Confusingly some people believe a city is a place that has a Cathedral but this is not the case. The city of Nottingham (City Centre) was formed by a charter granted by the Crown (Head of State) to celebrate some national event, the last cities were created at the Golden Jubilee of HM Queen Elizabeth II, although this is not always the case. Large towns can petition the Queen to see if she, and her Government, will grant them the status of a city. Once Nottingham (City Centre) was granted the status of a city it gained a significant degree of self government and are responsible to Parliament and not the county in which it is located. Many cities also have the right to elect a Lord Mayor, the most famous and prestigious of which is that of the Lord Mayor of London.

Nowadays most cities are officially Unitary Authorities.

By what I can gather from him, there is a few rough areas but there are many pleasant areas. He's run into some trouble in town etc. I personally think that notts is just the same as any other big city they have the same problems. I live in southampton and the things that I have read are just as bad as the things that I know about that have happened here in southampton. I am still goin to move to notts u cant run forever the world is changing and we have to deal with it! Sarah 10th August 2002 Nottingham The Best/worst Being a Nottingham lad who moved to Yorkshire in 1985 at the age of 27, I feel qualified to comment on the state of crime in Nottingham. I visit family almost weekly and still go to all the Matches at the City Ground.

I can honestly say that I do not feel safe in parts of Nottingham i.e Aspley, Meadows & Sneinton and Hyson Geen. Near my mothers house a stolen car is being used for joy riding daily and then regularly burnt out. What do the police do "nothing" despite being called straight away, if they came out they would catch the criminals and put an end to it. The Police in Nottingham may be understrenght but to turn a blind eye to theft and minor muggings is past a joke and leaves me to think the lunitics are running the asylum. I accept that the area I now live is far from perfect but I am ashamed of the City I love and of the Council that allow it to deteriate and be left to the criminals who now contol and dictate to the long suffering and law abiding majority. John 9th August 2002 Imagine A Better World (Try Harder) I hardly know where to begin to reply to the frothy howls of outrage that masquerade as responses to my posting, but as certain people (most markedly Andrew, and especially AW) have descended to a form of intellectual willy-waving, I'll indulge those bigots first.

I rarely listen to the 'certain radio station' by choice; it is the preference of my car-sharer. My personal listening choice is Radio 4. AW accuses me of being uninformed and a bigot, of believing 'informed' people to be liars, and invites me to imagine what these 'informed' people (implicitly including himself within that group with the word 'we') think of my opinions. Speaking as someone with 10 GCSE's (6 at grade A), 4 'A' levels, a 2:1 BA(Hons) degree and a high-level job working within public transport (hence 'The Insider'), I find myself wondering which of us can most justifiably claim the h! igh ground on experience, intelligence and access to relevant information. I don't like to descend to this level of childishness, but perhaps this is the level required to communicate effectively with the likes of AW, since he/she brought this argument to the level of personal abuse without provocation from me. We can at least find common ground in disliking the US administration's arrogance as regards their global impact, though I've noticed that it coincides with a lot of US government money going into fuel cell development.

I do not support the unrestricted growth in the use of fossil-fuel-burning cars, I'm looking to a future where cars do not pollute at all (and the argument regarding the electrical/pollution costs of producing hydrogen is invalid, as trams incur the same penalties, and once nuclear/renewable sources are used for power generation, neither the tram nor the fuel cell will be a polluter) Given these facts, perhaps Jim from Beeston would like to revise h! is 'road lobby' label, I'm afraid you can't dismiss me so easily, and I can assure you I'm no friend of the oil companies or garages. On the subject of bendybuses – I’m well aware of the benefits to the disabled etc. but which is more sensible – a £600,000 bus, or educating the able-bodied to walk upstairs?

Moving on to other arguments raised in objection, I really can't see how anyone can claim that the disruption caused by the installation of a trackless system can be anything like as bad as a tracked one, particularly bearing in mind that systems exist that require nothing more than overhead cabling and a line painted on the road for the tram's computers to follow (thus eliminating the 'lining up at stops' argument). Modern trolleybuses are not unpopular nor a failure, nor are they found only in Nancy. Trials in San Francisco and Seattle show a 10-15% increase in use over other forms of transport. They are also run successfully in a great many European cities. Normal! braking distances in dry conditions are comparable between trams and trolleys, at around 1.5m/s/s (using regenerative braking in both cases) So far I can't find figures for wet braking (I suspect the trolleys would win on that score), nor can I find emergency braking comparison figures (I know trams use regenerative plus magnetic braking to increase braking force to 3.0m/s/s in an emergency, but how effective would this be over a trolley's regenerative plus conventional braking?

You may be interested to know that the braking speed of a car is far better than that of a tram or a trolleybus, a BMW brakes at 9.8m/s/s, for example. A number of responses criticised my comments that envisaged more car use in a fuel cell era. Some seemed confused, talking about pollution, which is invalid here. Others mentioned the impact of building more roads. Would roads really be such a bad thing when the vehicles travelling on them don't pollute and travel quietly? This leaves the issue ! of road accidents. While road deaths are tragic, people really have to get to grips with the idea of risk assessment and acceptable losses. Car accidents account for 0.03% of all deaths in the UK, and the government makes an obscene amount of money from measures to reduce this figure (e.g. speed cameras), while smoking is attributable to 25% of all deaths, and the government does very little to reduce this figure and makes £millions in the process through taxation. Given this verifiable fact, where do you think the government's concerns lie? Civic responsibility or moneymaking?

