School children

As Nottingham schools reach the end of term this week, I?d like to give a massive thank you and well done to everyone who works in our schools, who have got through record-breaking heat, the continued threat of Covid and other issues this year while so brilliantly supporting our children in their school careers.

So well done to all the teachers, support staff, pupils and parents ? have a great break.


Nearly 300 council homes in Nottingham to receive energy efficiency improvements

Greener HousiNG on Sturgeon avenue

Nottingham City Council and Nottingham City Homes have secured over ?2.8m of Government funding to retrofit council homes in the city. The grants will see 298 homes improved to make them more energy efficient and help residents reduce their bills. The works include insulation that will not only keep homes warmer in winter, but will also help make them cooler in the summer months.

The grants have been secured through the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund (SHDF) and works will begin this autumn. This scheme contributes to the larger Greener HousiNG campaign in the city which has made over 13,000 improvements to both social and privately owned homes since 2012 and contributes towards Nottingham?s ambition to be a carbon neutral city by 2028.

And finally

football

I?m sure we?ll all be behind England?s ladies football team tomorrow night and cheering them on against Sweden in the semi-final. It?s been great to see England teams doing so well in this much-loved sport and I wish them all the best.
