Broxtowe Borough Council installs its 47th Mayor
Councillor Teresa Cullen was installed as the 47th Mayor of Broxtowe earlier this week (17 May) at the Annual Meeting of Broxtowe Borough Council.
Councillor Cullen, a Labour Party Councillor for Toton, is incredibly passionate about supporting the local area and its people. She has spent her career advocating for young people as a Youth Worker. Over the years, Councillor Cullen has worked in various youth and health work roles, including at QMC, where she set up the very first hospital Youth Club for teenage patients with many different chronic health conditions to have some space of their own to hang out together and get support from youth workers. It was here that Teresa also met her chaplain Paul Waters.

Plans for a state-of-the-art £6.4m community pavilion and young people’s centre for Stapleford unveiled at community drop-in event
Hickings Lane Recreation Ground Sports Pavilion, Thursday 25 May, 2.30pm – 6.30pm.
Exciting plans for a brand-new £6.4m community pavilion and young people’s centre on the Hickings Lane Recreation Ground in Stapleford are being shared with local people at a drop-in event on Thursday 25 May 2023.
The building will be a state-of-the-art, accessible, energy-efficient, multi-use building with recreation and sports grounds that will replace some of the town’s out-of-date community facilities. There will be extra car parking facilities and good improvements to the park.

‘Iron Giant’ celebrated in new exhibition
 A new exhibition will give a fascinating insight into Bennerley Viaduct, one of the most iconic structures in Nottinghamshire, when it opens next month at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum.
‘Bennerley Viaduct, the Iron Giant of the Erewash Valley’ is a pop up exhibition from the Friends of Bennerley Viaduct and charts its incredible history, from the Victorian railway boom, through dereliction, to walking and cycling destination. Learn more about the people and society that created it and the lasting impact it has on the communities Lawrence would have known well.
Alongside the exhibition, there will be a programme of workshops and guided walks, bringing together Lawrence, creative writing, and visits to the viaduct as it is today.
