 Itâs that time of the year again when we will be lighting up Sneinton Dale and Oakdale Rd for the Christmas period.
We have planted a permanent tree outside the Dales centre library that will grow and be used every year as our Christmas tree, saving the council money and helping the environment.
The lights will be switched on at an event at the Dales Centre Library on Wednesday 6th December between 11am and 12 noon. Children from local schools will be invited and residents are welcome to attend.
On Thursday 14th December, we will have our annual Christmas Fair at St Christopherâs Church on Trent Rd between 4 and 7pm. There will be stalls, music, free food, Nottingham Academy Primary choir and Santa has been invited to fit us into his busy schedule.
 We are pleased that work on Highcliffe Rd in Sneinton is nearing completion.
Money bid for by the council through the Streets for People fund has enabled the road surface to be replaced and for there to be clear markings separating the pedestrian space from the car parking area. New trees will be planted to replace diseased trees which have been taken out and a new area of planting will take place at the junction with Sneinton Dale. The road is now looking much smarter and the road surface is safer to drive on.
âWe are delighted to bring about this much needed improvement to a key road in our communityâ -Cllr Neghat Khan, local Councillor.
 It was great to be joined by thirty residents of all ages from our diverse community who gathered on Remembrance Sunday at Greenâs Mill to remember those who have given their lives in two World Wars and other conflict. Using poems, readings and 2 minutes silence, residents recognised the sacrifices of the past and shared hopes and prayers for peace in the world.
âIt is important to take time to remember the past and hope and pray for peace in the futureâ said Cllr Gul Nawaz Khan who laid a wreath at the gates of the mill along with Cllr Neghat Khan.
 Councillors hold advice surgeries at the Dales Centre Library every Wednesday between 6pm and 7pm and every Saturday between 10.30am and 11.30am. No appointment is necessary.
 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. Â
Gambling-related harm is under-recognised and often hidden. Many people being harmed by gambling donât see themselves as a person with a problem and donât recognise the issues itâs 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. Â
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.

 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 canât 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 childâs age and number of children you foster.