Bearing that in mind, do you think you should swallow their vague or unqualified assertions regarding what's best for you (in any matter, including transport) without checking it out first? Having said that, let me clarify the 'better world' that I 'imagine'. The doubling of the number of cars is an unlikely maximum figure. Even if it did double by 2030 (and remember it would go no higher), it! would not be difficult to accommodate the increase on an upgraded inter-city road network (yes, widening the motorways or even making them multi-storey). Within urban areas themselves, that's a different story. Cities will require either an unfeasible re-working of their road system (demolition on a massive scale), or a massive park and ride scheme with good public transport in-between. Naturally, the latter is the sensible answer. Complementing this would be dispersed indoor shopping centres on major routes, allowing fast direct access by public transport or car. If public transport is good enough, cities will do well.

If people find it easier to go to a Meadow hall-like centres, they will thrive at the expensive of cities, affecting a shift in the whole way people choose to live and shop, and where they choose to live. Clustering in Cities may become redundant and people could get back to living in a more rural environment (AW: if you think living in a city is so g! reat, take a look at the 'Nottingham Best City?' Speak out topic, and see what people really think), and since population density would be lower and more even across the UK, there would be no need to 'tarmac the greenbelt'. The argument regarding the variety of shops in Meadow hall seems misguided to me... small shops and companies have their place even in Meadow hall - have you been there? Have you seen The Lanes? Also bear in mind that the number of road journeys should see some decline as more people work from home, coinciding with the fall of primary and secondary industries, and the rise of tertiary ones. Industry has been slow to catch on, but there's little need to drive to the office every day if you have a PC and an internet connection.

The number of road journeys undertaken per year is not totally independent of the percentage of car ownership, though it has increased disproportionately, and school runs are a major factor in this. The solution to this is more o! f a social and policing matter - kids travel in cars because parents worry about safety. Until they feel safe on the streets, you can throw trams at the problem until you're blue in the face, the kids are still going to travel by RAV4. In conclusion, I believe the answer is to improve roads in cities where practical, massively invest in good public transport in those areas, to undertake an enormous overhaul of the motorway network, to build more out-of-town developments and to improve policing in urban areas. The rest will take care of itself. I don't think the tram is a bad idea per se, but the route is of limited use and trolleybuses would have been far superior, and an improved bus service even better. I also think that the trend for demonising car use may get out of hand, and that lack of investment in road systems is probably short-sighted. And finally, to all those who reduce these discussions to emotional slanging matches, remember that hitting your opponent wit!

h the chessboard does not make you the better player. The Insider 9th August 2002 Reply to Sandy I was born in Nottingham also Sandy......SO WHAT?

If I ever felt so strongly that I had to state in the public domain that Nottingham was a "horrible place to live" I personally would leave for pastures greener ASAP I repeat what i said before, your comment does more harm than good by being non-constructive, why not say "I feel Nottingham is a horrible place to live BUT I would like to help make it the best City to live in" anyway no offence was meant.....anyone wishing to contact their MP can now do so FOR FREE at the following web site your voice,make it count.....don't shoot the messenger Gary 8th August 2002 REPLY TO JAMES YOU LOT go on WWW.UPMYSTREET.COM COMPARE NOTTINGHAMS CRIME TO MANCHESTERS AND IT WILL SHOW YOU THAT NOTTINGHAM IS MORE VIOLENT THAN MANCHESTER PER 1000 PEOPLE.DO NOT EVEN CLAIM THAT LEEDS HAS GOT MORE CRIME THAN NOTTINGHAM YOU WOULD PREFERE TO LIVE HAREHILLS OR CHAPEL TOWN THAN ST ANNES ,MEADOWS,BOBBERSMILL,SNEINTON,BESTWOOD,BROXTOWE,RADFORD,BULWELL HALL E

TC TRUST ME MAX 8th August 2002 Reply to gary NG4 could you please expalin how my point makes things worse The problem with many recent points on the board is it is all doom and gloom.

I would even go as far as suggesting certain people would rather live in Beriut, Palestine or Afganistahn than here. Imagine someone reading these points and wondering whether to move here? They see all the negative points over emphasised and how bad it is over other cities when it clearly isn't. They instead move elsewhere. Confidence in Nottingham as being a good place to be falls. Property prices fall. Compainies and investment decide not to come, jobs are lost and not replaced. No one cares any more. The city ends up being left to the criminals. Don't you think a far better attitude is what are _we_ going to do about it? I doubt my view would get published if I suggested radical solutions, but you and I are tax payers and voters, and we are not going to stand for criminals, those who slip the justice net (like a certain youth in the news recently) and those who think they are untouchable. We want something done and authorities using comparisons to other cities isn't good enough, they can deal with their own problems.

