No Tesco Eastside’ is a group opposed to the building of a new Tesco on Eastside (formally Boots Island) in Nottingham near Sneinton.
These are our basic points of objection, a more detailed version can be read via our letter of objection here.
1. The threat to the local retail environment
2. A detrimental increase in traffic
3. Design flaws
4. The economic and social impact on local residents
5. An inadequate approach to public consultation
6. A sequential approach to other more appropriate sites has not been taken
7. There is no need for another Tesco in this area
8. We need better alternative shopping plans from our local authority

3. Save the Middle Street Resource Centre 
The Middle Street Resource Centre (MSRC) is under threat of being closed by the Nottinghamshire County Council.
The MSRC is a day centre for People with Mental Health difficulties and many people, including myself, believe that the MSRC needs to stay open to continue supporting those in need. It is the best place I have seen for people with Mental Health difficulties and this is coming from someone who struggles to settle into a place like this.
The People that visit the MSRC rely on it as a means of support and a place to interact with People that share their difficulties. So, please sign this petition to try and keep it open.
4. Support Speed bump's on Winchester Street
I've created this petition because I was nearly ran over on Winchester Street and have witnessed so many times the dangerous driving and just seen the road being used as a race course.
There have been numerous incidents on the road and it's not long until there is a serious incident. So I need as many people as possible to sign my petition and support me!
Nottingham City Council plan to develop housing and a Stadium on Rushcliffe green belt land. Media releases suggest plans for 3500 - 4500 houses and a Stadium. These plans were released to local media on 07/09/09 without any prior consultation with local residents.
An independent survey of the area by Tribal Solutions (partly funded by Nottingham City Council) had already identified the area as unsuitable for development. The proposed location is designated green belt and contravenes current planning guidelines (Planning Policy Guidance 2 Green Belt). It is also on a River Trent floodplain so contravenes Flood Planning Policy Statement 25 Development & Flood Risk.
Furthermore the scale of the development cannot be supported by the local infrastructure.
We believe that the history (100 odd years of it) of NFFC at the City Ground is enough reason to stay put, add to that the loss of a wonderful location for a football ground, and the fear that our new stadium would have no character.
We also worry that we'd spend most Saturday's in a half empty stadium.
7. Hucknall Leisure Complex Development Program
As a resident living in Hucknall there are times when entertainment or leiusure facilities are not available. So I am petitioning that a leisure complex consisting of a bowling alley or possible ice skating rink with food and beverage courts be built in the town of Hucknall Nottingham.
8. Save Elms Primary & Nursery School
Nottingham City Council are proposing to close Elms Primary & Nursery school, following a revised proposal for the reorganisation of Primary schools in the St Ann's and Mapperley areas in Nottingham.
The Local Authority is thinking of closing down our school because there are too few pupils.
We strongly believe the closing our school is wrong and will have a detrimental impact on our children and the local community.
About Elms:
72% of parents rate the Elms "very good" or better (annual survey 2006).
Recently renovated outdoor multi-use games area.
"Elms is an effetive school" - OFSTED Report 2004.
International Schools Award recipient 4 years running.
What Parents are saying:
"The Local Authority chose this school for my autistic son because of its outstanding inclusion policies"
"This school has been the best of all the schools that any of my four children have attended"
"We travel by bus 30 minutes everyday to get to the Elms because my children don't want to leave".
Please sign our petition.
9. Megson Out
December 16, 2005
For the sake of Nottingham Forest Football Club Gary Megson has to go?
Yes, only 1 league away win all season. His tatics stink.
Time for a change.
Haywood School in Sherwood, Nottingham will close unless parents and residents of Sherwood do something about it now.
We need you to support the education authority's alternative plan to re-build the school - if you don't Haywood will close.
Do you want your children to be able to walk safely to a school on your doorstep or have to travel miles out of the area?
Do you want £2 million pounds a year taken out of the local economy?
Do you want businesses to suffer, house prices to fall?
We need to rebuild our local school NOT lose it!
Please sign our petition.
