Fire Doors at Nottingham Community Centre Fixed After Media Contact

Hey, guess what happened in Nottingham? The Bulwell Hall center had broken fire doors. They were a safety hazard. The center told the city council about it. That went on for over a year!

Nothing happened until the news got involved. Nottinghamshire Live contacted city officials. The council said they would look at the problem. Engineers checked the doors right away. Repairs happened the next day.

The manager, Katrina Hall, wants more fixes. A fire shutter in the main hall is broken too. Ms. Hall said they don’t fix issues without pressure. Engineers often say they lack the right parts. Then, things remain broken.

The center joined a campaign. It is called “Protect Nottingham Community Centers.” The same center faced other troubles before. Volunteers felt bad over business rate issues. The city council sent them a court summons.

The council gives centers over £600,000 yearly. This covers staff, repairs, and upkeep. Now the council wants to stop this funding. They want to cut this subsidy to zero by 2025. Centers will need new leases with higher rents.
