Both have grown, year on year, to become shining examples of success. Nottingham Express Transit (NET) was, at the time of its opening, one of the largest and most innovative Private Finance Initiative projects in Britain. It has provided some 90 million passenger journeys over the last decade and is received positively by passengers, as highlighted in the recent Passenger Focus Tram Passenger Survey. The widespread economic benefits Street life: Between Lace Market and Old Market Square NET has supported continue to be seen today.

    IHBC Annual School – Nottingham 2019 Heritage, Risk & Resilience confronting conservation calamities Full School: Thursday 4 – Saturday 6 July Day School: Friday 5 July Follow us on: nottingham2019.ihbc.org.uk #IHBCNottingham2019 #heritageatrisk Welcome to this year’s IHBC Annual School The Annual School looks at the potential impact of fire, flood, structural failure and other disasters, both man-made and natural, on historic buildings and the historic environment. It explores developing practical solutions to help protect buildings and areas from threat and to deal with the consequences when disaster strikes. • Preventing and dealing with the aftermath of fire - the single greatest threat to heritage ; what’s lost is gone forever and irretrievable but historic buildings are still burning down too often. • Managing flooding - its prevention presents unique challenges for heritage assets from the sensitive design of flood resilience in the historic built environment to the response to flooding events and their aftermath. • Coping with structural failure - the challenge of structural failure of heritage, looking at best practice and new technology in engineering projects. • Working with heritage at risk - digital technology for future proofing against disaster. • The impact of terrorism prevention in historic areas - considering the complex legal framework that underpins heritage, including the legal consequences of the destruction of heritage and the legal powers for saving those in disrepair. • And a story of when it all comes right in the end – rebuilding Stoke Rochford from the ashes. Nottingham, Queen of the Midlands, offers a surprising historic core in which all the main events of the Annual School are held. Known as a ‘Victorian Lace City’, it is so much more besides.

  • Fosac Schools Projects 2021
    NOTTINGHAM FESTIVAL OF SCIENCE AND CURIOSITY SCHOOLS OFFER 2021 INTRODUCTION The Nottingham Festival of Science and Curiosity takes place each February with the aim of celebrating and breaking down barriers to STEM engagement in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. The festival programme includes public events for families in city centre and community locations as well as events for adults. Each year, we deliver a range of projects focused on schools designed to promote curiosity and encourage all pupils to see science as something 'for them'. 2021 FESTIVAL The next festival will be taking place 10 - 17 February 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the festival will look slightly different; we will be using digital technologies where necessary and adapting to changes in restrictions as they come. Our schools projects have been designed so they can be adapted digitally, and we have consulted with teachers to develop an offer that provides support that's not disruptive and can be adapted to suit the changing needs of teachers and pupils. Our schools projects are open and free to all schools in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire as well as home educated children. All of the schools participating in projects with the Festival of Science and Curiosity will be invited to showcase their work at the Real Science in Schools Symposium. This event is an opportunity for pupils to come together to share their investigations, learn from their peers and meet inspiring local scientists. In 2021, there will be two Symposia: one at the Nottingham Council House on Thursday 11th February and one at Mansfield Central Library on Friday 12th February.

Utilising the local press as the primary source enables me to situate the discourses on the cinema building and the practice of cinema-going within the broader socio-cultural contexts and history of the city.

  • Adopted Local Plan Still Remain Essential to the Local Plan Review
    ASHFIELD LOCAL PLAN REVIEW ADOPTED NOVEMBER 2002 FOREWORD The previous Ashfield Local Plan was adopted in December 1995 with a plan period to 2001. Following adoption of the Nottinghamshire Structure Plan Review in November 1996 work commenced on the Ashfield Local Plan Review with a plan period to 2011. In July 1997 consultation took place on the Main Issues and Site Allocations Report. The Council's response to comments made on the report were subsequently published on 4th March 1999 together with the Ashfield Local Plan Review Deposit Draft. Following detailed consideration of responses to the Deposit Draft Plan and revised Government guidance, a Second Deposit Local Plan was prepared to include proposed changes to the Deposit Draft Local Plan. The Second Deposit Local Plan was subsequently approved on 11th May 2000 for public consultation. An Inquiry into unresolved objections to the Ashfield Local Plan Review was held between 13th February and 22nd May 2001. The Inspector considered all of the outstanding objections to the Plan together with a number of informal 'Inquiry Changes’ (IC’s) that the Council proposed at the time of the Inquiry. The Inspector’s Report on the Local Plan Inquiry was released for public consideration on 16th January 2002. The Council considered all of the Inspector’s recommendations, and subsequently the 'Statement of Decisions on the Inspector's Report & Proposed Modifications to the Ashfield Local Plan Review' was published for consultation on 9th May 2002. A report of consultation was published in July 2002 indicating that no further material changes were required to the plan.