We want Nottingham's elected officials to deal with Nottingham's main problems and right now they are crime and education (3 schools here are almost bottom of the league, that's beyond coincidence). David 8th August 2002 Reply to gary NG4 My comment was my opinion which u seem to slate! I was born in Nottingham i am not moving else where, could you please expalin how my point makes things worse? I'm letting other people know exactly how i feel....hey why don't you shoot me for it! Sandy Rowden 8th August 2002 Its Not Only Notingham In my job of work I have the chance to travel quite extensively around the country & i can tell you that Nottingham isn't alone in suffering this wave of lawlessness, its pretty much endemic wherever you go. Speaky totally for myself (probably out of the top of my head) I personnaly blame the total breakdown of any form of discipline within society: Parents can't smack children Teachers can't smack children Police officers can't smack children Child grows up with the attitude that it can do whatever it pleases without fear of recrimination, child turns into an adult with the same ethos.

Until we return to a society where people learn to take responsibility for their actions or face being made to take responsibility, little i fear will change Gary 8th August 2002 Nottingham Crime Again I would say that yobs and crime seem unfortunately to be endemic in every city in our country. I assure you everything that has been said here rings true for everywhere I have lived. Hull apparently is the drug/teenage pregnancy capital of Europe and you cannot venture into Leeds city centre without been harrassed mercilessly by hoards of marauding smack-heads, BI Sellars, beggars and yobs in shell suits. Leeds/West Yorks is also by far and away the worst region for burgalries. As for Manchester, well it has undoubtedly the highest incidence of violent crime outside inner London. Moss Side and Longsight are notorious for drive-by shootings and gang violence. Crime probably is terrible in Nottingham, but I promise you, it's no better elsewhere. Leeds is rotten to the core with criminals. James 8th August 2002 Nottingham not so bad I have lived in London for most of my life.

I have been to Nottingham for a while and will be going to University in Nottingham, and I dont find it so bad. It is probally just because I live in London and the streets are 20 times dirtier and the crime is 40 times worse. The fact that the man who started the messages said that, he has lived in Nottingham for 5 years, and only his friend has been mugged, means that it really isn't as bad as it could be. There will always be violence, and trouble as long as hard drugs are involved, where ever you go in England. You just have to live your life by a few rules to keep yourself safe. 1. Your saftey is your prime concern over your possesions. 2. Keep your temper and try not to start arguments with people you don't know. Even if they aren't that bad their friends or family might be. 3. Be careful where people and alcohol are involved, because people become agressive under the effects of alcohol. 4. Stay away from hard drugs. Many times have I seen people kidnapped and killed over drugs.

The sad thing is in my short 18 years of life, I have seen all of this all to frequently and it is a shame that you have to be so cautious, it shows that the county isn't in a particualry good state, however, I just feel that of all the citys I have spent long periods of time in, Nottingham is one of the best, as unfortunate as that may seem. Anon 8th August 2002 What can be done? The thing is, if it wasn't for the over-wealming amount of crime in Nottingham, it would actually be one of the best cities in the world. The City Centre is very moderen but manages to maintain it's historic feel too. Also, I've travelled all over the United Kingdon and can honestly say that Nottingham women are the best looking in the UK. However, we are faced with a crime epidemic fulled by a huge increase in crack-cocaine use. Politicans predicted in the 90's that the UK would experince a huge rise in crime due to cocaine being smuggled in. But this never really happend as the crime-rate remained steady throughout most of the 90's.

Different story now though, there's been a huge crime explosion and Nottingham is in the Center of it. Tony Blair said he'd have street-crime under control by the end of September, slightly optimistic I feel, given that he doesn't really care about issues at home (seemingly). I heard one of the topics discussed by the Labour Goverment was the possible use of Ex SAS members entering housing estates to route out the gang members. This certainly has my backing. The gangs wouldn't dare come onto the street and would be stuck in their homes like many of their victims. We send peace keepers to areas around the world all the time - they should be used on our own streets. On the positive side, things can hardly get any worse in Nottingham. Can they?............. Mr Petal 7th August 2002 Nottingham is the best City in the World. Yeah, right. I've lived in some of the worst, and some of the 'best' areas of Nottingham in the 5 years or so that I've lived here. Let me paint a picture for you: Facts: Someone is shot pretty much every week. Hard drug use is rife, as is the crime that goes with it.

Beggars are everywhere, many are intimidating and some can be dangerous. Crime of every sort is pretty much the worst you can find outside London. While the nightlife is excellent, the scum that come out at night are downright dangerous. My Experience I have personally been a victim of serious intimidation, robbery, car theft and vandalism (seperate occasions). A friend of mine has been threatened at knifepoint and robbed (a number of times), and also glassed. Another friend of mine was mugged in broad daylight on a main road with witnesses. Another friend of mine recently witnessed a man literally blown away by shotgun outside his place of work (in broad daylight). Another friend of mine saw (from a pub window) a man beaten to death by a gang armed with baseball bats, after having chased him on foot for over 2 miles). A guy was shot and killed just down the road from me within the last month. A colleague of mine was returning from a night out when he was thrown down some subway steps and left unconcious - just for the fun of it (they didn't rob him). Within the last few weeks a mini gang war erupted in the busy city centre at 4.00pm!

