You may have missed the news in the recent Budget that Clifton Town Board will continue to receive up to £20m over the next 10 years (Thank you Minister @AlexJJNorris!).

We are working on future plans but in the meantime the Board is funding the 2024 Christmas Lights event.

[Lilian Greenwood @LilianGreenwood]

Good to be back out on Clifton Grove listening to residents’ concerns alongside @CllrHayleySpain, with help from volunteers @PhilipSpear07 and @Angharad4Labour and fellow councillors @LeslieAyoola and @LindaWoodings.

[Nottingham Labour @ng_labour]

Nottingham Labour is committed to opposing hate and division in our city. We stand united against racism, Islamophobia, and far-right extremism.

Everyone deserves to feel safe in Nottingham and in coming together we continue to stand for unity and inclusion. #NottinghamTogether

[Nottingham Labour @ng_labour]

Nottingham Labour congratulates Sajeeda Rose on her confirmation as the new @MyNottingham Chief Executive at tonight's full council meeting.

Sajeeda has been a much valued Corporate Director here at the council since 2021 & we have every faith in her as our new Chief Executive.

[Hugh Casswell @HughCasswell]

In a passionate speech, former council leader @CllrDavidMellen recalls the shared grief in the aftermath of last year’s Nottingham attacks

He says the families of the three girls killed in Southport last week have had their chance to grieve stolen from them by rioters

[Nottingham Labour @ng_labour]

The emergency motion condemning the far-right violence of the last week was passed unanimously after moving and heartfelt contributions from many members.

Following the passing of the motion, council stood for a three-minute silence to remember the three lives taken in Southport

[Nottingham Labour @ng_labour]

Last night, Full Council approved the Nottingham City Improvement Plan.

The plan will ensure our council:
🚚delivers for Nottingham
🪙 is financially sustainable
🏃and, is well-run with effective processes and systems

[Nottingham Labour @ng_labour]

Nottingham stands united against hate. We utterly condemn the violence on our streets this weekend.

Thank you to @NottsPolice, our city partners and @MyNottingham staff for their steadfast work this weekend keeping everyone safe.

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

They'll tell you voting doesn't make a difference.

But it was a Labour Government that changed my life.

If you want change, vote for it on Thursday.

[Clifton Labour @CliftonLabour]

@larry_turner @NorthfieldCLP Congratulations Larry

[Lilian Greenwood @LilianGreenwood]

Some great conversations and a positive response for @gary_godden @ClaireWard4EM and @UKLabour on a lovely sunny afternoon in #Clifton East. Residents tell us they’re voting #Labour on 2nd May 🌹

[Nottingham Labour @ng_labour]

This would be the "Independent" that is a former UKIP candidate and voted for our motion on Monday, agreeing that "we look forward to a new Labour Government when central and local government will work together to improve the lives of ordinary people."

[Cllr Ethan Radford @Ethan_Radford_]

A no show from the Clifton “Independents” on Friday for the council’s budget consultation

But I suppose when @CllrKevinClarke supports the appointment of commissioners & wants the Tories to make decisions for him he doesn’t really care what residents in Clifton have to say 🤷‍♂️

[Clifton Labour @CliftonLabour]

I think @Ethan_Radford_ you are right. Thank heavens that we have a decent councillor in @CllrHayleySpain who is prepared to put the work in.

[Cllr Ethan Radford @Ethan_Radford_]

As usual, the mask slips & @NottinghamIndep reveal themselves as the rip-off Rishis & tin-pot Tories that they really are

No comment
No ideas
No plan

Thanks goodness residents in Clifton have @CllrHayleySpain to speak up for them when the Clifton “Independents” stay silent

[Clifton Labour @CliftonLabour]

This is the type of reply that the #Clifton Independents send to people who are there colleagues. It really is shameful. Clifton deserves better.

[Cllr Ethan Radford @Ethan_Radford_]

I didn’t think asking if you were going to write to the gov suggesting they don’t suspend local democracy & to better fund the city you represent was too much, & I was trying to be collegiate and non-party political

This was the reply I got from Cllr Clarke ⬇️🤔

[Clifton Labour @CliftonLabour]

It's really sad that the #Clifton Independent Councillors have not got anything to say about the prospect of Commisioners coming in. As residents of Clifton we feel really let down by their lack of commitment to the area. If they are not up to the job they should resign.

[Cllr Ethan Radford @Ethan_Radford_]

Me & @CllrKevinClarke have had our lively run ins in the past but with the serious cuts we’re having to consider, mostly due to the Tory gov cutting £951 per household of funding to Nottm (thanks @nick_raine for the stat), I wrote them a polite email before Christmas ⬇️

[Clifton Labour @CliftonLabour]

On the debate over the serving of the s.114 notice the #Clifton Independent Councillors have nothing constructive to say as Labour's @Ethan_Radford_ demonstates here. Who will defend the vulnerable children, elderly and disabled people from Tory cuts? Not the Independents.

[Cllr Ethan Radford @Ethan_Radford_]

There is a crisis in local government. For 13 years councils in England have been repeatedly & deliberately underfunded.

It has a name: managed decline.

The Clifton Independents claim to be non-party political, but they just do the Tory’s job for them.

Who’s side are they on?

[Dawn Meldrum @DawnmeldrumNCH]

#decentneighbourhoods more upcycling with existing benches, & new planters in @MyCliftonEast Holbrook Court. Residents have already started planting nice before and after photo's @MyNottingham #NCCHousingServices @Bobbychappers @thomas_bow

[Clifton Labour @CliftonLabour]

A great deal of support for #ng_labour tonight in #Clifton East. Thanks to all in the Waterdown Road area who took the time to chat with us.🌹
