The Only Way Is Nottingham

Nottingham City Council reduce free parking + start charging Sundays

2011-12-05T07:01:00.000+00:00

Changes to on-street parking charging confirmed

Changes to the way on-street parking is charged and regulated will come into effect in Nottingham City Centre from 14 November.

On-street car parking charges will be introduced on Sundays and extended to 8pm in the evenings during the week. This will help tackle the problems caused by people parking for long periods of time in parking bays designed for short-term, high turnover parking for shoppers and visitors.

Since September, the council has consulted with 20,000 residents and stakeholders including the emergency services, retailers and faith groups.

Cllr Jane Urquhart says: "The comments and objections that we received have been very valuable and have helped shape the outcome. I have personally met with the city centre church group and we have had a productive on-going dialogue. A number of measures have been agreed to help alleviate their concerns and we have come up with helpful solutions for each church. This is consistent with parking offers already offered to other faith groups who worship throughout the week."

Measures introduced to support churches and faith groups include discounted parking in multi-story car parks and reduced price parking tickets for on-street parking for congregations of churches which are not located near car parks.

Furthermore, in response to the criticism of the Sunday charging times not coinciding with shop opening hours, the council has introduced a cheaper 50p tariff between 8am and 10am and similarly between 6pm and 8pm on Sundays.

With Sundays now being a busy shopping day, the introduction of Sunday on-street parking charges will help address the issue of short-stay visitors being put off from visiting the city centre by people parking for much longer periods - sometimes all day. It will help stimulate growth for local businesses and bring Nottingham in line with other major and neighbouring cities.

Cllr Jane Urquhart continues: "Nottingham is a key retail and visitor destination and our parking needs to be flexible to meet the needs of those who drive into the city. The new charges will help us better manage our on and off-street parking provision making it easier for short-stay visitors to pop in and out of the city centre."

Nottingham City Council to change bin collection dates...

2011-11-06T22:24:00.000+00:00

Bin day changes in Nottingham

From 21st November, many households in Nottingham will have a new bin day. That's because the Council is making changes to its bin collection routes to make them quicker and more efficient. This will help us save fuel and therefore save money.

If these changes affect you, we will be letting you know by letter from 7th November. Your letter will contain information about your new bin day or your new collection cycle (if applicable). We'll also be sticking a sticker on your bin during the week beginning 14th November to remind you of the changes.

If you are on an alternate weekly collection, we'll also be sending you a new calendar taking you through until the end of 2012.

It's important to note that whilst you may have gotten used to having your bin emptied at a certain time of the day, this may change when we begin our new routes. Please make sure you put your bin out for collection before 7am on your collection day and we promise we'll empty it by 7pm that same day. If you think we've missed you, you can report a missed bin collection online or call 0115 915 2000.

Why are we making these changes?

Bin collection routes haven't been changed in a number of years. In this time, kerbside recycling has been introduced to nearly all households in the city. We're taking the opportunity to modernise our bin routes to reflect the additional services we now offer you and at the same time make our routes more efficient, save fuel, speed up collections and reduce the number of trucks on the road.

All this means that the average cost of your bin collection service is just 76p per household per week. It also means that we can save hundreds of thousands of pounds a year to pump back into other services.

New postcode finder tool

From Monday 7 November, you'll be able to type in your postcode here and we'll give you all your bin collection dates for the year ahead, including Christmas and Bank Holidays. Keep an eye out on this page for this new tool.

We understand that the change might take a bit of getting used to. Local bin crews and other people working in your area will be out and about and on hand to offer you help and support. Hopefully this will make any change easier for you. If you do forget to put your bin out on your new day, please let us know on 0115 915 2000 and we'll try our best to get back out to you to collect within 24 hours. We will also collect additional waste, which you can not fit into your bin. This should be placed in strong refuse sacks, tied and left out with the green bin.

If you have any questions about the changes that will be taking place from 21 November, in the first instance please click here to view our Frequently Asked Questions where you'll hopefully find what you're looking for. If not, please email the team on waste.manager@nottinghamcity.gov.uk or call 0115 915 2000.

Promotional video to visit Nottingham

2011-11-06T17:07:00.000+00:00

An interesting take on Nottingham as a 'holiday destination' by Britain's Best Breaks from a few years ago. We're not sure whether anyone visited Nottingham as a result of it, or even if the company that made the promo are still in business. Nevertheless, the video's still fairly decent, and paints Nottingham in a decent image. A nice Sunday afternoon watch if you ask us!

We hope you enjoy their cheesy, but informative and easy-watching video! Comments welcome!

Goose Fair returns....

2011-09-27T20:32:00.000+01:00

It’s Goose Fair time again!

No one knows where Goose Fair got its name. Legend has it that it comes from the hundreds of geese, which were at one time driven from Lincolnshire and Norfolk to be sold in Nottingham...

