A message from Council Leader, Councillor Neghat Khan

I am shocked and appalled by yesterday’s horrific attack on the Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester on what was a holy day for the Jewish community. Our thoughts are with all those affected. There is never, and can never be any place for this sort of despicable, violence in our society. It’s more important than ever that all communities stand together against hate and those who seek to divide us. We must not let them.

In Nottingham, we will stand against these senseless acts of violence and division and in celebration of our rich diversity. We will ensure it continues to be a place where everyone feels safe, valued, and connected. We must not let them succeed.

Latest on Nottingham's new walking and cycling bridge ??

This week, partners including the funders of our bridge project, the Department for Transport, visited the riverside where the 87metre, 175tonne bridge is awaiting being lifted into place. 

A huge 80metre tall crane will lift the bridge into place this November. Nottingham City Council will confirm areas that the public would be able to see the bridge lift. It is expected that the entire bridge lift process will take at several hours, and Nottingham City Council and Balfour Beatty will share pictures and videos of the bridge lift once it is complete. 

Once the bridge is lifted into place over the river, further work will take place before the bridge can be used, ramps, steps and hard and soft landscaping will need to be completed including paving, planting and lighting. The bridge is expected to open in Spring 2026.

Goose Fair
Last weekend of Goose Fair

Don't miss the last days of Goose Fair at the Forest Recreation Ground, as Goosey flies the nest this Sunday!

There will be a final SEND session on Sunday from 12pm-1pm, allowing children and people with special educational needs and disabilities to enjoy the fair without the loud noises and bright lights.

Get the best views of the fair on the Big Wheel, Starflyer, or Skyfall, the world’s tallest portable drop tower. Other rides for thrill-seekers include Time Machine, Aerospace, Top Scan, Air, and Ice Jet. There's also plenty of fun to be had for younger fairgoers on the Gallopers, Teacups, Helter Skelter, and Cake Walk, plus dozens of side-show games and attractions.

Food is always a highlight at the fair and along with the traditional fairground favourites of mushy peas and Cocks-on-Sticks, visitors can eat their way around the world with a diverse range of food.

Please be aware that stormy weather is forecast. While there are no plans to close the fair, some rides may pause operations depending on wind conditions. For the latest updates, please follow "What's On Nottingham" on social media.

Nottingham is on the rise!

We’re proud to share that Nottingham City Centre has climbed an incredible 64 places in the UK retail rankings, making it one of the fastest-rising city centres in the country surpassing major cities like Birmingham and Glasgow! ??

On top of that, Nottingham has also been named the number one retail centre in the East Midlands – ahead of Stamford, West Bridgford, Lincoln and Leicester.

This success reflects all the hard work to regenerate and re-energise our city centre, support local businesses, and create a vibrant place to shop, work and visit.