In some areas of the city I allow other drivers to carve me up without complaint becau! se! I know from experience that their reaction can be extremely dangerous. Every day there is a new crop of burned out cars somewhere, I hear helicopters circling the City regularly at night, and when I drive to work in the morning, passing the world's best speed camera technology on roads choked to death by the congestion caused by the ridiculous tram project, the local radio station repeats to me every 10 minutes or so, in a Joseph Goebbels-inspired mantra, "Nottingham - The world's best city" The day I believe it is the day I top myself. Welcome to Delta City, folks. The Insider 7th August 2002 Rubbish!! The reason the streets are so dirty is that the council won't spend the money on keeping them clean, preffering to spend OUR money on things like the much vaunted tram system, companies it buys losing millions & a racially discriminatory election to take place shortly!! Question, Why can't a white person vote for a black candidate? Gary 5th August 2002 Nottingham Crime I would be interested to know if there is anyone 'in authority' reading these comments.

If so, what are your reactions to the concerns of these people? It is no use comparing Nottingham to other cities in the UK, as the previous leader of the Council did when I tackled him at a debate recently. We are not interested in other cities' problems - we look to the council and the police to address the very real problems Nottingham has. I have visited many cities, particularly in the States, and places like New York, Boston, San Francisco,Los Angeles, whilst they do have unsafe areas,are much more pleasant places to be, especially at night, than Nottingham city centre. Why are we content in this country to put up with unacceptable behaviour? Lynda 3rd August 2002 Notts Police I live in the Center of Nottingham (near St Anns) and can safely say it's one of the worst places you could ever imagine living in. This s**t-hole of a City is a typical example of "Yob culture" in Britian today. Potential Visitors: I advise you not to come to this City, it will leave a bad taste in your mouth, and possibly taint your view on the whole of the UK - yes, it's that bad.

What can be so attractive about a city that has so many run-down housing estates. What's so pleasent about seeing kids running around in the street in nappies whilst thier (single) mums are getting it ... by a bunch of mis-educated and generally mis-guided, young thugs. The gun crime is pretty bad, but the recent shootings in Radford don't scare me as they seem drug-realted or 'black on black' crimes. The real scary crimes are committed by desperate crack heads who will use almost any means imagineable to get cash for their next fix. The City Council do nothing, all they care about is building a sodding Tram Line. A Friday or Saturday night out is dangerous aswell, the probablity of getting smacked in the face or glassed for minding your own business is, lets just say, high. People who say Nottingham is nice place to live must be under-cover members of the City Council as I can tell any potential visitor, it definately is not. Mr Petal 2nd August 2002 helicopters!! over nottingham yesterday i noticed a few helicopters flying over nottingham and out over carlton way.

to be expected of course for the queens visit naturally security should be tightened up on such a visit (maybe they should think closer to home then no egg incident!) but more importantly i have noticed the helicopters on nights previous and also two helicopters flying over and around the carlton area tonight? i cant belive for one minute that it is the police ? if it is then this is not mearly a routine scout round for a police helicopter?? we have a "real" problem in this town people. Matt 2nd August 2002 Nottingham Being 16 and recently coming back from a month in America visiting friends, I realise that the only problem with Nottingham is us! We are distroying it with our litter and 'gangs'. ! When I went to New York and Boston I thought it was great, but I'm sure the people living there don't think so! The concerned future! 2nd August 2002 Is Nottm the best? Wow, I can't believe what I'm reading about the city where I was born and spent the first eighteen years of my life. I live in B.C. Canada now and never have to think of such things happening to me here.

It sounds terrible and would scare anyone from moving there, too bad because it was such a nice place to grow up in the forties and fifties. What's the matter with people? Is it really that bad? I've been back several times in the last few years and have never seen any problem. You get beggars in any big city from my experience, they didn't bother me at all when I walked around the city centre last year, I just ignored them. After hearing all this stuff and being told by my relatives of how it is, I was scared to walk the streets to explore where I had grown up, very sad indeed! Judith 1st August 2002 nottingham crime I would strongly advise those previous callers NOT to move to Nottingham. Maria, there aren't any 'posh' areas. There are rough and fairly good areas and that's it!

You wouldn't want to live in the rough areas and the good areas are always being burgled so Hobson's choice, really!The council are only interested in the beggars and the 'ne'er do wells' - as far as the rest of us are concerned, they could not care less about the fact that we are struggling to get to work thru' the chaos on the roads (do ALL the roads have to be repaired at the same time?), that people are sick to death of the yob culture in the city, that we are now to be charged for parking at work (assuming we actually arrive in the mornings!), that Nottingham has become one of the ugliest cities in Britain (must we have a fair in the Square every school holiday?)- the list is endless. Maybe the council would like ! us all to give up work and go on the dole - then we wouldn't have to travel at all and could leave their precious city to the beggars and drug additcts. Yes, Nottingham has good clubs etc but we always have had - in the 60s there wasn't anywhere like it!

