  • Full house for Nottingham City Council's first ever call-in sub committee: closure of Radford Unity Complex. #
  • LD Cllr Long asking about timelines. How come 90 day notice to leave was given to orgs before decision to close was made? #
  • Call in meeting only just finished, I hear by text message. I had to leave hours earlier for a residents meeting and have just got home. #
  • @NCCLols the rules for call in used to pretty much exclude it ever happening. Following our input the rules have been relaxed a bit. in reply to NCCLols #
  • @andershanson you can get Sainsbury's Basics Camembert :) in reply to andershanson #
