Tories bulldoze green commitments

Events in Europe and around the world in the last few weeks have shown that Climate Change is here. Some of scientist’s worst predication are coming to pass and its impact is worse than most believed it would be. Greece and Southern Italy have fought wildfires, while Northern Italy suffered rainstorms and hail. North Africa and Iran became oven hot and in America cities like Phoenix had conditions that were almost unliveable. In Arizona, even the cacti died in the heat. The Antarctic sea ice reached never seen before low levels during their winter. Clearly more action is needed now than ever. Humanity and Earth itself is facing unprecedented climate and potential ecological collapse.

Green Heart that will transform the city

It has been announced that major work will begin in autumn 2023 on the transformation of part of the old Broad Marsh shopping centre site into a green heart for the city. Back in December 2021, Nottingham City Council under Nottingham Labour announced the ambitious and forward-thinking plans to transform a derelict area of the city, into a vibrant heart for the city. In our manifesto we pledged to deliver a high biodiversity ‘Green Heart’ at the centre of the Broadmarsh redevelopment, in line with the results of the consultation and Broadmarsh Vision.

Nottingham castle reopens for all

Nottingham Labour is very pleased that the castle has re-opened today Monday 26th June. On Exec Board meeting we announced that the re-opening of the castle would take place in June and we are delivering on our promise.
We have announced a new general admission price of £12 per adult, allowing people to return as many times as they like for a year, along with free entry for up to three accompanied kids aged 15 and under. This is in response to the rising cost of living, which is a serious problem for many of our communities, and will ensure that all families in Nottingham can once again access the castle.

The new Executive

Nottingham Labour confirmed today (22 May) at Full Council the political and civic leadership of the city, after securing an increased majority at the local elections. A total of 51 out of 55 councillors at Nottingham City Council, are now Labour. This gives us a strong mandate to implement the manifesto over the next four years and continue to fight for and improve the lives of Nottingham residents.

Nottingham Labour Manifesto Launch

Nottingham Labour can announce that on Friday 14th 1pm to 3pm Room S11, Antenna, 9A Beck Street, Nottingham NG1 1EQ we will be launching our manifesto for 2023-27,

Over the past four-year term we are proud of the achievements we have made despite local and national difficulties, that have affected so many councils across the country.

Statement in relation to residential property tribunal

Regarding the recent publication of a residential property tribunal judgement Portfolio Holder for Housing and Human Resources Councillor Toby Neal has said:

“ I am astonished at the contribution from the tribunal, one I believe to be outside its remit. There seems to be a fundamental misunderstanding of the law which is especially surprising given that the rules around Selective Licensing schemes are clear and long-standing.
