My Start Day Nursery
Nursery

*Councillors McCulloch and Chapman opened the £30,000 My Start Day Nursery garden facility on Minver Crescent, Aspley. *

The nursery has grown out of the recently closed Children’s Centre and been developed by Lily and Co, a community interest company set up to promote the community rather than shareholders. Congratulations to the staff for all their hard work.

*Councillors have paid for new litter bins for the area out of their local budget. *

They will be replacing bins at shopping centres in Aspley and Broxtowe. The bins they are replacing which are still in good condition will be used elsewhere in the area.

*Congratulations to the residents of Broxtowe who have taken charge of the entrance to Broxtowe Park in memory of a much-loved young resident who sadly died.*

Twenty five years ago this entrance used to be the scene of burnt out cars and vandalism. What a positive response!

*Over 135 resurfacing schemes have been completed so far across the city.*

In 2021, the council successfully bid as part of a competitive process for money from the Government’s Levelling Up fund to improve streets and local town centres, and make walking and cycling easier and safer.

Nottingham City Council has approved £11million of improvements to make our neighbourhoods greener, safer, better places to get around. Work is due to be completed in March 2024. Streets that have been improved in Aspley so far include:


* *Roads* - Lindbridge Road, Eltham Drive and Frinton Road
* *Paths* - Bramley Road, Camborne Drive and Amersham Rise

We are also setting money aside for tree work and bin replacements. You can find out more by visiting the streets for people website [ [link removed] ].

Would you recognise the signs of gambling harm?
Gambling

Gambling can affect physical and mental health, damage relationships and leave people feeling lonely and isolated. It can also cause problems with employment, education, housing and lead to serious debt.  

Gambling-related harm is under-recognised and often hidden. Many people being harmed by gambling don’t see themselves as a person with a problem and don’t recognise the issues it’s causing. When people do recognise they may have a problem, it can be hard to talk about it, or to reach out for help because of guilt, shame or worry.  

If you notice that you, or someone you know is feeling stressed, anxious, thinking about gambling a lot of the time, or hiding their gambling from others, it could be a sign of gambling harm.

Become a foster carer
fostering

You can make difference for children in Nottingham by becoming a foster carer. The number of children in care in Nottingham is at a record high and we need more carers to provide children with a safe, secure and loving home. A home where they can thrive, grow and reach their potential.

Fostering is looking after a child when they can’t live with their own family. This can be for a couple of days, a few months, or many years. The children come from a range of different cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

As a foster carer with Nottingham City Council you will get a weekly allowance. The allowance varies according to the child’s age and number of children you foster.

To find out more, visit the website [ [link removed] ] or call *0115 876 3335*.