Every year, Forest Fields plays host to an amazing night of amusements, entertainment, fair-ground foods (including hot dogs and candy floss), prolific rides, and thousands of people. This event captures Nottingham’s imagination and drags in massive crowds over its short but well-lived time in Nottingham.

Although there’s not much goose anymore, with the exception of a few burger bars selling Goose burgers, it can be said that anyone who doesn’t go is a Goose…berry… Everyone else will be there! (Our apologies for the appalling pun!)

Here are some of our favourite pictures from Goose fair years past…

This year, the Goose fair will be open for FIVE days! Opening times are as follows:

Wednesday 5 October 5.30pm - 11pm
Thursday 6 October 12noon - 11pm
Friday 7 October 11am - 11.30pm
Saturday 8 October 11am - 11pm
Sunday 9 October 1pm - 9pm

Make sure you get it in that diary!

Unemployed? Nottingham City Council tackles unemployment

2011-09-26T20:39:00.000+01:00

The new Nottingham Jobs Fund will provide job placements primarily to help 18 to 24s, who are finding it particularly difficult to get on the jobs ladder in this difficult economic climate.

The last time this scheme ran, the City achieved securing employment for approximately 1000 people, with periods of employment lasting on average around a year. So, is the scheme worth it?

For example, the Council plan to spend £1.5m on the new scheme. Assuming the scheme secures employment for a further 1000 people, would it be worth it? It equates roughly to £1500 per person.

Nottingham City Council is committed to reducing unemployment in the City (heard the cheesy "get Not-ting-ham working" radio campagin, annoying, right?!), with a commitment to pay up to half of each participant's salary.

Increased employment would lead to a decrease in benefit claims and arguably a decrease in crime, an increase in tax revenue and hopefully more local services/better local services. This can surely only be a good thing? What say you?!

We're all for reducing unemployment. If you were one of the people secured a job through the Jobs Fair event, let us know your thoughts below. Was it worth it? Or were you financially better on benefits?

As the ad goes, "get Not-ting-ham working."

Forest v Newcastle: 20/09/11 19:45

2011-09-20T19:13:00.000+01:00

After a generally disappointing result against the Rams at the weekend Forest fans will once again make the trip to the City Ground, full of beer and cheer ready to back the local lads.

Forest will be without the injured Chris Cohen, along with Anderson and Boateng, although we have information that McGugan may be back... we sure hope so!

We understand that goalkeeper Paul Smith could be handed a rare start while defenders Brendan Moloney and Joel Lynch could also see some action tonight.

Show your support to the lads. We saw a minibus of Newcastle fans on their way through town today, who only brings a minibus full?

Nottingham locals can be a helpful '12 player' today, we can't see many Newcastle fans making the trip...

T.O.W.I.N predicts a Forest 2-1 win. With odds at 9/1 we reckon it's pretty good value for money, with only a 1-1 draw at shorter odds (11/2). But don't take our word for us. Let us know your own thoughts!

Newcastle may be flying high in the Premier League right now, but these types of games can throw up all sorts of results. We wouldn't be surprised to see the mighty Reds nick it at the City Ground tonight, particularly if McGugan's involved.

BRING IT ON! (And let's hope the rains keeps away!

Nottingham retains its Purple Flag status - but just WHAT is "Purple Flag" and what does it mean?

2011-09-19T21:25:00.000+01:00

NOTTINGHAM RETAINS ITS PURPLE FLAG STATUS

Nottingham City Council has confirmed that Nottingham will retain its Purple Flag status. But what does it mean for the city?

Purple Flag accreditation

Local Authorities can apply for accreditation by completing an application form and paying a fee. Nottingham's size means it pays the highest fee (£3000) and £1000 'touchlite' fee each year it wishes to retain its Purple Flag status.

The fee, according to Purple Flag, is to cover administrative costs. But in a country still heavily in a recession and with Nottingham having to cut £10m from its budget, does the Purple Flag scheme offer value for money?

If an area is accredited with the scheme, it is able to fly, quite simply, a purple flag. The Purple Flag is a mark of status. Its benefits, according to www.Purpleflag.org.uk are:

that it raises the area's profile and portrays an improved public image
increases visitors
increases expenditure
contributes to a lower crime rate and lower anti-social behaviour
promotes a more successful mixed-economy

But we're not convinced. Until this evening, we hadn't ever heard of the Purple Flag scheme. And now we have, we're not quite sure whether it adds anything to the city. But, let's have a think about this.

Sure, it means we can fly a purple flag to show that we passed the test to become accredited, and it is testament to the great policing Notts police do, particularly in on a busy weekend night, but does it make us feel safer? In a nutshell, we're not convinced.

See the people that cause trouble (of which their behaviour no doubt lead to the creation of the scheme) aren't going to be deterred by a purple flag flying area. If they want to cause trouble, they will. It's only thanks to the police and their intel that the streets of Nottingham are becoming a safer place to be.

