The Media Practice students have worked closely with Council employees to produce four videos to promote a range of services and activities, including a video to promote the Council’s Retirement Living Service; a video in Chinese and English to promote recycling; a video on why and how people can get involved in democracy and a discussion and training tool for Councilllors on how to chair a meeting.

The students have also worked with the Council’s partners to develop three additional videos including videos to highlight the work of Hope Nottingham and NHS Choose Well, with a further video on Broxtowe Youth Homelessness,to be added shortly.

The videos, which are part of the students’ final year assignments, were showcased at premiere event last Friday, attended by Mayor of the Borough of Broxtowe, Councillor Iris White, council employees, lecturers and peers.

Leader of the Council, Councillor Milan Radulovic said: “This is the second year that the Council and its partners have worked with Media Practice students as part of this initiative.”

“We hope that local people get online to watch the videos to see the fantastic work the students have done and to learn about some of the valuable services both the Council and its partners offer.”

Georgia Stone, Lecturer in Media Practice at Nottingham Trent University, said: “This has been an invaluable experience for our students who have had the chance to work with professionals across Broxtowe Borough Council to produce these videos. It enhances their employability and gives them a glimpse into the world of work that awaits them. It is also an opportunity to contribute to their wider community and to offer their skills and knowledge to help make a real difference. We are looking forward to working with Broxtowe Borough Council again on this productive partnership.”

NET works update – Greenwood Court allotment access

Press Release from Anna Soubry:

Speaking of the visit, Anna said: “HS2 has been widely welcomed on the basis that it will provide growth and jobs, as well as quick access to London, Birmingham and Leeds. This is another example of investment in our infrastructure, which has been a Government priority, with the dualling of the A453, electrification and improvement to Midland Mainline and the extension of the tram through Beeston to Chilwell and Toton.”

“HS2 is a long way off but the public consultation process starts at the end of the year and houses on the preferred route have been notified with offers of compensation. However, there is considerable local concern at the route, most notably in Strelley Village, Nuthall and Trowell so I took Simon to those parts of the constituency as well as Toton Sidings.”

“I have already met with villagers at Strelley, who are concerned at the impact on their lovely environment and I spoke at length to Simon about their fears. I understand that a boxed tunnel is planned for this section of the route, as well as cuttings for the tracks, which will lessen the impact of HS2 on the village.

“At Nuthall, the plan is to elevate the line to run parallel with the M1, in order to limit the effect on nearby properties.  Nevertheless, there is considerable concern from local residents, so I took the Minister to Nottingham Road so that he could see the impact for himself. Simon was keen to assure me that there will be full consultation and resident’s concerns will be taken into account”.

With this information in mind please ensure that your property is secure and locked at all times and can I please ask that you take a minute to read the leaflet below and review your own home security measures.

Officers from the local beat team are currently conducting a number of enquiries in relation to these offences and they are also conducting a large amount of crime prevention work. This will result in a number of houses in Bramcote being visited and further home security advice being issued.
