The Lady Bay community web site in Nottingham

Home

First launched in 1999, the Lady Bay web site has now had visitors and it keeps rising - and that's just trips to the home page. These number are daft anyway - other ways of counting visits show nearly 40,000 visitors (see the bottom of this page). The numbers of pages read, or at least looked at reaches in to the millions.

Throughout this time the site has been a free facility offered to viewers and posters alike who live or work in the Lady Bay area of West Bridgford in Nottingham (England). In the past year, adverts carried in the Lady Bay Newsletter are also shown here - for a £2.00 fee payable to the LBCA.

Join the Lady Bay EcoTeam

A group of local residents are looking for people to help form an EcoTeam. An EcoTeam is an effective way to reduce your impact on the environment, save money and meet new people.

A team is made up of 6-8 people, led by a facilitator, who meet monthly for 5 meetings to share ideas and work together to learn simple, effective changes leading to a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. The meetings are fun, relaxed and informal.

Please note that Nottinghamshire Police are organising an exposition, which will give you ideas of how to improve your security. This will be held on Tuesday 13 May 2008 at the Village Hotel, off the A6005 Nottingham Road (between Beeston and Long Eaton). Admission is free and the expo is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. There will be exhibitors from various aspects of the security industry so you will be able to discuss your individual needs with a wide variety of experts. You may find the seminar from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. for Neighborhood Watch people about Home Security particularly interesting. Space for that event is limited to twenty p

Dogs, Stray, Stolen or Dangerous

A RINGMASTER MESSAGE

A change in national legislation means that local authorities alone will be responsible for dealing with lost or stray dogs from 6 Apr 2008, ending the current arrangement under which the police and councils shared this task. After 6 Apr 2008 the police will not accept stray dogs at any police stations or take notifications of lost dogs. The police will continue to be responsible for taking action over dangerous dogs and the theft of dogs. Please find below the new arrangements regarding stray dogs and please note these differ from borough to borough.
