Nottingham City Council Housing Services

We're developing a new Landlord Strategy that's our plan for how we'll manage council housing over the coming years.

We want to know what you think of it, as it outlines how your housing services will be delivered.

Click on the link below to read a summary of the strategy, to download a draft version of the full strategy and to give your views by completing a short online form.

As a thank you, we'll put every Nottingham City Council Housing Services resident who gives us their views, and opts in, into a draw to win a £100 shopping voucher.

You have until Friday 31 July to tell us what you think. Thank you.

Joanne Miladinovic of Aspley was the winner of the Best small / container garden category at last year's Best Garden Competition.

Remember, you don't need to have a large garden - or a garden at all to enter this category! If you've got a balcony area, pots or containers outside your front door - or even if you're growing plants indoors - this category is just for you!

With household budgets continuing to face pressure, many people are understandably looking for ways to reduce their energy bills.

At Nottingham on Call, we understand that every penny counts. But we want to reassure you that your care alarm is one of the cheapest devices to run in the home – and it’s vital that you always keep it on to keep you safe.

We held a very successful community action day in Hyson Green on Wednesday (3 June) - working with our housing teams, Community Protection and the police following concerns raised by local Neighbourhood Representative volunteers around issues of ASB and fly-tipping.

We also teamed up with our Neighbourhood Reps and Clean Champions for a community litter pick. And our Green Spaces team did an excellent job clearing a communal area that had become neglected and overgrown - check out the before and after pics!

We'll be talking with residents about potential improvements now that the space has been cleared to see how it can be better used.

Huge thank you to everybody involved in making the day a success.

Nottinghamshire Police has launched a survey to find out what issues matter most to people in Nottingham city centre and where people want them to focus their efforts.

Operation Reclaim is a multi-agency initiative tackling issues including youth ASB, drug dealing, aggressive begging, rough sleeping, weapon-carrying, illegal e-bikes and retail crime.

The feedback they receive will directly influence how they police and improve Nottingham city centre. Please take the time to give your views by completing the survey here: https://survey.nottsalerts.co.uk/Survey/REGISTRATION/B3E3F3AF9F9DC92ED5C9E235BEFDBB0D

The closing date is Friday 19 June.

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al-Adha over the coming days! 🌙🤍

For anyone unfamiliar, Eid al-Adha is one of the biggest celebrations in Islam — a time of faith, sacrifice, gratitude, charity, and coming together with family and community.

Wishing everyone celebrating a day full of love, good food, and quality time with the people who matter most ✨
