Day Care - elderly
Day Care is provided in a variety of locations, including space set aside in residential and nursing homes, in units attached to those homes or in purpose-built or other premises such as community centres.
Whatever the setting, the aims are the same – to offer rehabilitation, interesting activities, recreation and companionship. Carers may also benefit for a break from caring.
Day Care - young people
Day care for children in need, and support and practical help for their families. This may include working with families where children may be at risk.

Dementia Services
Nottingham City Council’s dementia home care service, also known as JackDawe, was set up to deal with the unique needs of people with dementia or other Alzheimer’s related conditions living in the community.
Derelict & Vacant Homes
A home that stands empty causes problems. It can attract vandals, fly tippers, burglars, squatters, drug addicts and prostitutes. Its gardens can become overgrown and filled with rubbish. Roofs and brickwork can become unsafe and the whole building can soon become an eyesore.
An empty home can impact on surrounding homes and inhabitants through damp, vermin, anti-social behaviour, the reduction of house prices and the inability to sell.
The Government and Nottingham City Council are committed to tackling the problem of empty homes. With record demands for housing, it makes sense to use existing unused housing stock before creating an irreversible impact on the environment.
If you know of a privately owned empty home please report it to us.
Direct Payments
A Direct Payment is money given to you from Social Care Services to enable you to buy and arrange your own care or support. Direct Payments are an alternative to receiving direct services like home care, day centres and residential care. Direct Payments enable you to take responsibility for arranging the services or support you require, managing the money, employing staff to provide your support, and so on. This puts you in control.
Disability Advice
Nottingham City Council provides a range of services and support to people living with physical, sensory and learning disabilities.
Disabled Day Services

The centre is part of the Mary Potter Centre on Gregory Boulevard. It caters for up to 125 people per day and offers interesting and varied activities.

Every year our dog warden service reponds to nearly 2000 requests for help relating to stray dogs, dog fouling, dangerous dogs, dogs on school grounds or just advice.
Domestic Violence
Domestic violence is the use or threat of physical, sexual, emotional or other forms of behaviour that frighten, hurt or injure:
- by one person (usually, but not always, a man)
- to another person (usually, but not always, a woman)
- with whom they have or had an intimate or other similar close relationship or with whom they had children in order to exert power and control over that person
Don’t be a victim of domestic violence. Help and support is provided by organisations across the city.

Drains and sewers
We will investigate blocked drains and sewers. We will also survey drainage systems to make sure they are in working order.
Blocked or defective drains and sewers can be inspected and advice given. We can investigate, test and camera survey drainage systems. Charges for clearing a blocked sewer or for the repair of a defective sewer are shared equally between the owners of all the properties draining into the sewer.
Severn Trent Water repairs and maintains all public sewers. These are main sewers in the highway and all sewers built before 1937. If just your drain is blocked then it is your responsibility no matter what the age of the property.
