Hello, Today's edition of the Nottinghamian takes a look at calls for the new Broad Marsh site to last at least 150 years. It comes after environmental campaigners want to ensure the site is as sustainable as possible.
As a crucial decision on £20million of funding for the project is expected this month, a letter has been sent to the council signed by figures including former Nottingham South MP Alan Simpson and Cath Sutherland, chair of Nottingham Green Party. Ms Sutherland said: "We have called for 70% of that area to be parkland and it's going to end up being about 20% as the plans currently stand.
Marcellus Baz, chief executive of Switch Up CIC, said: “It’s fantastic to work in collaboration with Nottingham BID. The owls have heritage and they’re landmarks in different parts of the city. I’m grateful for Nottingham BID for raising vital funds which will go towards giving people food parcels, educational materials and supporting families during the cost of living crisis.
Tea with a side of history Afternoon tea is a centuries-old tradition but in recent times it has enjoyed a resurgence. Restaurants, cafes, bars and even garden centres across Nottinghamshire offer a lavish spread of sandwiches, scones and cakes - from big slabs of sponge to mini patisserie. The latest venue to launch the popular way to eat and catch up with family or friends is a characterful 400-year-old country house, in the village of Woodborough.
