* A Christmas parade will take place just before the light switch on at 5pm
* Following the Reindeer will lead directly to Santa’s Grotto at the Curious Café

Day of action

*This month the council carried out a day of action in Bulwell that addressed a number of issues across the ward in one go. The day included:*


* Door knocking in areas to let residents know how to report anti-social behaviour
* Police operations in the market to tackle drug and knife crime
* An information stall in the market on welfare and energy advice
* Litter picks with local residents across Bulwell
* House inspections on private rented properties to make sure tenants are living in up to standard accommodation
* Painting the underpass under Irwin Drive in Hempshill Vale and much more.

Days of action like these are a great way to bring a lot of resources into the area in one go and properly tackle issues in the ward.

Do you know where to look for money help and advice?

Cost of living

*As winter approaches and the cost of living crisis bites, we have launched a campaign to tell people where to look for money help and advice in Nottingham.*

The Ask Lion website www.asklion.co.uk/money [ [link removed] ] is a useful one-stop-shop that pulls together simple steps everyone can take to help manage their finances. The advice covers budgeting, benefits, savings, debt, housing problems, food banks and ways to reduce household bills.

The asklion website [ [link removed] ] also signposts people to a wide range of support agencies who can give you free and confidential advice with more complex money problems.

There is obviously a close link between money worries, stress and anxiety. So it’s important to know that mental health support is also available through www.asklion.co.uk/mentalhealth [ [link removed] ] with a directory of local confidential support services.

If you’re worried about money this winter, the important thing to remember is that you are not alone and help is available in Nottingham.

Have your say on how waste and recycling is collected

Waste consultation

*The UK Government has set a national target to increase the amount of waste recycled in England to 65%, while keeping waste that ends up in landfill below 10%.* The Government is also introducing new collection rules for food waste and recycling to deliver more consistency across England.

 

To achieve these goals, the City Council is proposing new options for waste and recycling collections in Nottingham. These include:


* Working on initiatives to help people reuse and repair items rather than throwing them away
* Helping people to manage waste well and recycle the right things
* Starting food waste collections
* Making changes to how we collect recycling
* Offering smaller general waste bins
* Increasing our fleet of ‘alternative-fuel’ bin lorries

To help us shape the final strategy, we want you to tell us your thoughts on waste and recycling in Nottingham. Sharing your opinions will allow us to create a new strategy that works for the city.
