Nottinghamshire County Council is failing to deliver on targets for environment, and it’s not clear that the current Councillors really care about actually making things better. Councillors like to be seen planting a tree here, or opening an electric charging point there, but when it comes to it: these are just small, corporatised attempts of…

Affordable housing is in short supply, and there are plans to build as many as 1000 homes in Radcliffe which will dramatically affect life in the village. Such a massive population influx is going to have a big impact on Radcliffe life over the next few years: but it is not clear that our Councillors…

For many years the need for school places in Rushcliffe has been growing and schools have struggled to keep up.

Last year showed that we can’t expect companies to cope with organizing social care on their own. We all know of carers who have to drive backwards and forwards across the county because of a lack of organization. This fragmentation is very wasteful- waste that we can’t afford when budgets have been decimated by central…

The green spaces that lie between houses, particularly on newer estates can belong to the Borough or County Councils, or to the developer who built the estate. These patches of green are fundamental to the visual appearance of the estates, and the community gardens, vegetable patches and bug and bird houses springing up on them…
