People have to live somewhere
Why are so many people against the new HMOs in Netherfield?
Many young people now require a place to live and everyone has to live somewhere.
Not everyone can afford to rent a house or get a mortgage and some will not want to live with their parents forever.
These HMOs provide a place to live for a lot of people so should be allowed to continue.

Crime in Arnold
Is it me or does is seem out of control?
Every crime story seems to be about Arnold in Gedling Eye.
What are the police doing about it?
I don’t think there is enough for youngsters to do in Arnold and that seems to be the problem.
I think money should be put into extra youth clubs and more to do at the leisure centres.
Paula Rawson, Arnold
Bring the tram to Gedling
A push is needed to get the tram to Gedling.
All we hear about is the Gedling Access Road but I think the tram would make more of a difference.
A line linking Netherfield with Mapperley and Arnold would be great and would help improve the local town economies as more people would visit the different high streets.
A stop at the Gedling Country Park would also be a good idea.
Surely it wouldn’t cost as much as GAR?
Let’s hope it happens.
Jonathan Ashworth, Mapperley
