Hucknall group vows to fight on for the town
At a meeting in Hucknall’s Sweet Cafe, town resident Sandy Singleton stepped into the breach by becoming the acting chairman.
“I have offered myself as the sacrificial lamb because I do not want to see the group having to fold,” she said.

“So much has been done to get the group where it is. We shouldn’t let it go at all.”
In a statement published in Dispatch, Mr Williams said it was with great regret that he had stepped down.
He added that he had made this decision to accept a business opportunity that had huge potential and benefits. This would leave him with very limited time to devote to the group.

The group are hoping for a big turnout at their next open meeting to be held at Broomhill Children’s Centre, Broomhill Road, Hucknall, next Wednesday (7th May) at 6 pm.
Hucknall’s proposed inner relief road and part-pedestrianisation of High Street will again be on the agenda.
