Neighbours have welcomed plans to install bollards on a village green plagued by illegal encampments. They come amid continued complaints over damage and mess left by groups pitching up on the land.
Nottingham City Council, which leases the Clifton village green off a freeholder, says it has received initial permission to install bollards on the remaining sections of the land. Wooden bollards had been put up in some areas back in 2017, but the council says the issue has persisted on the unprotected grassland.
The village green, which sits in Village Road just off the A453, is used for leisure activities and by dog walkers. The well-kept grassland has pockets of daffodils and residents have described it as a "lovely area".