Does it encourage visitors? No. Perhaps the unwitting couple will pinpoint a night out in a new area for a change of scenery, but we can't see how having a purple flag would be the icing on the cake. Certainly a group of 18-30 year olds looking for a new scene this weekend aren't going to be influenced by Nottingham's accreditation on the scheme.

On the other side, we're all for improvement, and if this scheme spurs on the powers that be to achieve greater things, then we're right behind it. But to those mindless idiots intent on ruining a night out, it probably doesn't have an effect.

We should be proud of what Nottingham has achieved. And if it is in some way due to our £3000 purple flag, its maybe something that should stay. If our accreditation saves the city a few quid and reduces and deters criminality, then yes, it should stay. That's why we've written this article in purple.

Forest v Derby: 13:00 17/9/11

2011-09-17T12:49:00.000+01:00

Time to get those red shirts on again people of Nottingham.

Today's game should be a thrilling encounter, with Derby currently flying high with 12 points from 6 games, and Forest with a little bit of work to do with just 5 points from the same number of games.

Each team will no doubt go into this game with more pressure than the usual local derby pressure: Both have lost their last two games.

With Forest floating uncertainly above the relegation zone currently, it will be imperative that McClaren's men get maximum points from today's home game.

In what should be a spicy affair, Nottingham will be behind their troops, erring them on to smash the rams. With Forest odds on at 5/6, there's little money to be made, but a lot of local pride to be grabbed, and rammed down the Derby County supports throats.

Nottingham Trent University: A short review of which nights out will be rammed down your throat

2011-09-15T15:44:00.000+01:00

Nottingham Trent University (NTU), is one of two universities in Nottingham. NTU, previously a polytechnic, boasts itself as being a fresh, energetic and dynamic university. Set up on three different campus', NTU strives to help its students achieve greatness, boasting a high percentage of graduates securing employment within 6 months of leaving their respective courses.

The focal point of NTU is its huge Students Union. Except it isn't. Well, not anymore. The brains behind NTU have ordered a major redevelopment of its SU. Once a focal point for students to meet, grab a drink, dance or get shitfaced, it has now become offices for university staff. There have been many rumours circulating about which venue will be hosting 'SU activities', but whichever venue does, I'm not convinced it will have the traditional NTU feel. Rumours do have it though that the SU will be back... in 2 years time.

The next focal point of NTU, and one which possibly should be the main focal point, is its library, the Boots library. A fantastic building which has remained strong for many a year. With new computer systems being put in place, and its fantastic array of books, with the facility for users to request books not currently stocked, the Boots library really puts NTU on the map.

But what does Nottingham Trent University bring to Nottingham?

Well, for a start, NTU brings approximately 27,000 students in each year. At least it has in recent years. Additionally, it used to boast 5:1 girls to boys... except the boys have cottoned on.

Whilst the locals bitch and moan about "students" this and "students" that, no one can deny that their entrance into the city gives the city a real vibe, a buzz and is good for businesses, particularly those in the alcohol trade.

Then there's the student nights - let me tell you about the main three - three so over-advertised nights you'll still remember their places and their corresponding nights when you're old and grey.

Tuesdays: Oceana - £4 a ticket - NUS required

Oceana is one of the biggest clubs in Nottingham. But is that a good thing? So overly marketed during Freshers week and throughout the year, you'll no doubt go during Fresher's week, queue for hours, be too drunk to get in and end up on Lloyds or somewhere. If you do (finally) get in, you'll dance yourself dizzy, slam down as many tequillas as you can and quite probably ruin any possible chance of sleeping with the fit one in your new flat. Plan ahead for an awkward year. Then, throughout the year, or at least the first term, you'll see yourself at Oceana every Tuesday and yourself in bed every Wednesday morning, regardless of whether or not you've got lectures.

Wednesday: Ocean - £4 a ticket - NUS required

You'll moan about it every week, say how shit it is, how the floor is sticky and the music crap, but you'll always begrudgingly go. At least, that's what you'll do if you're a social outcase.

NTU students love Ocean - and Ocean loves them. The host of society night, where large groups of students dressed up as ninjas, schoolgirls and schoolboys, superheros, cops and robbers, cartoon characters etc. etc. ransack the town, ending up in as a mess in Ocean. Sure, your feet stick to the floor and they play the same cheesy music each week, but a true favourite of NTU students, you'll never miss a dip in the Ocean.

Thursday: Gatecrasher/Rock City - £4 a ticket - NUS required

Assuming you make it through the first two days of the week (NB: University weekends run from Friday-Monday), you'll be up for a rather chilled one on Thursday, listening to R n' B watching the boys pretend they're Chris Brown, and the girls pretend they're Rihanna/Beyoncee. You'll find all the smooth movers here. (Smooth movers or sloppy lingerers) Alternatively, you can get yourself over to Rock City and scream the night away (no R n' B there, but be warned, its becoming more and more mainstream).

Take your pick, your spirits in glasses at 'Crasher or your Red Stripe in cans at City.

A year at uni wasted is not a year at uni wasted.
