    Almost 1,600 people have so far had their say on the plan to set up a new council for Nottinghamshire, and abolish the existing ones.

    The plan, which has been put forward by the Conservative-run county council, would see all seven district and borough councils, and the county council itself, abolished.

    One, or two new "super councils" would then be set up. These would either cover all of Nottinghamshire - apart from Nottingham city - or there would be one for the north and one for the south of the county.

    Throughout October, an independent social research company, ORS is working on behalf of the county council to gather the views of residents, businesses, councils and other interested parties.

    The response to the questionnaire was much greater than the county council anticipated.

    The council will consider responses to this first phase of public engagement at a full council meeting on 13 December, when they will decide whether or not to pursue a preferred option for change.

  20. Sex abuse inquiry told 'untrusted children' targetedpublished at 15:56 British Summer Time 23 October 2018

    BBC News

    The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse (IICSA) has heard some Nottinghamshire children may have been targeted because they had criminal records or mental health problems.

    In explaining why only a small proportion of cases were prosecuted, senior prosecutor Sue Matthews, said it was possible abusers could have deliberately targeted victims who wouldn't be seen as credible.

    She told the hearing when a decision was made on whether to prosecute, she would usually be guided by whether there was a realistic prospect of conviction, irrespective of whether the abuse did or didn't happen.

    The inquiry also heard from Steve Edwards, from Nottinghamshire County Council's children and families department, who admitted mistakes were made in dealing with revelations about abusive foster carers in Mansfield.

    He said: "There was a failure of the service to do its job properly. You've got to change the culture."

    Mr Edwards added more checks and balances had been put in place since then.
