Union members share their concerns following full list of City Council cuts announced. In response to the full list of cuts different unions attended a ‘Save Our Services’ meeting discussing the effects within different sectors and what they want from the council. Berridge Councillor Shuguftah Quddoos said: “We need to know who the enemy is, as we don’t know what’s coming.” This follows the discussion surrounding the role of the Conservative government in council debt, a £131 billion deficit, from the financial year 2022/23. Liam Colway, a member of Notts TUC, said: “We need to fight the Conservatives and then send the message to any upcoming government to show them we won’t stop fighting until change is made. “Every time I go into the city I see another person living in a cardboard box and it’s not acceptable.” The consensus of the meeting is the complete removal of Tory leaders and their initiatives but don’t want a repeat in Labour leadership as they believe it’s vital to have bette...

Lead By Example: The ActiveKids Movement highlights the 80% decline in fitness children experience during summer break. ActiveKids has announced a three-month campaign starting from April to July 2024 to change children’s lives aged 6-11. As the summer holidays are approaching the new campaign will highlight the importance of reducing screentime whilst increasing physical activity. In the UK, over 70% of young people fail to meet the recommended daily quota of one hour of physical activity, and primary school children experience an 80% decline in fitness during the leisurely summer break. The extended free time associated with holidays contributes to elevated screen time and a sedentary lifestyle. Emily Hazera, director of ActiveKids, said: “Children during the summer holidays spend more time on their devices and less time outside socialising with other children their age; adults in their lives play a vital role in making that positive shift so we want to encourage them to be prese...
