Oak Tree Neighbourhood Management Team

Welcome to the website for the Oak Tree Lane Estate in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire – voted Nottinghamshire Calor Neighbourhood of the Year 2009.

This website has been put together with funding from Working Neighbourhoods Fund and is here to help you get the most out of your neighbourhood.

The estate is south east of Mansfield Town centre and comprises of nearly 1200 households – the majority of which belong to Mansfield District Council, Spirita, Places for People and Leicester Housing Association/ASRA. We have a shopping area which has a Tesco, Argos and Indigo Sun, as well as the Cuckoo Birch public house, a doctors surgery, Oak Tree Primary School and Oak Tree Surestart Childrens’ Centre. We are also lucky to have a deisgnated Nature Reserve in the middle of our estate – Oak Tree Heath, which is a Site of Specific Scientific Interest (SSSI).

There are many active community organisations on the estate – each of which have their own page on this site.

The site will be updated reguarly to include news about what is happening in the area, along with information about meetings and events. We hope you will find the site useful and will let us know what you think  email: neighbourhoodcoordinator@oaktreenmt.org.uk

The site was funded for the first two years by the Working Neighbourhoods Fund and administered by the Oak Tree Neighbourhood Management Team.

Happy New Year to everyone from all of us at Oak Tree Neighbourhood Management Team and wishing you a very prosperous 2012.

This year the team will be working harder to provide projects on the estate that the community need, progressing with the park project, delivering more community training courses and taking advantage of the London Olympics by running our own Olympic events.  The team are determined to reach more of the community by becoming more inclusive across the ages and sections of the community.
