Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh
It is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Prince Philip Duke of Edinburgh.  Southwell Town Council, on behalf of the people of Southwell, acknowledges with gratitude and affection the lifetime of service given to our country by the longest serving British consort.

There is an online book of condolence for the public to pay their respects, please visit www.royal.uk

You can also ring Nottinghamshire County Council on 0300 8005050 and dictate a message to be added or write to NCC Freepost with your message and it will be added on your behalf.

Following advice from the Royal household and Cabinet Office there is a request for people not to gather or lay flowers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

King Street Road Closure
Regular Saturday road closure only from now on. King Street is open every day except Saturdays. The purpose of the closure is to assist with social distancing requirements. Access for residents and deliveries only.

Trim your overhanging trees & shrubs!
At STC, we’re keen on the concept of rewilding but our officers keep receiving complaints that people are letting their trees, hedges and shrubs overhang pathways and roads. This can make life tricky for pedestrians, particularly for people in wheelchairs or with pushchairs. If your garden has run away with you, please get those secateurs and hedge trimmers out and keep the thoroughfares clear. Many thanks.
