I was told before Nottinghamshire County Council’s meeting today media had to sit upstairs - we usually sit in the chamber. No solid reason why. Reports of several empty seats in the chamber - random. We’ve argued it. Told I’ll be allowed back in after lunch. #LDReporter

Hearing this is only temporary, and my colleague @laurenamonaghan is able to watch the meeting from a room nearby, but I also understand there are indeed enough seats in the chamber. There's a specific bench for the press. It should remain that way.

Reform BAN the Press from the Council Chamber in Nottingham Nottinghamshire Alliance raise the issue and are told we are ‘attacking’ the Chair It’s always been the case that the press are in the chamber, this retrograde step is another attack on the press by Nottm Reform

The Green Party, under its new leader @ZackPolanski, has seen its membership numbers soar nationally. But is the picture as positive in Nottingham and the wider East Midlands? I found out... #ICID=Android_NottinghamPostNewApp_AppShare" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nottinghampost.com/news/local-new…

A response to an FOI I submitted concerning the costs of a 'one in a lifetime' power outage at Nottingham City Council's Loxley House has revealed a £50,000 cost to the taxpayer... #LDReporter bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

It's understood the decision was made as the number of opposition groups has grown, with leadership believing it is essential that Executive Board doesn’t become unwieldy or duplicate other committees - to focus on its core function. Opposition can still sit on other committees.

Nottingham's Labour Group had an informal agreement to allow opposition cllrs to sit on a key committee - but since the defection of several Labour cllrs, it has rescinded it. @kirstyljones described it as an "attempt to prevent proper scrutiny". google.com/amp/s/www.nott…

Just read this piece in the print edition of @LeftLion. Remarkable stat in that only 8% of the countryside is free for access. Important we're able to roam, particularly w/so many in dark sky poverty. Found a spot in the Peaks recently and saw the Milky Way for the first time!

The Nottinghamshire Reform ban of Notts Live and LDRS reporters is currently being discussed at Full Council now. It concerns a free press motion that was due to be discussed weeks ago, before the ban was lifted. #LDReporter youtube.com/live/TPLsqJcxN…

I'm at the first full meeting of Nottingham City Council ever since a number of Labour cllrs quit to create @NottmPA. The newly formed group is now the opposition. #LDReporter

You may have heard Little John sound out across Nottingham at midday - having been quiet since September. That's because the clock and its 1,000-plus parts have now been removed, painstakingly serviced, and put back together again. Full story @nottslive soon.

Hidden behind budget lines detailing cuts across councils and the NHS are families at breaking point.  I visited one family stuck in an unending battle with a fragmented, funding-starved system, trying to get their disabled daughter the care she needs. nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…

Enjoyed writing this piece up👇 Beeston has been evolving into its own 'bohemian' scene, says one cllr. But is the town too crowded with students? Some residents think so. Others champion the diversity and vibrancy👇 #comments-wrapper" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nottinghampost.com/news/local-new… #LDReporter

Some reaction after six Nottingham city councillors formed a new group - @NottmPA - in protest over Labour's direction of travel nationally and locally. #LDReporter Nottingham Labour defections show ‘divisions have boiled over’ #ICID=Android_NottinghamPostNewApp_AppShare" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nottinghampost.com/news/nottingha…
