    WARDS: WOLLATON EAST AND LENTON ABBEY, ITEM NO: WOLLATON WEST WOLLATON AND LENTON ABBEY AREA COMMITTEE 9 MARCH 2006 REPORT OF CHIEF RISK OFFICER NOTTINGHAM CITY COUNCIL RESIDENTS SURVEY 2005 - IMPLICATIONS FOR WOLLATON AND LENTON ABBEY AREA COMMITTEE 1.0 SUMMARY 1.1 The report highlights the key Area 7 results of the 2 nd Market and Opinion Research International (MORI) Nottingham Resident Survey undertaken in October/November 2005. It provides robust data that reflects the perceptions of Area 7 residents on key quality of life, anti social behaviour and corporate satisfaction indicators/figures 2.0 RECOMMENDATIONS IT IS RECOMMENDED that the Committee: − Note the Area 7 findings − Note that Council Departments will analyse the data presented by Mori and integrate them into their service planning processes for 2006/2007 − Note that information from the survey is to be used to develop the Community Plan. 3 BACKGROUND INFORMATION 3.1 In October/November 2005 MORI undertook Nottingham’s 2 nd Residents survey. The Council worked in partnership with One Nottingham who wished to engage city residents as part of the safer and stronger communities’ strand of Neighbourhood Renewal, focussing on local communities’ quality of life. In total 2,033 City residents took part of these 207 are Area 7 residents. 3.2 It is worth noting that the survey dealt with residents’ perceptions at the time the survey was conducted rather than facts . Residents’ perceptions, therefore, may not accurately represent the level and quality of services that are currently provided in Area 7 and Nottingham as a whole. One of the challenges will be to link these perceptions with other data that is available, for example, performance indicators or other measurements of service quality.

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.

It draws on Nottingham as a single case study of a pioneering transition city in the UK context, with strong ambitions to become the UK’s first carbon neutral city by 2028. Nottingham is a compelling example for examining what can be achieved in practice by an English unitary authority, and what constraints are experienced by local actors that inhibit urban sustainable trajectories.

  • Meeting JOINT COMMITTEE on STRATEGIC PLANNING and TRANSPORT
    Meeting: JOINT COMMITTEE ON STRATEGIC PLANNING AND TRANSPORT Date: 11 September 2020 From: Joint Officer Steering Group Transport Update 1 SUMMARY 1.1 This report provides an update on the transport related issues across the Greater Nottingham conurbation. The report gives an update on the response to the COVID – 19 crisis as well as information regarding recent funding awards. 2 BACKGROUND Covid-19 Transport monitoring 2.1 In February this year the City Council began trialing a new system for collecting data related to the operation of the transport network. The system relies on sensors placed on lamp columns. Currently the sensors are located around the south west of the city covering an area from Beeston to the City Centre including Boots and the University of Nottingham. The sensors make use of artificial intelligence to provide classified counts of all vehicles together with counts of pedestrians and cyclists. The data from the trial has been used to understand the impact of the Covid 19 crisis on transport in Nottingham. 2.2 Appendix 1 to this report contains two charts showing graphical representations of the data collected since March 2020. The data has enabled us to draw a number of conclusions which are outlined as follows: Shortly after lockdown at the beginning of March, general traffic levels in the trail area dropped to around 25 - 30% of normal. In April we saw Cycling levels increase in the trail area particularly at weekends where numbers were up to 200% higher than normal As Lockdown eased during May and June traffic levels started to increase with HGV and LGV numbers increasing to above normal levels from the end of June onwards General traffic levels (cars and motorcycles) are now at around 80-85% of normal levels Bus and Tram returned to normal (summer service schedules) at the beginning of July however passenger numbers remain low at around a third of normal levels on buses and the tram is operating with around 23-25% of normal passenger numbers.
