 Over 135 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 ÂŁ11million 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 so far include:
-
Roads - Bulwell lane, Bramble Close and Greenwich Avenue
-
Paths - Ladbrooke Crescent and Neston Drive
We are also setting money aside for tree work and bin replacements. You can find out more by visiting the streets for people website.
 Drop-in surgeries with your local Councillors are now taking place, so why not come along to ask a question or share an idea on how to make Basford a better place to live.Â
Drop in to meet your local Councillors at Basford Library

 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 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. 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 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 or call 0115 876 3335.
 Our Help & Support email gives you advice, tips and information on money, debts, energy bills, food banks and much more.Â
