Our parks and spaces survey is now open
 We are asking Broxtowe residents to take our 2022 parks and open spaces survey.
Every year we select a number of parks across Broxtowe which we want to ensure meet the “Green Flag” standard, a nationwide scheme which recognises quality Green Spaces. The parks that are selected are surveyed on a rolling basis and on average scored every 3 years unless they fail the required mark at which point they will be scored again the following year.
We want to hear your thoughts on how we can improve signage, cleanliness, planting, facilities and general maintenance in our parks.
Without your feedback from last year’s consultation, the improvements that have been made to our parks wouldn’t have been possible. These include improvements to the drainage and resurfacing at Smithurst Road Open Space, Giltbrook. Play area and path works have also been completed at Inham Nook in Chilwell and Hall Om Wong Open Space in Kimberley. A brand new play area was also installed at Dovecote Lane recreation ground in Beeston.
The survey only takes a few minutes to complete and is open until 30 August 2022 – we really appreciate your feedback.
Open Day for Apprentice Mechanic
 Thursday 14 July 2022 at Kimberley Depot, Eastwood Road, Kimberley, NG16 2HX.
At Broxtowe Borough Council we want to invest in people and help them to reach their full potential by offering opportunities to build their skills and experience. We are holding an open day at the Kimberley depot for those that are interested in applying for our upcoming apprentice mechanic role. People of any age can apply.
We think you should also have the chance to see what you are applying for, to see where you would be working (if successful) and have the chance to ask those people that are performing the jobs right now what they think about the role.
To book a time slot for 09:00, 10:00, 11:00, 13:00 please contact Nicky Smith at nicky.smith@broxtowe.gov.uk.