But we could walk home from the Boat Clubs at Trent Bridge in complete safety - now, you'd be lucky to make it to the bus stop without being shot at or having a glass stuck in your face just for looking at someone. There is more to life than pubs and clubs - quality of life is more important and there is none in Nottingham now. Lynda Moran 1st August 2002 Nottingham - Crime Once again we have another week of violence in Nottingham. After the shootings on Friday we have people running around with an axe on a saturday afternoon in Hockley. Isnt it time the police targeted the trouble spots and implemented a thorough policy of 'stop and search'. richard 1st August 2002 Zero Tolerance I agree with Max and Mark on this one. I am astonished that we have not tried Zero Tolerance policing in Nottingham. Crime is destroying this city and yet both the City Council and the Government seem content to stand back and let it happen. I have been to New York many times in the last twenty years and I am amazed at the difference that ZT has made. The place has lost none of its buzz but feels so much better.

ZT has allowed people to reclaim their neighbourhoods from the drug dealers and hoods. No one is claiming that New York will ever be crime free, but its a hell of a lot better. Andrew 31st July 2002 Road Safety Don't you think its time we all spoke out against what this government see's as being their no.1 crime target THE MOTORIST & insist that more of OUR money is spent on getting the police back on the beat. FACT the government will make ITRO £72,000,000 this year alone from speed cameras fitted nationwide, while all around us communities descend into crime ridden areas that come night fall become no go zones for most law abiding citizens.

Nottingham isn't as bad as it would appear from reading these pages but unless somthing is done to stem the tide of crime it soon will be, sadly this situation is an epidemic spreading right across Britain but what punishment is there to deter any would be felons, going back to my original point, lets stop making honest folk into criminals for travelling at 33mph & plough any revenue raised so far from this pathetic which hunt back into fighting REAL CRIME Gary 31st July 2002 Law and Order The problem with law and order is that we don't have police walking the beat like we used to. Our local police station usually has a small fleet of vehicles outside, sometimes spilling into nearby streets. They don't walk the beat and they won't even answer the door to the police station (we know you're in there, there's half a dozen police cars outside). We've seen kids in the lane smoking crack, cars outside my house with the occupants openly smoking heroin and the odd stabbing. Where is this? Sneinton? St Annes? No, this is the leafy suburb of Wollaton.

Fred 30th July 2002 Home is Nottingham Love Nottingham, was born there in 1953, met and married another nottinghamite, left in 83 for New Zealand, but i still call my home 'Nottingham', bit disturbing to hear about all the crime, is it really that bad? i'm coming over next week for a month's holliday so i guess i better be on my guard! julie B 30th July 2002 nottm. the best NOTTINGHAM,LIKE ANY OTHER CITY,TOWN, OR VILLAGE THOUGHOUT THE WORLD HAS GOT ITS SHARE OF YOBS, BEGGERS AND VIOLENT CRETTINGS.AND LIKE OTHER UK AREA'S IT SUFFERS THE LACK OF SUPPORT OF THE COURTS.THE QUOTE " THE LAW IS AN ASS" HAS NEVER BEEN SO TRUE. UNTILL THE POLICE COME DOWN HEAVY ON THE LAW BREAKERS AND THE COURTS GIVE OUT STIFF SENTENCE'S I CAN'T SEE THINGS GETTING ANY BETTER.CRIME IS'NT A LOCAL PROBLEM ITS A WORLDWIDE ONE.

NOTTINGHAM HAS ITS SHARE BUT LOOK ON THE POSITIVE SIDE,LOOK WHAT THIS FINE CITY HAS TO OFFER,BOTH TO THE YOUNG AND OLDER ALIKE.REMEMBER NO PLACE IS 100% SAFE. RAYMONDO 30th July 2002 Positive thinking 'extends life' Nottingham used to be the best. I moved back 5 years ago. The last 3 years have seen the yardies and gangsta's getting away with murder, increasing their no's of prostitutes and inspiring a new generation to ruin their lives and those of others. Combined with that, overall the locals seem to be sinking their aspirations to a 'low' culture below and beyond even that of North Notts (I was brought up there). St Anne's is a cancer spreading to all of its neighbours, I feel sorry for the decent people living there. Yes the out of town morons coming into Nottingham for a weekend booze-up never help, but they've been staggering in for ages and they are mixed in with nice visitors.

The key is the kids, their horizons need broadening, but most of the schools are so badly run and rendered powerless by PC (insights come from temporary, middle-of-the road teachers), that drastic action is required to restore discipline preferably before the next year's intake is tainted. We can be the best again, but action is needed now, next week and for years after. People need to take responsibility. The council needs to take its head out of its backside, stop worrying about politics or renaming black coffee, 'coffee without milk'(true story: they don't like you if you ask for b**** coffee in council meetings), and get on with improving life for *all* of us. Bartleby 30th July 2002 Nottingham The Best Lets not forget that we've still got all those lovely speed cameras surely they should stop this outbreak of shootings, beatings, muggings, car theft, & murders etc. This City needs to take a good look at it's self especially the councillors who's blinkered vision of Nottingham seems not to include any of the above. I fear it may get worse before it gets better Gary 29th July 2002 Let's be careful out there.

