Record breaking facilities at Harvey Hadden
The athletics track at Harvey Hadden stadium has achieved a category A classification for the first time following certification by UK Athletics.
The Amateur Swimming Association also recently undertook a site visit to certify that the 25m short course and 50m pools meet the required length criteria for world records to be broken.
This means both the stadium and pool can accommodate competitions at all levels; from international to grass roots events.
Rogue landlords fined for putting students at risk
Two rogue landlords who put profit before safety have been fined a total of £16,400 for safety breaches which put their student tenants at risk.
Landlords Mr Irfan Tariq and Mrs Sajadah Tariq of Elm Bank, Mapperley, were taken to court by Nottingham City Council’s Safer Housing Team for failing to licence student flats in Corporation Oaks, St Ann’s and for fire safety failings.
