Celebrating 100 years of Woodthorpe Park
Thank you to everyone who came along to Woodthorpe Park in Sherwood today as we celebrated the centenary of this beautiful park. It was a great event that took place exactly 100 years after we opened the park for the people of Nottingham. Along with other councillors, staff and friends of the Park, we recreated the picture from one hundred years ago today! I?d like to thank the staff that do such an amazing job to keep the park so beautiful and welcoming, and also the Friends of Woodthorpe Park who welcome new volunteers?[link removed] [ [link removed] ]?to join them in the great work they do to in supporting the development of the park and involving volunteers to help look after our treasured local park.?More here [ [link removed] ] [ [link removed] ]

Installations begin on free solar panel scheme for residents
Solar panels on terraced houses
Over 650 households across the city will soon be saving hundreds of pounds on their energy bills and reducing their carbon emissions thanks to the free installation of solar panels and insulation. Work has started in the Bestwood area as homes that are expensive to power and difficult to keep warm are being targeted for installing energy efficiency improvements and renewable technologies.
The roll-out of the energy efficiency improvements comes at a time when energy prices are soaring and concerns about finding greener ways to power homes are increasing. Making these upgrades will save each household an estimated ?290 per year and will avoid approximately 332 tonnes of carbon emissions across all the homes annually. This scheme is part of the wider Greener HousiNG campaign which will improve quality of life and reduce bills for citizens, while also supporting Nottingham?s ambition to be the first carbon neutral city by 2028.

We?re committed to reducing smoking in our city
Stub it logo
We?re taking steps to reduce smoking in Nottingham. As part of World No Tobacco Day yesterday, we encouraged people to contact our stop-smoking service Stub It! to get help and support. The service is available to anyone aged 16 or over who lives in Nottingham city, offering a 12-week personalised program with trained stop smoking advisors. Find out more here [ [link removed] ].
We are also targeting the sale of illegal cigarettes in our city [ [link removed] ]. Trading Standards in Nottingham teamed up with Her Majesty?s Revenue and Customs to launch Operation CeCe in 2020. In that time, they seized 217,520 sticks (10,876 packets) of illegal cigarettes and 7,400kg (148 pouches) of illegal hand-rolling tobacco from shops and private addresses in Nottingham. This equates to a street value of ?55,712.
This is all part of our partnership approach to reducing smoking and illegal tobacco.

Have your say on a new private rented licensing scheme
House for rent image
A consultation has begun on a new Selective Licensing scheme for landlords to improve standards in the private rented housing sector.
People renting privately have a right to expect a decent standard of accommodation. Many of the 45,000 plus privately rented properties in the city are well-managed but, as part of the first scheme we are still finding properties that are to a very poor standard. It is also proven that poorly managed properties cause problems for local neighbourhoods that see higher crime and anti-social behaviour rates.
The scheme allows the council to make sure licensed rented homes meet certain conditions, that they are safe, well managed and that the landlord is a ?fit and proper person? and a new scheme would continue the important work already carried out during the first scheme to improve homes and remove hazards like damp, mould, cold and dangerous homes.
I would encourage as many people has possible to have their say on the consultation, which runs until 21 August 2022. More information here [ [link removed] ]
