Latest news and updates from Safer Housing at Nottingham City Council
We want to hear from everyone, including landlords and private rented tenants, on plans for devolution for Nottingham, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, and Derby.
The deal, which offers the region a package of new powers and funding worth £1.14 billion, or £38 million a year over the next 30 years, has the potential to make a real difference to people’s lives.
Benefits of devolution include:
- More and better housing
- More investment and economic growth
- More and better jobs
- Better transport and skills training
- An enhanced greener environment
Devolution would result in more important decisions being taken in the East Midlands by people who know and understand the region, to bring benefits to people who live in, work in, or visit the area, to improve quality of life.
Devolution would create a new Combined County Authority, with a new directly elected regional mayor covering both counties and cities, with an election taking place in May 2024. Local councils would still exist as individual councils and would work together on a formal and legal basis to improve the region for our communities and businesses.
The consultation closes on Monday 9 January 2023, and this is your opportunity to give us your views.
Over the festive period, bin collection days may change.
To check bin collection days over Christmas and New Year and to download a copy of the bin calendar for your property:
 We all like to recycle as much as we can, but do your tenants know what can be recycled and what cannot this festive season 🎄
🎁 Did you know, not all wrapping paper can be recycled?
✅ Do the scrunch test to find out if your paper can go in your recycling brown bin grey lid.
If it scrunches, it CAN be recycled.
❌ Foil / glitter wrapping paper & Christmas cards CAN'T be recycled
After the festive period, Nottingham City Council can collect and recycle unwanted real Christmas trees for just £5.
The tree will be recycled and the chippings used in Nottingham parks and open spaces.
Tenants should book now, as slots can run out quickly!
Please remind tenants:
- Only 1 tree per household
- The tree must be a real tree
- It should be no bigger than 7ft in height
- if it is bigger, then cut the top off and dispose in the green bin
- All decorations must be removed

Nottingham City Council has a system called Report it, where you can report a number of issues in neighbourhoods.
This could be:
- anti-social behaviour,
- pest issues
- Noise complaints
- bins and waste issues
- street or road issues
- Fly-tipping
- overgrown hedges
- plus many more
If you notice any issues on the road where your property is or in the local neighbourhood, you can report these in one place and this will then passed onto the relevant team in the council to deal with.
To all those who celebrate...
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Safer Housing Team
