Action 4 Hallam Fields

Action 4 Hallam Fields Change for the better I'm Kate Fennelly and reside next to Hallam Fields ward. My father Paul owned the garage on Nottingham Road.

I've lived in Ilkeston all my life except the time I served in the RAF when I returned 12yrs later. "The Vauxhall Viva Centre" in its early days, now "The Nottingham Road Garage". I'm a self employed driving instructor of 16yrs, mother of a disabled child and all too aware of the challenges parents face. I am also a commonwealth War Grave volunteer, Long Eaton Sea Cadet Instructor and a member of the RBL Ilkeston branch helping our community.

📣 Our A–Z Local Business Spotlight for Erewash (Starting at Z!) 📣
Supporting our brilliant local shops, pubs, trades and self‑employed residents.

Credit where it’s due this brilliant monthly idea comes from a wonderful Erewash resident, Cat Hope, who runs her own community page. We’ve borrowed her concept with full thanks to her for inspiring it. Take a bow 🙇‍♀️ ✊🥰👏🥳

We’re kicking off a brand‑new A–Z Business Spotlight, but in true Ilkeston style we’re doing it differently we’re starting at 📣”Z” 📣 and working our way backwards.

Every week we’ll feature a new letter and shine a light on local shops, pubs, cafés, tradespeople, charities and self‑employed residents who want to promote what they do.

This is a simple way to boost local trade, support our community economy, and help residents discover what’s right on their doorstep.

If you run a business and want to be included, just drop your details in the comments using the template below. We’ll feature you when your letter comes up beginning with Z businesses first.

Let’s show off the amazing talent and hard work in our town.

Casework Visits and Road Walks This Morning.

Councillor Mark Alfrey and I have spent the morning out on casework visits with residents, picking up new issues and checking progress on ongoing ones.

We then finished off by walking a good stretch of the ward’s roads, looking at the condition of footways, potholes, signage and general maintenance. So you can expect plenty of reports going in following what we’ve seen today.

If you’ve got anything you want adding to the list, just let me know.
