Season's Greetings WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BURTON ROAD JUBILEE PARK? SEASON’S GREETINGS The Local History group is working with Gedling Bor- ough Council to look into the TO ALL OUR MEMBERS social history of the park. The council is hoping to erect in- formation boards on the site. The park was sold to the council by the Earl of Man- vers in1911 and has been used as a recreational ground since then. Did you use the park when you were younger (perhaps you still do)? What was it like then? What sort of games or activities took place? Appar- ently there used to be a bandstand: the Railwayman's Band and the Lilac Dominoes performed, with shire horses pulling drays loaded with equipment. So please search your memories, ask family mem- bers what they can remem- ber and let us know, or CHEERS! U3A members enjoying the Christmas spirit at Thursford come along to a meeting and tell us all about it. If you have NEW MEMBERS MEETING any photos, etc that we can copy for the information This is an opportunity for new members, and anyone wishing to find out boards, all the better.

  • Nottingham Heritage Strategy
    Nottingham Heritage Strategy A future heritage for the city Nottingham’s Heritage strategy is a partnership document, produced by Nottingham City Council in consultation with stakeholders across the city. Foreword Nottingham has a distinct sense of ‘place’. It’s somewhere different, somewhere special and, for those who live in the city, somewhere local. The diversity of the city’s heritage is its strength, and its history of growth, adaptation and development has helped establish a cultural destination and an economic centre where people can invest with confidence. Nottingham has a track record of successful heritage-led regeneration, attracting substantial inward investment and channelling it into the city’s open spaces, historic buildings and local communities. The latest and most ambitious project will transform Nottingham Castle, celebrating over 1000 years of history, exploring the city’s well-earned reputation as a place of protest and rebellion and showcasing its prestigious heritage and art collections. Over the next fifteen years Nottingham and its heritage will We urge all partners to unite behind this common strategy, face a number of challenges. The Nottingham Plan sets the working together to ensure the city can continue to celebrate and direction to transform the city into a safer, greener, healthier and capitalise on its rich heritage to help grow and develop the city more prosperous place. Our heritage has a central role to play for the benefit of many generations to come. in delivering these aspirations, helping to raise the standard of living and promote the city as an international cultural destination and place to do business.

    July 2019 Chaplains visit people in their place of work to offer friendship and to listen. Their support is unconditional, non-judgmental, independent and confidential. Interesting to Know.......... The City Council’s Executive Board has voted through an ambitious vision for a new neighbourhood along the banks of the River Trent. Located close to the city centre, the 27- hectare Waterside site is all the way along the waterside setting from Trent Bridge to Colwick Park. Small businesses account for more than half of UK GDP. More than a third (35%) of UK news consumers is actively avoiding the news with a majority (71%) of them giving Brexit as the reason why, according to the latest Reuters Digital News Report. Nottingham firm, Games Workshop, says it expects sales for the year to 2nd June 2019 to be around £254 million and profit before tax to be not less than £80 million - up from £74 million last year. The NHS is the fifth biggest employer in the UK with 1.3 million staff but currently has 100,000 vacancies. The Inclosure Act was signed by Queen Victoria at the end of June 1845. It gave the people of Nottingham 130 acres of Recreation Ground forever and consisted of 3 miles of Walks and 5 Parks running round what was then the edge of the medieval town, now part of the inner city. Around 25% of land in Nottingham is green space and there has been £40 million of investment in parks over the past decade.
