Five new hedgehog habitat boxes installed across Beeston Rylands
 The five habitat houses were successfully added at suitable locations thanks to Notts Green Rewards, after residents were given the chance to vote on a choice of animal houses. Populations of these wonderful spikey mammals have declined in the past two decades. By providing these additional habitat boxes, five new safe and sheltered places have been created allowing local populations to nest and/or hibernate in, helping to maintain and increase their populations.

This week is National Hate Crime Awareness Week
This week is National Hate Crime Awareness Week.
But what is a hate crime?
It’s any crime motivated by hostility or prejudice to someone’s:
- Race
- Religion
- Sexual orientation
- Disability
- Transgender identity
… where any of these are true or just suspected by the offender.
Always report a hate crime when you see it, whether you’re the victim or if you witness one taking place. Do so by:
- Calling Nottinghamshire Police on 101, or 999 in an emergency
- Calling Broxtowe Borough Council’s Equality and Diversity Officer on 0115 917 3712
- Reporting online via True Vision: www.report-it.org.uk/home
