The latest Nottingham services reopening as lockdown restrictions eased

From library services and outdoor playgrounds to the Queen's Drive Park and Ride site, a number of Nottingham services are reopening following the latest Government easing of lockdown restrictions.

A range of Nottingham City Council services have already re-opened, such as the Household Waste and Recycling Centre in Lenton, bulky and garden waste services, pest control and Woodthorpe Grange Plant Shop.

And from Monday, July 6, the city council began to re-open more services, such as outdoor playgrounds and outdoor gym equipment, a phased re-opening of some library services, and the Queen’s Drive Park and Ride (for the number 49 bus service only).

City Council leader, councillor David Mellen, said: “We have closely followed national guidance on when services can reopen during the Covid-19 pandemic.

"While it is important we re-open services to benefit our citizens and the city, we know it is vital to do this as safely as possible to protect services users as well as our staff.

“We have very robust processes in place to assess how services can reopen and be delivered as safely as possible.

"Due to these, some services will have certain restrictions and some will have phased re-openings across the next few months.

“We thank our citizens and members of the public for their patience with service re- openings and hope they understand the importance of following restrictions during this time.

"We hope during the next few weeks we can look to re-start more services in line with the latest Government guidelines."
