The Parish Council wants to encourage local people to participate in the democratic process. We believe this is enhanced through attending the monthly meetings, and engaging with this website which will publish details of meetings and key issues arising, including the agenda and minutes found in The Documents section of the menu. There are also links to and from the local village facebook site.
– What does your Parish Council do? In much of its work the Council acts as a representative body for the residents of the parish, mainly liaising with Notts County Council on matters such as highway maintenance including public rights of way. Similarly with Bassetlaw District Council on matters such as planning and street cleansing. It is the point of contact on general community matters, and with other local bodies including the police.
The Council utilises HEDS, local notice boards and its dedicated website to keep in touch and share local information. (for more details see menu item Meet The Councillors above)
Do You Have Anything to Report? Is it a County Council matter, or one to address to the District Council? Use the menu to access the Useful Links Page to contact them.
HEDS CHOIR is returning to practise for its Annual Christmas Concert at The Sun Inn on 18th December. See The HEDS Choir Page on the menu for details.
How do you like your HEDS? The digital version is now available on this website. Find it on Digital HEDS above.
November 2025 Update
Bassetlaw District Council will be introducing a new kerbside Glass Recycling Collection Service from 30th March 2026.
Bins will be left outside properties and residents are advised to keep them with their other bins until the first collections begin from 30th March 2026. Residents can choose to start putting glass in their new 180 litre bins as soon as they are delivered. For comparison, the Black Bins are smaller than your Green and Blue Bins which are 240 litre. Collections will begin from 30th March 2026 and will take place every six weeks. More information on delivery days for each area will be made available in the new year. However, you can also continue to recycle glass at our existing Recycling Points across Bassetlaw up to this date.
From the agenda:
Bassetlaw District Councillor Steven Pashley attended the meeting and gave an update on a number of Enforcement Cases. Cllr Pashley continues to work with EPC in ensuring that the Planning Department addresses outstanding issues relating to Enforcement and Compliance. Cllr Pashley shared a Press Release concerning the progress being made by BDC in cutting carbon emissions. “The work of our Climate Change team has not only reduced harmful CO2 emissions but has also helped small businesses reduce costs and helped 117 homeowners lower their energy bills whilst making their properties more comfortable to live in.”
County Councillor Robertson reported on the following: National Rehab Centre – supporting those with acute trauma, redesigning how trauma is dealt with. NCC has made efficiencies within The Pension Fund, and addressed issues relating to Rufford Mill ford. There are to be changes in the use of County Hall following the changes in local governance. He continues to promote traffic management scheme, supporting a number of local villages who wish to see a reduction in speed limits and funding has been secured for road improvements including in Everton where there are also discussions on a Pedestrian Crossing on A631 and new white lines at A631 junctions; Match My Funding scheme offers support to business and community projects which remote “Community Well-being and Social Issues”; planned “Village Walk” with Chair and others to identify local issues where he can give support.

Dog owners/walkers are asked to be aware of the countryside rules; especially keeping dogs on leads where there is livestock nearby.
War Memorial re-dedication

Where you see something which you think is a police matter (e.g. Trespass and Damage Caused by Motorists/Motorcyclists), please telephone 101 and report the matter.
The Parish Council is seeking to form a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in the village, and is calling uon those volunteers who want to be part of the scheme to contact the Clerk to express an interest.
Village Clean-up
The PC receive a small annual grant from BDC for litter clearing. The Council have in recent years asked a contractor to do a litter pick on the verges and pavements , the worst lengths of our main routes in and out of Everton. If you have concerns about litter problems in the Parish please report these to BDC directly or the Clerk.