I had the wildest dream on Sunday morning. I was in a post-apocalyptic city where three people had been shot in five days, someone was killed trying to get into a club and an axe-wielding maniac was on the loose. Unfortunately it was no dream, it was my radio alarm waking me from my slumber with the latest news from Nottingham. Have a safe week everyone. Pearce Frenum 29th July 2002 Nottingham the best? This is a joke, surely? Now we have reports of yet another shooting this morning. What exactly is the City Council doing about the appalling reputation this city has - increased crime rates, poor education record, city full of beggars,a non-existent transport 'system' - the list is endless! In other parts of the country, once derelict areas are being 'gentrified' - in Nottingham, once decent areas are becoming squalid, run-down and crime-ridden. Lynda Moran 29th July 2002 No thanks! I live in Lincoln, not Nottingham thank God. The only time Nottingham is mentioned on East Midlands Today is regarding yet another shooting. Do our Draconian firearms laws not apply in your fair city?

I was going to say I wouldn't be found dead in Nottingham, but on reflection, the opposite is more likely! Cavan Duval 29th July 2002 Bulwell I am surprised that no one has singled out Bulwell in this debate. Honestly, you cannot imagine a sadder, poverty ridden, more miserable crime infested dump than Bulwell. In spite of the fact that its a health action zone; employment action zone; and an education action zone: it remains a truly dreadful place! Andrew 23rd July 2002 in reply katie you live in a nice safe leafy suburb.NOT IN THE CITY LIVE IN ST ANNES FOR A DAY THEN WRITE A COMMENT MAX 22nd July 2002 FROM NOTTS & PROUD! As you may of guessed i am from nottingham! i love notts, it is a great place to live in. There are lots of people complaning of crime, well nothing has ever happened to me or any one i know! i also agree with Mario from Toronto, Canada, beeston is a great place (i know coz i live there) :) well im from notts and proud!

from Katie (13) 15th July 2002 Studying in nottingham trent university I'm GOING to my masters in european construction management in nottingham trent university .after reading all this come comments i'm thinking wheather to make it to nottingham or go to usa for my Masters in Architecture karthik 12th July 2002 Head defends school I was very interested to see Mr davey's defence of his schools academic record. Whilst I do not agree with using league tables in education, the fact is was Mr Davey was headhunted by the authority and is paid a significantly larger salary than other Nottingham heads, he appeared on the front page of the local paper boasting of it. To stretch the sporting analogy further he has taken the money but failed to deliver, the school's results haven't improved and he should be judged by that criteria!! Jason Degg 9th July 2002 how great is nottingham? I have lived in Stoke, I now work in Birmingham, but there is nowhere quite like nottingham. The shops are amazing, the pubs and clubs are up to date and (mostly) clean, there is loads to do (cinemas, bowling etc).

Not only that but it is home to massive international companies like Boots and Games Workshop as well has being slap next to the M1, an airport on its doorstep, its perfect. Yes there are areas where crime is violent and drugs rife, but what cities in europe DON'T have this trouble? The police need to come down on the 'cruisers' who tear around notts on a friday saturday and sunday night, stamp out the addicts and dealers and show more of a presence on the streets. marc D 8th July 2002 Bilborough When I bought my first house in bilborough 5 years ago I was told it was rough etc and should not move there, the people in the area are really nice and one of my sons goes to school locally and I have never seen a crime being committed. My house has nearly doubled it`s value so can it be that bad! don`t listen to them! Paul Skerritt 5th July 2002 Policing i live in sneinton and have done, very happily,for 20 years but in the last 3 the streets have become worse and now it is deterioating rapidly.

We seem to have the 'boys' from the meadows and st annes down here now plying thier trade. My grandchildren dont feel safe and some of my neighbours are seeing things they never thought they would. We once had a happy thriving community, what has happened? NO POLICE on the streets. Marilyn Moore 2nd July 2002 Nottingham Mr. Peepers, Don't worry about crime in Nottingham, if you lived a rough area in North Notts then you should be worried but as a tourest visiting the city just be carefull, My young teenage children regulary go into Nottingham for shopping with friends, so far nothing has happend to make me worried. It's not as bad as New York S. Ocean 1st July 2002 Nottingham Having worked all over the world after moving to Nottingham 30 years ago. Nottingham means HOME. It's a place I look forward to returning to. For people who live there all the time and take a great city for granted I feel a little sadness.

The small thrill of sitting in the middle of a desert oilfield, clicking onto a city centre webcam and seeing the buses outside Vickey centre at 7am on a damp morning can only be experienced by those who love and respect the city for all its good points. Don't focus on the wrong doings of a minority of idiots appreciate Nottingham for what it is lively, vibrant, clean and fun to be a part of. At 58 I should know I've lived,worked or visited most of the major city's in the world. Don't knock it folks you don't know how lucky you are Mike Traynor 29th June 2002 from Melbourne Australia Ok, interesting to research the internet about Robin Hood, specially that it is somewhere in my family history. It is great to see this site and photos of Nottingham. Just wanted to add my hello to Nottingham. One day I would love to visit there from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Sue Reid 29th June 2002 Nottingham I live over here in North America. I have never been to England before. If I do though, I will go and visit Nottingham. It sounds like an alright place.

