A message from Council Leader, Councillor Neghat Khan
Congratulations to everyone who completed the Robin Hood Half Marathon last Sunday. I know many people use running the Marathon as an opportunity to raise money for charity. This year, they included City Councillor Nick Raine who has raised over £1,000 for Imara, a Nottingham based charity working with young children and families who have suffered from sexual and domestic abuse. You can find out more about their work here [ [link removed] ].

New crossings on Queens Road and Meadows Way to help make our city safer
We're making Queens Drive and Meadows Way safer and better by adding new crossings, two toucan crossings on Queens Drive and a zebra crossing and parallel crossing for cyclists on Meadows Way
Enabling works have begun this week and traffic will be managed around the site by temporary two-way traffic lights and some parking spaces suspended in order to create a safe working area for the four-week duration.
Meadows Way will be closed between Ainsworth Drive and Crossgate Drive to install ducting and create a raised crossing platform between *Monday 21st and Friday 25th October.*

Last few days of Goose Fair
Goose Fair is at the Forest Recreation Ground until Sunday 6 October – don’t miss the last few days of fairground fun!
_Opening times_
Friday 4pm-11pm
Saturday 12pm-11pm
Sunday 12pm-9pm (SEND session 12pm-1pm)
Money-off ride vouchers will be available to download until 4pm today [ [link removed] ], to save 50p on participating rides and attractions from 4pm-6pm this evening (not valid on Saturday and Sunday).
There will be a SEND session on Sunday from 12pm-1pm. Going to a funfair should be an exciting experience, but for some children and people with special educational needs and disabilities, the loud noises and bright lights can be alarming. During the SEND hour these elements will be reduced to offer a quieter and more relaxed experience.

Homemade Café [ [link removed] ] at the Pavilion will be open throughout the fair serving hot and cold drinks, delicious food and homemade cakes.
