Sim Duhra, our
Waste Education and Promotions Officer, is working
with the Red Cross to help spread our messages on waste and recycling.
Sim
will be engaging with citizens at the Tuesday Night Welcome Group
(funded by the Red Cross) which welcomes new Asylum Seekers and Refugees
to the city.
Over
100 people attended the Spring Nowruz Party where Sim spoke with new citizens
on issues such as how to use bins, bins on streets, bulky waste collections and
contamination issues. Volunteers also support the sessions by
translating/interpreting Sim's conversations.
Sim
is hoping this work will help support engagement work with new citizens around
our waste and recycling policies to help the work of our front line services
and keep Nottingham clean.
If you know of a school or community group that
could link up with Sim's work, please contact her on 0115 876 5649 or email sim.duhra@nottinghamcity.gov.uk

 Our Neighbourhood Development Officers and Street Scene Teams have been working hard improving your neighbourhoods by carrying out Week of Actions and Deep Cleans as well as their day to day cleansing and maintenance work:
St Ann's: Working in partnership with Community Protection, the Neighbourhood Watch Group and Traffic Enforcement, our teams carried out a Week of Action on Bluecoat Street. Our Street Scene Team did a fantastic job of cleaning the area and carrying
out a general clean of the estate. They have also repaired the fencing in the
car park adjacent to the public footpath.
Dunkirk and Lenton: A Day of Action made a visible difference to the neighbourhood, including planting up the Willoughby Street Planters, a collection of bulky waste and deep cleans of streets.
Basford: Our team deep cleaned the area around Basford United Football Club including Mill Street playing fields. This included paths around the site, the River Leen paths and parts of the Birds Estate. Over the next few weeks new bins will also be installed along the River Leen path.
