Council to look at extending tram network

BBC News
Nottingham City Council is to spend £200,000 on evaluating whether they can extend the city's tram network.
The authority said they have commissioned a study to look at a number of potential new routes, including to the HS2 hub at Toton.
However it said priority will be given to an extension from the current Clifton stop to a new housing development off the A453 where up to 3,000 new homes are being planned for land at Fairham Pastures.
More than 160 Green Flag awards have been handed out to parks across the East Midlands this year.
Keep Britain Tidy says there has been a "record number of accolades" across the country and recipients this year also include cemeteries and a crematorium.
Others to get the award in Nottinghamshire include Highfield Park, Green's Windmill and Bulwell Hall park.

Government urged to call time on cheap booze
Amy Orton
Local Democracy Reporter
Health bosses, politicians and police in Leicester are backing calls for a minimum price on alcohol sold in England.
The officials on the city council's health and wellbeing board have signed a letter to the Home Secretary Sajid Javid urging the government to introduce minimum unit pricing, similar to the scheme in Scotland.

Deputy city mayor Adam Clarke, who chairs the board, said: "Targeting those consuming harmful amounts of alcohol is key, as currently about 4% of the population are drinking just under a third of all the alcohol consumed in the country.
"A minimum unit price of 50p per unit would reduce alcohol consumption among some of the most vulnerable, without having a significant impact on moderate drinkers."
Public Health England has estimated that over 20 years, a 50p minimum price per unit of alcohol could reduce healthcare costs by £1.3billion.
Work to improve Nottinghamshire County Council's headquarters has gone over budget - for a third time.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service reports the council was granted £1.3m in February 2015 to demolish offices next to County Hall, known as the CLASP building.
However, a year later, an additional £600,000 was approved for the project and then £16,000 was granted - taking the total budget to £1.9m.
Now, it has been revealed the final expenditure is at more than £2m.

Conservative councillor Richard Jackson called the overspend "unacceptable" He said: "The previous Labour administration failed to take into account a number of factors in their original costings, all of which have increased expenditure, at a time when this council can scarcely afford to be going over budget."
The original work was approved by a Labour administration in 2015. The now Tory-run authority has plans to build new offices on the space of the former CLASP building, which it hopes will generate income for the authority.
It blamed the overspend on several factors including extra works not initially accounted for and problems with a feasibility study.

City's specialist children's services called 'weak'
Sandish Shoker
BBC News
The services provided to children in Leicester with special educational needs or disabilities has been branded "weak" in a new report.
The Care Quality Commission and Ofsted carried out a joint inspection between April and May, and criticised the city council and the city's CCG (Clinical Commissioning Group) for it's education, health and care plans.
Their report also said leaders do not have "a clear strategy of how they are going to
improve outcomes for children and young people" and the transition for young people into adult health services
needed "significant development".
BBCCopyright: BBC
The Local Democracy Reporting Service says the two organisations now need to submit a 'statement of action' by September to show how they will improve.
Ivan Bowne, from Leicester City Council, said: "The report is very useful and shines a light on some issues we're looking at already.
"Lots of this is more about education than health so we are aware of where changes need to be made."
