 Nottingham’s new Central Library on Colin Street opened on the 28th of November. The new library is fully accessible and well connected to transport links, being in the same building as the Broadmarsh bus centre. Highlights include the children’s library, immersive story-telling room and exhibition space.
Residents will also be able to make use of a suite of computers, scanners, printers, free Wi-Fi and meeting rooms for hire. The new Business & Intellectual Property Centre is an excellent resource for anyone thinking of starting their own business, and a local history collection and service offers a brilliant insight into the history of Nottingham.
You can join Nottingham Libraries at any library in the city, remember to bring with you a photo ID and proof of your address.
Come along and explore the new Library, or enjoy one of the upcoming events:Â
 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 so far include Mount Street, East Circus Street and Regent Street.
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 take place regularly, why not come along to ask a question or share an idea on how to make Castle ward a better place to live.Â

 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.
