Alerts (Home Bottom)

The Food Standards Agency (FSA) is advising anyone who has a peanut allergy to avoid eating any foods that contain, or may contain, mustard, mustard seeds, mustard powder or mustard flour because of potential contamination with peanuts.

These products are sold under several different brand names at several different retail stores.

The mustard ingredients can be found in food such as dips, sauces, salads and pre-packed sandwiches.

Further information, including a regularly updated list of affected products, can be found here:

Urgent allergy advice remains as Food Standards Agency updates on investigation into mustard ingredients contaminated with peanuts | Food Standards Agency

Investigations are currently ongoing to determine the root cause of the contamination, and any products found to be affected are being recalled.

For now, it remains very important that anyone with a peanut allergy avoids consuming products containing mustard as an ingredient, until the FSA are satisfied that all of the affected products have been identified and recalled.

Parents and carers of children who have a peanut allergy should take care to check the labels of food they buy and, if eating out, or getting a takeaway, ask the restaurant or cafe about foods that might contain mustard.

This ALERT first appeared on the “NOTTS ALERTS” webpage on 30th September you can read it for yourself by visiting “Nottinghamshire Alerts” from our main menu on the home page.

During July 2024 the Team have undertaken 2 Speedwatch sessions, 1 on Sutton Lane, 1 on Mattersey Road. We recorded 34 vehicles speeding at 35 mph or more and noted one such driver at 60 mph on Sutton Lane. All speeding vehicles were reported to the Police who are empowered to take further action.

We have now stood 61 Speedwatch sessions since March 2023, recorded 10,346 vehicles travelling through our zones of which 831 were exceeding 35 mph. We have recorded a number of vehicles that repeatedly exceed the limit (35 mph) 75 vehicles , 3 drivers recording 5 incidents, 1 driver 4 incidents and 7 drivers 3 incidents. We believe that the police will be following up on the repeat offenders.

Expressing the number of speeding vehicles against the number of vehicles moving through each zone we have identified two hotspots, Mattersey Road where 14% of vehicles exceed 35 mph and Sutton Lane 10% of vehicles exceed 35mph, the percentages for Town Street and Station Road are 1.5% and 1.0% respectively.

We were advised that the Police would be conducting their own road side enforcement on Sutton’s roads and we elected to stand down our operations from mid month so as not to queer their pitch. We hope to be given some idea of how successful that operation has been.

The results of the Speedwatch’s undertaken to date are shown in the attached result table and graphically in the histogram. The histogram plots the number of speeding occurences, in each 3 mph band, against location. The 3 mph bandwidth chosen to facilitate analysis.

Barnaby Homes report that another break in took place on their Sutton Lane Development site. The images that were taken (below) were recorded at 22.20 hrs Monday 8th July. The images are of individual(s) on the site, one appears to be disconnecting, what we take to be the electrical supply to the security system flood lights. Another image taken after the event shows the damage to patio doors on enforced entry.

If you saw any movement, perhaps your CCTV captured movement on the development site at that time, or observed vehicles moving around in the vicinity, activity on through roads etc. would you please let the developer know on email: barnabyhomes@gmail.com or use the contact form on this website and we will make contact on your behalf.

During June 2024 the Team have undertaken 4 Speedwatch sessions, 2 on Sutton Lane, 1 on Mattersey Road and 1 on Town Street. We recorded 77 vehicles speeding at 35 mph or more and noted one such driver at 68 mph on Sutton Lane. The latter having entered our zone at 68 mph heading south was likely speeding as it made its way through the village. All speeding vehicles were reported to the Police who are empowered to take further action.

We have now stood 59 Speedwatch sessions since March 2023, recorded 10,031 vehicles travelling through our zones of which 795 were exceeding 35 mph. We have recorded a number of vehicles that repeatedly exceed the limit (35 mph), 2 drivers recording 5 incidents, 2 drivers 4 incidents and 6 drivers 3 incidents.

During the month we have exchanged correspondence with the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner and Inspector Crawford, District Commander for Bassetlaw and Inspector Allen of the Nottinghamshire Police Force representing Nottinghamshire Safety Camera Partnership. All have made positive responses to the issues we have raised with them. In particular we are looking to receive feedback from the local Force based on the Speedwatch log sheets that we submit (identifying those speeding vehicles). We hope to be advised of the action that the Force is taking, contacting, where appropriate, drivers of those speeding vehicles by letter or visit.

Inspector Allen and Inspector Crawford are to consider how the Safety Camera Parnership, the latter are involved in the deployment of the Mobile Speed Camera Vans, might increase their coverage in Sutton. We might expect to see them on Sutton Lane and now also Mattersey Road, the two hot spots identified from Speedwatch sessions. Ideally in the long term the Speedwatch Team are of the opinion that fixed camera systems will be necessary to fix the problem.

The results of the Speedwatch’s undertaken to date are shown in the attached result table and graphically in the histogram. The histogram plots the number of speeding occurences, in each 3 mph band, against location. The 3 mph bandwidth chosen to facilitate analysis.

During the month of May the Speedwatch Team (Speedwatch) have undertaken 5 sessions. Two sessions each on Mattersey Road and Sutton Lane and one on Town Street.

Speedwatch registered 85 vehicles driving at speeds in excess of 35 mph and all have been reported to Nottinghamshire Police. The cumulative results from March 2023 are shown below and the percentage of speeding vehicles entering the respective Speedwatch zones are now: Mattersey Road, 14%, Sutton Lane, 10%, Town Street 2% and Station Road 1%.

Whilst Town Street and Station Road experience some speeding Speedwatch believe that based on a subjective assessment, feedback from residents living on those roads, Speedwatch are under reporting, as it is mainly out of hours, early mornings and late evenings when we do not stand Speedwatch.

Of note during the month has been the dangerous driving, the excessive speeds of the two vehicles, entering the village on Mattersey Road at speeds of 74 mph and 94 mph as reported in the post below. These two vehicles in particular and Speedwatch findings to date have been reported to Nottinghamshire Police Inspectorate and the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner (PCC) for Nottinghamshire. The response from the PCC in particular, will be reported on this website, in due course.
