Featured Content

Two young doctors have bought their first house together after choosing their perfect plot at the beautiful ‘Lace Fields’ development here in Ruddington.

Hospital doctor Siddhee and research scientist James say they love the countryside setting of Lace Fields after moving from a flat they rented in Beeston.

It’s a ‘Welcome Home’ for Kelly

Featured Content

Home is where the heart, as the saying goes. And that’s certainly the case for William Davis Homes sales consultant Kelly Rudkin, who has returned to the village where she was born. Kelly is the friendly face that customers see when they visit the beautiful Lace Fields development on the edge of Ruddington, the Nottinghamshire village where generations of her family have lived. “Many years ago, my dad was the village greengrocer, plus I went to school here, so it’s wonderful to come back to a place which means such…

Flawforth Lane Road Closure Cancelled

Graham Wright

A three week closure of Flawforth Lane next month in connection with Linden Homes’ ‘Blacksmith’s Green’ development has been called off. This had been requested from August 9th to August 27th to enable the completion of the junction into the new estate – also involving widening of the footpath and the installation of a combined sewer. However, given this is such a busy route in and out of the village, Linden Homes has now decided this work can be carried out using multi-way temporary traffic lights, rather than needing a road closure…
