'In the heart of Nottingham lies Bulwell, a community brimming with potential yet yearning for a touch of vibrancy and renewal. "Bulwell in Bloom" is more than just a project; it's a vision for a future where our streets burst with life, our public spaces invite connection, and every corner tells a story of community pride and natural beauty. This initiative is born out of a simple belief: that the environment we live in profoundly impacts our well-being, our relationships, and our opportunities. In recent years, we've watched as Bulwell, like many communities, faced challenges that have dimmed its vibrancy. Yet, within these challenges lies an incredible opportunity—an opportunity to come together, roll up our sleeves, and infuse Bulwell with the energy and life it deserves. "Bulwell in Bloom" aims to revitalise our community spaces, turning neglected areas into vibrant hubs of activity, greenery, and art. Imagine walking through Bulwell and finding community gardens where empty lots once stood, murals that tell our collective stories adorning once-bare walls, and parks that buzz with the laughter of children and the chatter of neighbors. But "Bulwell in Bloom" is about more than just beautification. It's about community empowerment. By involving local residents, schools, and businesses in the transformation process, we're not just changing the physical landscape—we're building a stronger, more connected Bulwell. This project is a catalyst for social cohesion, economic development, and environmental sustainability.' https://gofund.me/91acc3ee

Garden Town partners, East Herts District Council, are to launch a series of community forums that will give residents more information on housing developments planned for the local area. Starting this month, the forums will bring planners, local councillors, developers and residents together under one roof to discuss future plans for East Herts. The Garden Town villages in Gilston will be the first development up for discussion on Tuesday 27 February, 6.30pm to 8.30pm, Gilston and Eastwick Village Hall, CM20 2RB. And you don’t have to be an East Herts resident to attend, anyone living across the wider #Harlow & Gilston Garden Town area or has an interest in the project is welcome on the evening. Further community forums will be held approximately every two months with Stortford Fields, Hert3 and Ware2 all expected to feature this year. Councillor Vicky Glover-Ward, East Herts Executive Member for Planning and Growth, said: “We know that planning is a major area of interest and concern for the residents of East Herts. “That is why improving how we communicate and share information around development is a key priority for our joint administration. “We want people and communities to actively engage in shaping the places where they live, work and play and effective community engagement is key to this.” #transport #housing #newhousing #development #community #environment #greeninfrastructure #infrastructure #planning #publicsector #walking #cycling #travel
