    Plans have been submitted for a new £3.6m primary school in Hucknall which is being built to cope with demand when 900 new homes are built in the area.

    The local democracy reporting service says the school will have places for up to 210 pupils and is expected to be open by September next year.

    It's being built on the former Rolls-Royce site off Watnall Road.

    Chairman of the county council's children and young people's committee, Councillor Philip Owen, had previously said the new free school was "essential" as five existing schools in Hucknall had already created an extra 420 places for pupils following a rise in new houses in the last five years.

    The location of BBC Radio Nottingham's giant robin as part of the Hoodwinked art trail has been revealed.

    More than 30 brightly-decorated robins have been made for the trail which launches in July with each bird sponsored by a local organisation.

    And the BBC's, which features names of famous people from the city, will be sat on Weekday Cross near the Nottingham Contemporary.

    Hoodwinked

    Nigel Hawkins, head of culture at Nottingham City Council, said they had seen from similar trails in Bristol and Birmingham that there is a demand for them and they hope it will encourage tourism to Nottingham over the summer.

    He added: "People will see them decorated in a variety of different designs and materials and it will give people a fun trail to find where they are in the city through the apps."

    Once the display ends in September the birds will be auctioned off to raise money for the Nottinghamshire Hospice.

  15. Anti-Semitic singer called songs 'satire'published at 10:58 British Summer Time 25 May 2018

    BBC News

    A Derbyshire folk singer who sang songs questioning the Holocaust and performed for far-right groups has been convicted of uploading grossly offensive material online.

    Alison Chabloz, 54, from Charlesworth, near Glossop, posted the videos on Youtube in which she mocked Holocaust survivors figures Anne Frank and Elie Wiesel.

    She sang about the murder of six million Jews during World War II being "just a bunch of lies" and called the Auschwitz death camp a "theme park", but said her music was "satire" and Jewish people found her songs funny.

    However, prosecutors argued they were "criminally offensive".

    Today at Westminster Magistrates' Court she was convicted of two counts of sending by a public communications network an offensive, indecent or menacing message or material in relation to two of the three songs.

    District Judge John Zani said the offences were "serious" and he will sentence her this afternoon.

    Robert Adlington said drug use in the prison was "rife" especially the drug mamba. He claims to have witnessed seeing one user bite the top off a razor and start cutting his arms.

    Despite being a prison "newbie" and never having been in trouble with the law before Robert said no one in authority at the prison even asked him if he was alright.

    The government insists it is taking action to improve safety at Nottingham Prison after the chief inspector said the death rate was "tragic and appalling".

    The case against Mr Adlington was dropped when new evidence came to light, prompting Derbyshire Police to refer itself to the independent regional review team.

    Det Ch Supt Kem Mehmet said: “Once the review is complete, we will ensure that any lessons are learned. We would welcome the opportunity to discuss the situation with Mr Adlington directly should he wish to do so.”
