On Saturday 3rd March, Nottingham Refugee Forum (NNRF) held a ‘Living Ghosts’ vigil outside St Peters Church in town. The ‘Solidarity Sisters’ joined the vigil, asking passers-by to add their own paper ‘shopping bag’ to a display with a wish list of what they would need if they were starting a new life in a new country.

Nottingham city centre is one of the most heavily surveyed places on the face of the earth, outside of London. All in aid of 'crime reduction policies' they say.

The Chief Executive of Nottingham City Council, Mr Gordon Mitchell, came on a tour of Radford district of Nottingham on Monday morning. While in the area, he, and a couple of councilors, dropped by at the ASBO squatted centre on Burns Street, for a bit of a chat.

People protested the illegal deportation of a 20-year-old Afghani refugee at Nottingham Magistrates Court, 9.30 - 10.30am this morning [Thursday].

On Wednesday evening at the Greenway Centre, Trent Road, Sneinton, the police challenged the local youths to a football match. It was played with some enthusiasm ..... :-)

In their latest issue of the bi-monthly mag, 'Front Page', they've given the ASBO squat on Burns Street, a bit of write up.

Nottingham City Council has announced a new measure to reduce the 'problem of begging' on Nottinghams streets. A press release given out yesterday (Feb 27th) states: 'Nottingham City Council is urging members of the public to help them eliminate begging in the city by erecting signs in begging hotspots telling them to call the anti-social behaviour helpline if they see individuals begging'

The Council's 'respect for Nottingham' website states: The aim of the Respect for Nottingham strategy is to clean up the City’s streets, take an uncompromising stand against begging, street prostitution and drug dealing and demonstrate that Nottingham is not a soft touch for those bent on criminality and damaging the quality of life in the city. Interesting how they consider begging as 'criminal' and damaging the quality of life for others...

The content of this lot shows that CM is important for local transport, personal fitness, safer cities. Right up to the global scale of stuff with pollution, climate change, big business.

CM is just yet another manifestation of the [very] old adage

"Think Globally -- Act Locally" I think it is important that we do so act locally!

Saturday afternoon saw the first stage, of layout and 'sketch-in', of an illustation on the walls of the ASBO Centre at 35 Burns Street, Nottingham.
