
your bank or building society account.
We offer a choice of dates and instalments
for Direct Debit payments, on the 1, 5, 14,
20 or 26 of the month, including weekly and
fortnightly payments. It offers greater flexibility
than cash payments.
You can continue to pay by ten monthly
instalments from April to January if you wish,
or pay 12 monthly instalments from April to
March by paying Direct Debit on the first of the
month.
Paying by Direct Debit offers peace of mind
and convenience that payment dates will not
be missed and costs you less by reducing the
need to travel.
You can set up or change your Direct Debit

forms, by calling us on 01623 463 162.

first and subsequent instalments and then

Green Issues
Energy
efficiency
Green Deal
launched
The average threebedroom home wastes
up to £300 each year
on energy due to poor
insulation and ineffective
heating systems.
T
o help combat this, a new
Government scheme has
been launched which offers
householders long-term loans
to help make their homes more energy
efficient and cut bills.
The Green Deal allows you to make energysaving improvements to your home or
business without having to pay all the costs
up front.
Energy-saving improvements include:
 insulation – e.g. loft or cavity wall
insulation
heating
draught-proofing
 double-glazing, and
 renewable energy technologies –
e.g. solar panels or wind turbines.
18
What you need to do
Arrange for a Green Deal assessor to carry out an assessment
of your property to see what improvements you can make
and how much you could save on your energy bills.
Choose a Green Deal provider to
carry out the work. You discuss
with them what work you want
done and whether the Green Deal is
right for you. Approved Green Deal
installers, such as energy companies
or DIY chains, will advise you on
potential improvements, such as
double-glazing, insulation or new
heating systems.
Companies who offer Green Deal
assessments are required to:

Give you one day’s notice before
they can carry out the assessment,
unless you provide written consent
to a same day assessment.
 Explain cooling-off periods, if they
apply.

Tell you what products and services
they intend to provide, including
marketing of products not related
to the Green Deal.

Tell you who they work for and if
they have commercial links with
other Green Deal participants and
third parties.
 Tell you if they receive commission
from others.
If you go ahead with the improvements,
you must sign your Green Deal Plan.
This is a contract between you and the
provider stating what work will be done
and how much it will cost. The provider
will then arrange for a Green Deal
installer to do the work.
Once the work is done, you’ll pay off
the money in instalments through your
electricity bill. If you move out, the new
occupant will pick up the charge while
also benefiting from a more energyefficient property.
If householders transfer to a different
electricity provider, the loan will transfer
at the same time.
More information
For more information about the
Green Deal scheme contact:
Energy Saving Advice Service
Tel: 0300 123 1234 (Monday to
Friday, 9am to 8pm and Saturday,
10am to 2pm) Web:
www.energysavingtrust.org.uk
If you are on certain benefits, a low
income or live in an old house, you
may be eligible for extra funding to
help cover some or all of the costs
of the work. To find out if you are
eligible, speak to your Green Deal
provider.
Things to watch out for
Green Deal cashback
You may be able to claim back money
from the Government if you make
energy saving improvements to your
home under the Green Deal.
The scheme will run for a limited
period, and is available for
householders who choose to have
more work done in their properties at
the start of the scheme. Landlords are
eligible if they pay for the installation
work.

There may be a charge for
the assessment if no work
is carried out.
 All work should come with a
guarantee.

You can change electricity
supplier, but only if the new
supplier is participating in the
Green Deal scheme.
Energy audit
Our Affordable Warmth Officer can offer FREE advice
on how to keep your home warm and save money on
energy bills.
Our trained and impartial officer can conduct a home
visit to provide you with simple tips and advice that
could potentially save you hundreds of pounds a year.
He can provide advice on how to understand the
information on your energy bills, how to set your
heating efficiently, check you are on the most suitable
tariff and answer any questions you may have.
Cold homes can have a significant impact on people’s
health and can lead to serious health problems such
as heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia and depression.
One of the best ways of keeping well during the cold
months is to stay warm.
If you are interested in receiving
advice, a FREE energy audit, or more

dimension. To capture the feel of an imaginary wood, you
can expect bark-covered walkways, artificial evergreens,
lighting and sound effects and a host of other family-friendly
features in what promises to be one of our most original and
intriguing exhibitions ever.
As usual, the exhibition will feature a host of varied activities
through the school holidays.

Community Funding Schemes
Funding tips
for community
groups
Voluntary and community groups
often act as the backbone in many
neighbourhoods, providing services
and support which are vital to many.
U
nfortunately, the tough
economic times we find
ourselves in means that it’s
becoming increasingly hard
for community groups to keep their
heads above water and retain the
funding needed to survive.
This is basic information to signpost groups
to services and funding that may help.
Support
The easiest way of finding suitable funders
is by using FREE search engines, which are
databases that you can use to find grant
funders who are interested in your area of
work e.g:
 Funding Central –
www.fundingcentral.org.uk
You can get support, guidance and tips on
how to successfully apply for grants from
various websites. The main ones are:
 Directory of Social Change –
www.trustfunding.org.uk
 The Association of Charitable
Foundations – www.acf.org.uk
 Charity Commission –
www.charity-commission.gov.uk
 Focus on Funding –
www.focusonfunding.org.uk
 SEEM – www.seem.uk.net
 Charities Aid Foundation –
