Stay at Home: protect each other

A message from City Council Deputy Leader, Cllr Sally Longford:

sally longford

As chair of the Outbreak Board, I hear first-hand from partners across the city of the huge effort being put into reducing the Covid infection rate and saving lives.

We know that most people in the city are following the rules and I thank them for acting responsibly.

It is disappointing when we hear of incidents of large gatherings and parties. Although these are isolated incidents, they can lead to increased infection rates in local communities and detract from the efforts and sacrifices that the rest of us are making. Please do ensure that you are following the latest Government guidance to stay at home [ [link removed] ] as much as possible to help keep Nottingham safe. Nottinghamshire police are handing out fines to those they catch breaking the rules and recently the Government introduced a higher fine of 800 per person for gatherings of 15 or more.

Supporting everyone who is eligible for a vaccination to book their appointment and taking part in community testing are two things we can all do to help stop the spread. Watch this video [ [link removed] ] to hear first-hand from a council colleague Ruby Bhattal about her quick and easy experience of getting an asymptomatic test for Covid-19 so she can take her mum to get vaccinated.

*Get vaccinated if eligible* (over-70s): Book appointment - [link removed] / 0115 883 4640 [ [link removed] ]

*Get a test*: Nottinghams Asymptomatic Testing Centre [ [link removed] ] is at Djanogly Leisure Centre in Forest Fields. There is no need to book just drop in for a free test.

*Captain Sir Tom Moore*

The sad news of Captain Sir Tom Moores death yesterday is a stark reminder that we still have to do all we can to protect our vulnerable citizens. The 100-year-old Army veteran became a much-loved public figure last year when, then aged 99, he raised more than 30m for the NHS by walking 100 laps of his garden in Bedfordshire ahead of his landmark birthday.

Sir Tom had been suffering with pneumonia and tested positive for Covid last week.

The Union flag on Nottinghams Council House has been flying at half-mast today as a mark of respect, while both the building and Wollaton Hall will be lit up red, white and blue this evening in his honour.

There is also a national Clap For Captain Tom at 6pm, so please take part if youre able.

Captain Sir Tom Moore

carbon neutral 2028 logo

This week I was pleased to meet with the long-running One Nottingham Green Partnership. This partnership brings together a wide variety of organisations from local businesses, public sector and voluntary organisations all focused on helping make our city carbon-neutral by 2028. We met online (of course!) and had an interesting discussion on topics ranging from developing a new transport strategy for the city, how schools can engage with pupils better on green issues, the proposals for Broadmarsh and how best to fund the changes the city needs to become carbon-neutral.

I always find there is a genuine determination in our partnership to meet this challenging but essential target and a real understanding of the need to collaborate. Im very fond of this partnership as it demonstrates how our citys organisations can unite under one shared desire to make the city better for all.
