Everyone is talking about it & we will too at 1pm. How does it change the rest of the season? Is the appeal just for show or will a rabbit be pulled out of an expensive lawyers hat? Is this the end of City in the Premier League for a while? Definitely Maybe … #NFFC

www.transportnottingham.com/lets-get-bac... Some sound common sense advice in here on a subject that’s an issue around most schools. In Wollaton we have problems at Fernwood & Middleton schools. Finding effective solutions isn’t easy. As Cllrs we continue to work with parents, residents & schools.

#NFFC first 5 games been a mixed bag. Things seemed to click at Liverpool & Villa. Home form fairly dire. Two 1-0 defeats from what were in all likelihood 0-0 ones. The ‘high bar’ to overturn goals by VAR doesn’t seem to apply at the City Ground. Glasner project will take time. We need patience.

Have you been to the Walled Garden at Wollaton Park? Seeing is believing. An incredible space that was derelict a few years ago has been transformed into an oasis by the hard work & dedication of @fowp.bsky.social give yourself a treat & take a look.

Steve Battlemuch @stevebattlemuch.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

At the council meeting today I’ve spoken about the need to continue to work towards a rationalisation of local govt structures. I urged the council to dispel the misinformation given about the cities finances. We need fit for purpose structures for the next generation, not more of the status quo

All this talk of an extra bridge crossing needed … easy, expand the @trentnavigation.bsky.social towards the Trent & build the bridge directly into the ground. (I’m only half joking 😉). OK it’s not real is it but once planning is agreed then all stakeholders need to sort out the transport issues.

Just a reminder that those who defend 2 tier councils often talk about how local decision making matters. Trouble is the districts control less than 10% of the overall budget. They are obviously comfortable with 90% of the budget being controlled by county Cllrs. 1/2

If you like Wollaton Park, you’ll love @fowp.bsky.social - their AGM tonight highlighted again the incredible work they do. Always a pleasure to play a small part in their progress - even if sometimes it’s just encouraging people to join them for £5 a year. They have a great volunteer program too

Another great awayday at Anfield. The #nffc record there in the past 3 seasons is won 2, drawn 1. So much for Fortress Anfield! Always surprised about how quiet it is for most of the game. Maybe it’s different if they are winning?

#BookSky - my summer reading is a bit different to a normal light breezy novel. It’s totally based on facts but reads like a novel, just like @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social previous one - The Escape Artist. It’s not morbid to read about what happened in Germany in the 30’s/40’s - it’s essential.
