Nottingham City Council has issued a section 114 notice, in effect declaring itself bankrupt.
The Labour-run council attributed its financial problems to issues affecting councils across the country but also acknowledged an overspend in the past financial year played a part. It said it still had sufficient financial resources to meet all of its current obligations.

This govt will be rubbing its hands, having engineered this crisis.

»Umweltgruppen geht das neue Klimaschutzgesetz allerdings nicht weit genug. So fordert "German Zero Hamburg" ein knallhartes Paket: eine City-Maut innerhalb des Rings 2 und eine Solardach-Pflicht für bestehende Parkplätze. Außerdem müssten größere Vermieter und Vermieterinnen den Behörden nachweisen, wie sie ihre Wohnungen bis zum Jahr 2034 CO2-frei versorgen.«

Das ist allerdings kein "knallhartes Paket", sondern das sind Maßnahmen, um ein pariskonformes #CO2Budget einzuhalten. Der Hochlauf der Erneuerbaren muss beschleunigt werden und im Verkehrs- und Gebäudesektor sinken die #Emissionen in #Hamburg ,wie auch bundesweit, nicht schnell genug.

Durch zunehmenden #Pendelverkehr sind sie im #Straßenverkehr im Vergleich zum vor-Corona-Jahr sogar leicht gestiegen. Mit einer #CityMaut, deren Einnahmen zweckgebunden für den Ausbau des #ÖPNV in den Randgebieten verwendet werden, sowie mit verpflichtenden Mobilitätskonzepten für große Einrichtungen könnte eine Trendumkehr erreicht werden.

Andere Städte wie #London, #Stockholm #Singapur, #Nottingham machen es vor und sind dabei erfolgreich. Da der Stau in den Stoßzeiten dadurch verringert bzw. parallel das ÖPNV-Angebot verbessert wird, kommen die Maßnahmen allen zugute und genießen dort eine hohe gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz, auch wenn die Ablehnung z.B. einer City-Maut seitens der Autofahrenden auch in London und Stockholm anfänglich hoch war.

From Five Leaves bookshop, info about a Nottingham peace vigil, Sunday:

"This Sunday, 12th Nov, there will be a silent vigil, from 4.00-5.00, at the Robin Hood Statue, just below the Nottm Castle entrance, following this poster - Salaam/Shalom/Peace - Ceasefire Now! Release the Hostages! No speeches, no chants.

"Organised by Nottingham supporters of Standing Together, a joint Palestinian/Jewish peace movement in Israel"

This gallery is about taxidermy diorama collections and the process of creating them. One half of the gallery contains an eclectic wall of box dioramas showing how they're often stacked in 'behind the scenes', the other half shows a typical public-facing large open display diorama.

I'll be speaking at this seminar (https://talks.cam.ac.uk/show/index/6375) about a functorial semantics for neural nets. I still need to send in an abstract, so my talk isn't listed yet. This topic is a synthesis of my preprint «Discrete neural nets and polymorphic learning» (https://arxiv.org/abs/2308.00677) as well as some of the results from my thesis (https://aten.cool/documents/thesis.pdf).

“The Trip”, as Nottinghamians call it, *may* be England’s oldest pub and *might* be the place where Richard Cœur-de-Lion talked his posse of knights into joining Pope Gregory’s crusade. Arguments continue on both points but, wherever you stand on them, you’d agree that it’s a venerable and quirky place. The early 18th century building backs up onto, and includes, caves carved into the Rock on which Nottingham Castle stands.

Nearest tram stop is "High School". From there, it's about 150 yards to the gate at the corner of the Arboretum, & another 150 yards to the bandstand area. "High School" is 5 stops from Nottingham Station, about a 10-minute ride.

Expect lots of tasty veggie/vegan food at the festival, & don't forget water bottle, suncream & umbrella :-)

(The reason for not doing "turn up on the day" tickets this year was the logistics of ensuring everyone's done the anti-racism training)

For anyone unfamiliar - BiCon is open to anyone "with a positive interest in bisexuality"! So allies & "questioning" people are very welcome.
