Housing Strategy
Nottingham City Council launches new Housing Strategy
Nottingham City Council has launched its new strategy – Homes Fit for the Future – which will improve the quality, supply and affordability of housing in the city.
Covering social housing, the private-rented sector and owner-occupied homes, the strategy runs until 2028 and is committed to a vision where: "‘Homes in Nottingham meet the aspirations and needs of our current and future residents. People live in safe, warm homes that they can afford, in vibrant local neighbourhoods where everyone can thrive’."
To achieve this, the strategy focuses on the following priority areas:
* Enabling the building of new homes and regeneration
* Enabling people with support needs to live independently,
* Improving housing standards while continuing the progress towards a carbon net zero future
* Making the best use of the available housing stock and supporting the development and acquisition of more affordable homes
* Preventing and reducing homelessness and rough sleeping
The delivery of the strategy will be monitored and reviewed through an Implementation Plan which will be reviewed regularly to ensure it continues to meet the changing needs of Nottingham’s growing population.

Free travel cards help youngsters go scouting around the city
Free travel cards help youngsters go scouting around the city
A local scout group was given 130 Robin Hood pay-as-you-go cards to allow their youngsters to take part in a Monopoly-style race around Nottingham.
The Robin Hood Operator’s Group donated the free travel passes to the 1st Chilwell and Attenborough Scout Group to help Explorers, Scouts and Cubs join the second annual "Oligopoly" event.
Based loosely on the famous board game Monopoly, this version sees them racing around the city visiting different sites and earning points for each location they land at. Additional challenges during gametime can land extra rewards.
