Planting the Oak of the ‘Hood in the grounds of @nottinghamcastle marks a major milestone for the People’s Forest: a 100-year project from & for our communities.

Congrats @sarahmanton @ezekialbone @sherwoodpeoplesforest @nottinghamosf who have been reforesting the city since 2019.

Anyone who saw this might be concerned about #CN28. @samlux.bsky.social has just clarified this is a misleading article - no plan to change the target! #Nottingham is still aiming to be the 1st #carbonneutral city in the #UK

✨⚡️Light Night is back Friday 28th Feb- 1st March 💥🪐🎭

More than 35 magical installations and performances across the city centre, all free!

Thanks @nottstv for helping us to ILLUMINATE the event 💡💡💡

Monday morning castle meetings 🌞

We had a ward walk on the west of Castle ward this week with colleagues from community protection and enforcement. We covered Derby Road, streets around Wellington Circus and, of course, the Park Tunnel. We picked up some fly-tipping and bin issues that we’re getting sorted.

Another excellent mini climate assembly building momentum and ideas ahead of our full assembly later in 2025.

Thanks to Nottingham Women’s Centre for hosting and promoting among local networks.

It was a nice chance to speak on our CN28 progress and take interesting Qs

We had a huge team out for our Castle Ward walk today, starting out by St Peter’s. We identified and agreed actions on issues around litter, waste and ASB. It was great to see the new shops newly moved into Lister Gate and discuss the exciting plans for the Broad Marsh area.

Help get #Nottingham people from all walks of life talking about the #ClimateEmergency & how we can work together for a just transition, please support our #Crowdfunder

Heard all about Notts County FC’s dazzling sustainability plans today and discussed future collaborations… watch this space ⚽️🌍⚽️🌍⚽️

Back of the net zero 🥅

This is fantastic news for Nottingham!

After years of uncertainty, this is a major boost to our city and local economy.

I was greeted by this gentleman on my way into our Museums Oversight Board meeting this morning.

Newstead Abbey (Lord Byron’s ancestral home) at Christmas is a must.. 🦚❄️🗝️🐻🧜‍♀️🎄📜✨

We recently celebrated the renewal of the Friendship Agreement between Nottingham City Council and Vyronas Municipality, Greece 🇬🇷🏹

The agreement builds on the shared legacy of Lord Byron, a figure of immense cultural and historical significance to both Nottingham and Greece.

Nottingham operates the only workplace parking levy in the Northern Hemisphere, allowing us to:

🚊build a tram system
🚌 invest £120m in buses
🚲 raise £55m for active travel facilities
🍃 reduce traffic growth by 47%

Today I presented to UK100’s Climate Leadership Academy.

Suppose I'd better start blowing my trumpet, we're on social media after all

Here's this morning's writings for @leftlion.bsky.social on an initiative I'm very close to...

But I say so, so it's alright... right?

Enjoy, positive Bluesky people

Monet goes to Nottingham ✨

Tonight we launched ‘Impressions’ at Nottingham Castle, exhibiting 4 paintings by Monet, Pissarro, Sisley & Renoir.

Our team took themes from each painting to inspire a selection of art, textiles & objects from our collections.

I sat down with @samlux.bsky.social & @sallylongford.bsky.social to talk about Nottingham's bid to become carbon neutral by 2028.

🟢 Council "standing by" goal
🟢 Council emissions ⬇️ by 77%
🟢 Could River Trent be used for clean energy?
🟢 ULEZ not on cards
