Local bin men star in Broxtowe awareness campaign
Three much-loved local refuse collectors are the stars of a new campaign to increase recycling in Broxtowe.
Recycling rates in the Broxtowe Borough Council area are currently at 36% and with the Council’s commitment of reaching the national recycling rate target of 50% by 2027, its new drive, launched during Recycle Week 2024, aims to promote simple tips and advice to help residents recycle right.

Light up the festive season with us! Christmas is coming to Broxtowe
 Save the dates in November for a wonderful start to Christmas. The much loved Christmas Lights Switch On events are returning and are a must for all the family.
Residents can enjoy Christmas stalls, community groups, street entertainment, food, fair rides, face painting, live music and more. Santa will also be back to meet children in his Christmas Grotto, with the return of accessible sensory sessions and walk-in sessions.
The events will include a spectacular firework display as a finale.
Wall insulation project helps reduce energy expenses for local Broxtowe Homes
 Works have been progressing to install wall insulation to 84 properties across Broxtowe, with the majority being located on Princes and Wellington Street in Eastwood, an area of conservation known for their Victorian terraced housing.
Cricket club bowled over by Shared Prosperity Fund grant for new equipment
Broxtowe Borough Council’s grant award of £5,189 to Attenborough Cricket Club means they can expand to meet demand from their women and junior players as well as other club members.
The club has purchased new pitch covers and additional batting cages that will improve the capacity of their pitch at The Strand. The covers will protect the new hybrid surface and the existing grass square. The grant was made possible through the UK Shared Prosperity Funding (UKSPF) from the UK Government.

Hate Crime Awareness Week
This week was National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
What is hate crime?
Any incident which is perceived by the victim or any other person, as being motivated by prejudice or hate is a hate crime.
How can I report it?
- Call our Equality and Diversity Officer on 0115 917 3712
- Report it online at report-it.org.uk
- For less urgent reporting, call Nottinghamshire Police on 101 to speak to trained officers in confidence
- In an emergency, call the police on 999
Everybody has a role to play in tackling hate and discrimination and in promoting communities which are safe for all.