It couldn't have more crime than Los Angeles could it? Mr. Peepers 27th June 2002 Vacation--Nottingham Nottingham is a beautiful place to visit in the summer. The view of the university is breathtaking. I spent two weeks in a small town called Beeston. Quiet and calm best describes this place. I encourage everyone to visit Nottingham. I experienced my first true love there. To me it was a storybook from beginning to end! Mario 27th June 2002 Wrong Gene Richardson, highest crime rate in the country! That is not true, I dont know where you got those statistics from but London has the highest crime rate, for one reason it has 7million residents where Nottingham has fewer than 1million. S. Ocean 21st June 2002 Nottingham nottingham has like the highest crimerate in the UK (or so im told)how can you people like it?!?

you cant walk through town without a ig issue seller coming up to you, a tramp begging you for money, people high on drugs asking for money, people just coming up to intimidating you, asking for money, phones, etc, please sort it out Gene Richardson 13th June 2002 Nottingham Some cities excel in only one area and fall flat in others. If Nottingham is middle of the road as some of you think then it must be just right - the correct balance. I think that it is everything you want it to be as long as you get off your butt and find something to do. It won't come looking for you? Phillip 10th June 2002 Nottm I think Nottinghamshire as a City and County is beautifula nd we should be proud of it, but i feel we as a county have an identity crisis. ''East Midlands.....where?'' thats the response i get from people when i tell them where i live, or ''I know Birmingham and the West Midlands'' we have nothing to identify ourselves with.

Also i noticed that the BBC is confused, regional programming, anywhere North of Arnold/Hucknall, you get BBC1 in the North and Yorkshire ITV u live in the City its BBC1 in the East mids and Carlton why? shouldnt we be as one county in the same region, either all of us get Look North or either we all get East Mids Today, so lets get together as a county, a region and be proud! Lisa Barrasits 8th June 2002 women's city? I have to go up to Sheffield on occasion to work, but the women are ugly, fat, and if they look a bit pretty, they have ugly tattoos and body jewellery. Nottingham does have lovely women, but I once married one, and she turned nasty, and we divorced. Maybe I will marry again, but next time it’ll be a ugly women from Sheffield! Cool Guy 7th June 2002 Women well being one 'girls' that occupy nottigham i can say that good looking guys are few and far between, i have been searching far and wide for my blonde equal and when i even come close i find they are not even from nottingham!

Sneinton : definition of Sneinton and synonyms of Sneinton (English) 10 External links Description Sneinton Dale is the main connecting road through the district. The area is famous for the windmill which stands on Sneinton Hill, and harbours Green's Windmill and the Science Centre. [1] Near the windmill there used to stand the now-demolished Nottinghamshire County Lunatic Asylum , later a boarding school named King Edwards, and now the location of King Edward Park. King Edwards boarding school was run by famous head master Alfred Tanner and his wife Mary. Many of Sneinton's children were killed in industrial accidents at King Edwards, which stood for 117 years. King Edwards School also employed Sneinton resident Arnold Booth, the infamous murderer who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1977 for the murder of Renee Howard, and rumoured to have murdered Lucy Tinslop, the victim of the infamous 'Birthday girl' murder on the Bath Street rest garden, which took place in 1969.

History The original district of Sneinton was built around the brickworks, founded in the nineteenth century, at the eastern end of Sneinton Dale and most of the existing terraced houses date from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The brickworks themselves, however, have long since been demolished to make way for modern housing. Green's Windmill in Sneinton In 1801 the population of Sneinton stood at just 588. Sneinton was then no more than a village about a mile outside of Nottingham town centre, standing on a high ridge overlooking the valley of the River Trent . Within just 50 years, however, the population had grown to 8,440 (1851 estimate). With the population continuing to rise, Sneinton was officially incorporated into the borough of Nottingham in 1877. By 1901, the population stood at 23,093. During World War II , Sneinton was targeted in air raids. The industrial units on Meadow Lane suffered direct hits. There is a street named 'Notintone' street, which may be the origin of the name Sneinton.

Nottingham first being called SnottingHAM, and the area away from the city inhabited by the local Saxons being called SnottingTON by the Normans. From the mid-20th Century onwards Sneinton absorbed a large influx of immigrants , mainly from the West Indies , India and Pakistan , Bangladesh , Poland and Africa . Sneinton is home to a large Pakistani population, Sneinton Dale (road) and surrounding streets are home to many Pakistanis. The area still retains its multi-cultural flavour, and has a diverse range of restaurants and stores. St. Stephen's Church, Sneinton the medieval parish church of Sneinton Sneinton has recently enjoyed a renaissance, with many of the old Victorian properties being bought and developed by young professionals. Crime remains a problem in the area with an amount of drug-related crime , car and home burglary. Although a few in Nottingham consider Sneinton to be one of the more dangerous and crime-ridden areas in Nottingham, house prices in the area have enjoyed a healthy rise in recent years. Housing is still slightly cheaper in Sneinton than in Nottingham city centre and some other suburbs of the city, although this might change when the planned urban renewal projects around Sneinton start.

