A joint statement from Nottingham city’s MPs on the City Ground redevelopment plans:

Alex Norris MP @alexjjnorris.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

The Prime Minister and I are clear that people responsible for taking a life, or for appalling crimes against children, should be kept behind bars for longer.  We are also going to put offenders under much tougher controls when they leave prison. www.gov.uk/government/n...

I dropped into Nottingham City Gymnastics at Sixways Community Centre on the Broxtowe Estate. It’s amazing that we have a club with British Gymnastics qualified coaches right in the heart of the community, but I think that they might have their work cut out with me.

The by-election for Leen Valley’s new councillor is just a week away. Labour’s Abbas Hussain is a fantastic, hard-working candidate, and I know he will serve the Leen Valley well. If you want a serious representative who lives in the community, vote for Abbas on Thursday 20th August.

Labour is focused on helping out with the cost of living this summer. That’s why the Government and East Midlands Mayor Claire have come together to give under 18s travel free on buses all this month! Go to nctx.co.uk/Great-British-Summer-Savings to find out more.

Yesterday I welcomed Sixth Formers from the constituency to my first Summer School, where they learnt about Parliament and the role of MPs and their offices. It was a brilliant day and the students asked really insightful questions.

It was brilliant to help Abbas Hussain launch his campaign for the Leen Valley by-election yesterday. The election will be on 20th August - Abbas has really hit the ground running.

Andy has wasted no time in tackling the cost of living. This week Labour have announced that we'll be cutting VAT from electricity bills, capping bus fares at £2, and cutting rates for pubs and clubs by 20%.

It was a privilege to be asked to speak at the opening of Bulwell Arts Festival’s Global Day recently. The Bulwell Arts Festival events are always a fantastic day out and a highlight of the Bulwell calendar. A huge thank you to everyone who made it possible!

Alex Norris MP @alexjjnorris.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

This week's announcement will give us councils that match the shape of how people live. By replacing three tiers of council with one, people in Nottinghamshire will receive better services and will be better able to hold their politicians to account.

It was wonderful to be invited to join Rumbletums for their 15th birthday celebrations. Rumbletums is a real Kimberley institution not just for the training they provide but also for giving the community a place to come together. Here’s to the next 15!

Alex Norris MP @alexjjnorris.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

Tomorrow is Global Day from Bulwell Arts Festival. Come down to Bulwell Hall Park, off Squires Avenue, NG6 8LF, from 1 pm tomorrow for crafts, music, free books and urban bushcraft! I’ll see you there!

It was a pleasure to be invited to the 7th Nottingham Barrio Fiesta along with the Sheriff of Nottingham. Nottingham’s Filipino community always throw an amazing event and this year was no different, and it’s wonderful to get an opportunity to celebrate their contributions to our city.

Alex Norris MP @alexjjnorris.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

June’s Pride in Place family fun day was a great day out, with food, crafts, bouncy castles and tons of excitement about the £20m funding that we’re getting from the government. There were lots of conversations and great ideas about how this money can be used in our community.

Alex Norris MP @alexjjnorris.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Labour is extending national licensing hours so all pubs can stay open for the England match on Monday morning, without having to go through all the red tape. For a 1am kick-off, pubs can stay open to 5 am without asking permission.

Conversion ‘therapy’ is abuse, trying to force LGBT+ people to change who they are. This pride month, Labour is bringing legislation to close loopholes, to ban conversion practices and protect LGBT+ people from abuse.

This Saturday there’s a big community fun day at Woodfield Park on Broxtowe Estate to celebrate the government’s Pride in Place funding, bringing £20m to the area. Come along 12-3pm for music, arts & crafts, pizza and a chance to share your ideas on how the money should be used.

It was great to join local Bulwell Forest councillors at the opening of the new play park on Rise Park. Even better was to hear Councillor Sam Gardiner announce £100k in funding that the local councillors have secured for brand new play equipment.

Labour’s plan to cut illegal immigration is working. Arrests linked to immigration crime are up by 55%, and we’ve removed over 70,000 people with no right to be here.

If you live or work around Bulwell, you might have seen this pile of fly-tipping, on the River Leen between Tesco and Montague Street. Bulwell deserves better, so I worked with your local Bulwell councillors to get it cleared up and back to an acceptable standard.

The Field in Strelley was an open cast mine, but hard work has turned it into one of our best sites for biodiversity. It was great to be shown the ponds, wildflower meadow and hundreds of trees that have brought nature back. Find out about volunteering at fieldstrelley.org

Labour is investing £20m in Aspley, and how it's spent will be decided by a board of residents. I joined the new chair of the board, Dave Tantum, for a walk through the estates to hear his thoughts. If you want to get involved click below and let them know! tinyurl.com/ykxwxa9v

Labour has already passed 50 new laws to tackle the cost of living, empower local communities and get a better deal for working people. In today’s King’s Speech we’re going further, with action on energy bills, national security, and making public services fit for the future.

Seven and a half years ago, I first introduced a bill to Parliament to make assault of retail workers a specific crime. It’s been a long road but I’m incredibly proud that today our campaign has been successful, and this has become law.

Recently I met with working barristers as well as the Chair and other leaders from the Bar Council, for a visit to Nottingham Crown Court. It was incredibly valuable to hear directly from the front line about what support they need from the government.

Our landmark deal with France will be based on results. For the first time ever, extra funding will be tied to real outcomes. We’re putting more boots on the ground and stepping up maritime tactics to stop illegal taxi boats. If it doesn’t work, we won’t fund it.
