Imagine that
Nottingham in Hundreds of you have enjoyed sharing your ideas
about what Nottingham should be like in 2030 – part

UK top three of a new campaign organised by One Nottingham.

A Europe-wide survey has ranked Nottingham
third in the UK behind only London and
Birmingham for wealth, growth and business
opportunity.
The European Regional Economic Growth Index
(E-REGI) shows cities and regions across Europe that have
the greatest economic growth potential over the short-to-
medium term, and where demand for investment is likely
to be strongest.
Nottingham is developing a vision for the year 2030 and
although that’s a long way off we have to put things in
place now to make sure we achieve our ambitions for the
city. Eighteen Your Choice Your Voice events have taken
place in neighbourhoods across the city for residents to
come along to. Businesses, faith communities, the
voluntary sector, children, young people and local
community groups have also contributed. Hundreds more
of you visited our website to fill in the questionnaire about
what you want Nottingham to be like in 23 years time – so
thank you to everyone who took part. All your views and
ideas will be considered when coming up with a vision
for Nottingham.

A glass act
The City Council is piloting a kerbside
collection of glass as part of its ongoing
commitment to recycling.
Over 1300 households will be receiving a special
compartment to insert into their grey-lidded brown bins to
allow them to recycle bottles and jars as well as the paper,
cardboard, plastic and tins they can currently recycle. If
you are among the householders who receive one please
use it to recycle glass bottles and jars only (with the lids
and tops removed). The bin will be emptied on your
normal recycling collection day. If the trial is successful,
subject to Council approval, the scheme will be operated
on a permanent basis.
This pilot scheme comes as the Council introduces a
further 10,000 households to its roadside recycling scheme
and new facilities are added at several City Council
recycling sites to take drinks cartons.

Home on the range

The days of the Parkie are back
with seven new park rangers.
They’ve been employed by Nottingham City Council to
work with local communities to improve parks and bring in
an exciting schedule of activities and educational events.
The team, based in different parks and open spaces
across the city, will be developing 'friendship’ groups
from among local communities to help develop parks in a
way that reflects the interests of local people; working
with schools and others on environmental education
projects; providing a uniformed presence to make parks
safer; encouraging people to treat open spaces with
respect and issuing fixed penalty notices for offences
such as dog fouling and littering.

Park of the future

Climbing, running around, and generally letting off
steam are child’s play at a new playground catering
for tots right through to teenagers in St Ann's.
The £250,000 playground in Heskey Park combines
traditional park equipment like swings and slides with
landscape features that encourage children to be more
imaginative and adventurous. As well as the usual
playground equipment the park features a three-metre
high climbing wall (pictured) and landscaped features like
grassed hills and dips as well as permanent sporting
equipment to play basketball, football and cricket. It
marks the beginning of a long-term transformation for the
City’s open and green spaces and will provide an ideal
environment for children and young people to let off
steam, stretch their imaginations, get some exercise
and meet their friends in safety.

Eid celebration
at Council House
The end of the Holy Month of Ramadan was
celebrated with a special Eid dinner at the
Council House last month.
Two hundred guests joined Nottingham’s Lord Mayor, Mo
Munir; Deputy Lord Mayor, Gul Khan and Sheriff, Jeannie
Packer for an evening of traditional Asian music and food.
Representatives from a number of community organisations
were on the guest list including those from the Interfaith
Council, the Pakistan Centre and Nottingham Asian Arts
Council as well as members of Nottingham's Muslim
community. Ramadan takes place annually in the ninth
month of the Islamic calendar and is marked with daytime
fasting, prayers, spending time with family and friends and
charitable thoughts and deeds.

Unipol in town
Nottingham City Council, landlords, students’
unions and Nottingham University are working with
Unipol Student Homes to help students find the
best possible housing.
Unipol Student Homes, a newly opened accredited student
accommodation service, is a charity dedicated to helping
students find quality, safe and secure accommodation.
Student Strategy Manager Mike Cole said: “This is a big
step forward in improving the quality of Nottingham’s
student accommodation. It pulls together accommodation
of a good standard that meets our Public Health
requirements and the University’s desire to ensure that
students have an acceptable quality of accommodation.
It provides guidance to landlords too.”

Down on the farm

Thirty schoolchildren went down to the farm
recently to launch a new website about the food
they eat.
The new website at www.myfarmfood.co.uk/nottingham
shows children where their food comes from and how it
gets onto the supermarket shelves. It features information
sheets, a quiz and all the latest news from a real working
farm on a special farmer’s blog. The launch at Stonebridge
City Farm in St Ann’s showed the St Augustine’s RC
Primary pupils how plants grow as well as a demonstration
of bees and their honey, and which animals are linked with
which products – like cows and cheese for example.

The website has been launched in

support of the Year of Food and Farming
and can be found at:

Walking to success
Last month we featured the Footprints Walk
to School scheme – and now it’s won a
National award.
Footprints is a simple, healthy travel initiative that
encourages primary pupils to walk to school. The
scheme was piloted in October 2005 and saw
instantaneous success with over 10,000 pupils pledging
to walk once a week which has now grown to more than
16,000.
It not only cuts the number of cars on the school run by
5% - thereby reducing carbon emissions – but also helps
children stay fit and healthy which is why it won the
Local Health category in the Regional Monitor
Excellence Awards.

Court in time
Imagine this. A seventeen-year-old who has just
passed his driving test is egged-on by his mates to
drive faster, he does so and minutes later one of
them is dead – pretty shocking eh?
That’s the response the award-winning Road Safety Team
at Nottingham City Council is looking for when sixth
formers are introduced to the latest road safety initiative.
The project sees groups of sixth formers - who think they
are on a museum trip - taken to the courtroom at the
Galleries of Justice to watch a trial when their classmate is
unexepectedly brought in as the accused and subsequently
jailed.
“It isn’t until well into the event that they realise it’s a mock
trial,” says head of Road Safety, Shaun Shiels. “By then the
seriousness of what is being portrayed has hit them and we
have achieved what we set out to.” Following the trial there
is a discussion session and a fortnight later a second
session held at the school involving emergency services.
New night buses
Nottingham City Transport has launched eight new
late night buses which operate at weekends.
The buses run along the main arterial routes from the city
including those to West Bridgford, Mapperley, Wollaton,
Beeston, Clifton, Arnold, Bulwell and Rise Park.
Buses depart hourly at 1am, 2am and 3am on Saturday and
Sunday mornings from city centre bus stops and cost £2
per person. You can also use your Easyrider City, Anytime
