  1. Found the below after searching, on KEY. AERO and from Railsroadsrunways blog,
  2. Dixon and Parker was the school outfitters.
  3. This is what the Commissioners will be doing, (from Nottm City Council website) The Government has announced that Commissioners are to be appointed for Nottingham City Council. The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) has confirmed that the Secretary of State, after considering representations and all other developments since his ‘minded to’ proposals, has decided to appoint Commissioners for the council. The Lead Commissioner for Nottingham will be Tony McArdle OBE who was previously Lead Commissioner at the former Northamptonshire County Council
  4. The boundaries are also regularly changed in the U.K to keep the number of registered voters per ward as equal as possible. I'm in Nottingham North which is now changing to Nottm North and Kimberley as the numbers in Nottm North have dropped below the minimum. Will it make a difference and get Labour out who have been in seemingly for ever, not a chance. If 43% got the Conservtives in and 43% got Labour in, then even if 100% voted the outcome would still be the same.
  5. I was aware of talk of proposals for the East Midlands amalgamation and now assume that I must have thought that others, not the residents would be making the decision. I must have been asleep between November 2022 and Jan 2023 as I don't remember any mention or any contact by anyone or by letter of any link to the consultation website, which I've just found. Obviously the Have your say section has now been disabled / removed. https://www.eastmidlandsdevolution.co.uk/ I wonder if the result had gone against, the 4 authorities would have suddenly started pushing f
  6. The old Central Police Station and Fire station are NOT being demolished. It's been mis reported somewhere and picked up by others. The Grade 2 listing remains on both parts, as it still does on the Guildhall. The City council have had to reduce the sale price to Miller Birch for the whole site as development of the Fire / Police Station area will be more expensive as it will have to take account of the Listing. Presumably it will still be for students but with far fewer units. Development of the Guildhall Hotel with the additional tower block behind it stands as was pre
  7. Sytners old place on Huntingdon St, without a doubt. Trumans just off to the left.
  8. When I originally viewed DJ's response it went down and out the box through the bottom lines of the page and into the beyond. The strange thing was it let me scroll down through it all to the end. I'm on a P.C, I don't know if it would have allowed that on a tablet.
  9. I'm sorry to have to report that I have now been in another McD, Castle Marina, with a former work colleague who was visiting the area for a meeting, fortunately only for Tea / Coffee. There was very little choice in the area, we would have gone into Sainsburys Cafe but along with the majority of their other Cafes around the country it's been closed. Pizza Hut was the next choice but they hadn't opened at the time we were there, 10.30am.
  10. After years of streamlining the fronts of cars and making them more pedestrian safe in the event of contact, including shock absorbing bonnets with explosive lifters, greater clearance under the bonnet to allow it to collapse etc, the trend now is the style and size of vehicle above, 4x4 style, which I believe, like vans and lorries are allowed to be less pedestrian friendly. Get hit by the thing above and you'll flattened back onto the road and run over, and squahed, instead of being safely lifted onto the bonnet.
  11. The Range bought the Wilko brand name and website etc and will be selling Wilko branded goods along with their own in Range stores. They may open up some dedicated Wilko Brand shops.
  12. Comet Madford Pk has been B&M for a good while and according to local info on a Facebook group the old Wilkos / Sainsbury on Front St is being fitted out for B&M to open after Xmas.
  13. Can't see Monday's photo either, If I click the link it's blank on the hosting site.
