Gates swing open once more at Nottingham Castle
Castle OpeningCastle OpeningCastle Opening

It was wonderful to be at Nottingham Castle this morning to see Robin Hood joined by local schoolchildren as they ?stormed the gates? to reclaim the site for the people of Nottingham and beyond.

There was a great deal of excitement among the crowds for the special reopening ceremony involving pupils at Edna G Olds Academy, in Lenton, who were joined by the famous outlaw, the current Sheriff of Nottingham and other city representatives.

Hundreds of members of the public came along after taking advantage of a one-off ticket costing just ?1 or through a ?pay once, visit all year round? ticket, which is valid from today for multiple further trips. I bought my own today and look forward to using it.

Admission now includes the new visitor centre and caf? at the entrance, Hood?s Hideout adventure playground in the dry moat, indoor galleries, interactive experiences, and the Robin Hood Adventures and Rebellion Galleries.

Nottingham wraps up electric van experience trial

electric vans

An innovative trial offering local businesses in Nottingham and Derby the chance to try electric vehicles before they buy has ended with 79 organisations planning to take on 158 electric or hybrid vehicles.??

More than ?2.6m of funding from National Highways (and an equivalent of ?1m from Nottingham City Council) made the two-year trial possible. The aim was to speed adoption of electric vehicles ahead of the 2030 ban on new petrol and diesel cars, as well as contribute to Nottingham?s carbon-neutral ambitions and help clean up the city?s air.?

The 55 electric vans used in the EVE trial will now join the City Council?s vehicle fleet, replacing older vans that used petrol or diesel engines. They will be used for activities including deliveries and cleaning up rubbish, while taking the council?s overall fleet to 42% electric.??

One week left to get your spring Covid-19 vaccination

vaccination

Spring Covid vaccinations are still being offered to all adults aged 75 and over, people in older adult care homes and those who are aged five and over with a weakened immune system. However, the current Covid 19 Spring Booster offer ends on Friday (30 June).

More than 135,000 people are eligible in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire and all should have received an invite ? by text, by letter or through the NHS App.

Protection from the vaccine decreases over time, so it is really important that those people who are most vulnerable to serious illness are protected.

Everyone eligible can get vaccinated by booking an appointment via 119,?online [ [link removed] ]?or through the NHS App. There are thousands of local sites, including community pharmacies and GP practices.
