Did you come to Light Night?

Light Night

Nottingham was once again illuminated for Light Night last weekend, with thousands of people attending the event over two nights.

More than 30 installations, events and activities took place across the city centre, opening up the city?s fantastic spaces with light and colour, and giving people of all ages the opportunity to explore after dark.

If you came to Light Night, we?d really like to hear your thoughts in our visitor survey so we can make improvements for next year. You?ll also have the chance to win tickets to the Sausage & Cider Festival at Wollaton Hall & Deer Park on Saturday 1 June.

Celebrating the efforts of our fantastic apprentices

Apprenticeship

It?s National Apprenticeships Week this week (5 to 11 February), which gives us the opportunity to mark the achievements of apprentices working at the council and acknowledge the positive impact they make.

This year?s theme is Skills For Life, and some of our Housing apprentices are delivering talks and workshops to managers and other colleagues, as well as meeting with Alex Norris, MP for Nottingham North, to chat with him about his career and experiences as an MP.

As a council, we?re committed to investing in the development of our workforce. We currently have 244 apprentices in post, undertaking workplace training on apprenticeship programmes ranging from Customer Services and Business Administration to Health and Safety to social work and many more.

Would you know the symptoms if you or your child catch measles?

Measles 2024

Cases of measles in England are on the rise, so it?s really important you know the symptoms and what to do if you or your children catch it.

Measles spreads easily among those who are not vaccinated and can lead to serious complications, especially in young children and those with weakened immune systems.

Cold-like symptoms usually appear before a rash, including getting a?high temperature, runny/blocked nose, sneezing, a cough, and red/sore watery eyes. A rash usually appears next and can sometimes be raised and join together to form blotchy patches.

A few days later, small white spots may appear inside the cheeks and on the back of the lips. These spots usually last a few days.

It?s really important that if you think you or your children may have measles, you call your GP surgery or NHS 111 first, before turning up at a healthcare setting. This will help to stop the virus spreading.

The best protection against catching and getting seriously ill from meases is to have two doses of the MMR vaccine ? these provide lifelong protection. I would encourage you to check your child?s Personal Child Health Record (PCHR) known as the ?Red Book? and make an appointment at your GP practice to catch up on any missed doses.