[2] [3] [4] [5] Sneinton was the birthplace of the mathematician (And Miller) George Green (born 1793) who lived in a house close to one of the village windmills ; One of which he owned and worked in. also of William Booth , founder of The Salvation Army , and who was born in 1829 in the house which is now The William Booth Birthplace Museum, located on 12 Notintone Place. Another famous son of Sneinton was the bare knuckle boxing champion, Bendigo . A public house in the area still proudly bears a statue of the figure above its door, though is now named "The Hermitage". A more recent Sneinton celebrity is the film director Shane Meadows who lived in Sneinton for many years and filmed some of his early works partly in Sneinton, including Small Town. Sneinton Market Sneinton Market is an open air market in the British tradition; [6] it is situated at the western end of Sneinton, where the district meets the city proper and next to the Nottingham Arena . There are plans to regenerate the market, as a part of the Eastside regeneration project. [7] Already,[ when?

] new businesses have opened up around the market. A European style food market in the area closed in September 2009. Colwick Woods Colwick Woods to the East of Sneinton, is a 50 hectare grassland and ancient woodland site that is a Local Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest . The woodland contains ancient woodland indicator species such as dogs mercury and ramsons . The site is rich in mammal species including both species of pipistrelle and noctule bat . There are many well-maintained a nd waymarked public rights of way spanning the site, with numerous desire paths running through the woods. The woods and meadows are very popular with local people for outdoor activities including walking, mountain biking, and other activities and are a fine example of woodland so close to a city centre. Wheelchair access is only from Greenwood Road to the open grassland at the north end as steep hills are a characteristic feature of most of the site. Greenwood Dale High School shares a boundary with the reserve and educational events have been held in partnership with the school including photographic scavenger hunts and sapling collection. Open days are held in the summer allowing the public to be actively involved with the reserve.

Colwick Woods has an active Friends Group who meet regularly to discuss the condition of the site and carry out practical nature conservation in the woods. Sneinton Festival Sneinton Festival is an event taking place every year in the end of July. The first festival was organised in 1995, and each festival is organised around three individual elements: workshops, a festival week and a carnival day. Workshops are scheduled to take place several weeks before the actual event together with young people, most often in local schools and youth groups. The workshops are based around the years theme, creating artwork, decorations and costumes for the Carnival Parade as well as dance and performance workshops. Apart from the paints, adhesives and tools the artwork is made from scrap material - either from the scrapstores , members donations, or found items. The Festival Group also organises school competitions to produce the years festival logos, publicity, themed stories or other similar material used for, or displayed during, the Festival week. Every year the Festival is organised around a different theme, which is used when producing artwork, costumes, performances and also surrounds many of the events themselves.

Within these themes the group also tries to focus on community issues such as recycling, differing cultures, use and access to the media, or science and technology. 1995 People and Places (World culture) 1996 Old and New (Recycling) 1997 Sneinton-on-Sea (Inner city Seaside) 1998 Planet Sneinton (Sci-Fi & Technology) 1999 One upon a time in Sneinton (World folklore). 2000 Sneinton Millennium (1000 years of people in Sneinton) 2001 Technicolor Sneinton (Colour, patterns and psychedelia) 2002 Magic Sneinton (Magic, conjuring and mystical stories) 2003 Channel Sneinton (TV, Video, film and media) 2004 Sneintopoly (Board games and play from around the world). 2005 (no particular theme) 2007 Earth, Wind, Fire, Water (Green Energy) 2009 'Sneinton's Got Talent' based on well known reality TV show, Britain's Got Talent .

The Festival Week starts on the Saturday prior to the Carnival Day with seven days of events held in and around the area. They included exhibitions, displays, open days, performance, entertainers, socials, food tastings and multi-cultural events run and developed by local groups and organisations under the co-ordination of the festival committee. The events are free and open to everyone and endeavour to reflect the diversity of the local community and represent cultures, age and gender. The Carnival Parade on the Carnival Day includes a variety of floats, fancy dress, costumes, event performers, samba bands, jazz bands, youth bands, dancers, jugglers and clowns. The festival then continues in the Hermitage Square when the carnival parade arrives, and features an afternoon of free and diverse entertainment, including music performers, dance groups, circus performers, fire eaters, jugglers, magicians, puppet shows, poetry readings, story tellers, as well as karate, gymnastic, aerobics and sport displays. There are also lots of refreshment available including Asian, Bosnian, West African, French, Italian and Afro Caribbean food, French Crépes and a traditional cake stall.

The festival is organised by the independent festival committee, a volunteer group made up of local residents, representatives of local organisations, community groups, schools, church, youth and play groups, artists, musicians, performers and local project workers. Since 2002 the group has been supported and co-ordinated by the two workers of the Sneinton Community Project. Sneinton Dragon Sneinton Dragon A statue of a dragon by sculptor Robert Stubley is located by the roadside on Sneinton Hermitage. It was commissioned by Nottingham City Council and was unveiled on November 21, 2006. The dragon stands 7 feet tall, has a wingspan of 15 feet and took 3 months to finish. It is made out of stainless steel. During the Christmas period, somebody puts a Santa hat on the dragon. Unfortunately, the hat always disappears a few days later.
