Soldiers in line for Freedom
TWO groups of Notts soldiers will receive Freedom of the City at a ceremony next week.
Nottingham City Council is recommending the men and women of the 73rd Engineer Regiment (Volunteers) and the East Midlands Universities Air Squadron are given the honour on June 13. It will give the regiments the right to march through city streets on ceremonial occasions.
Michael Wildgust, Lord Mayor of Nottingham, said: "The city council, on behalf of the people of Nottingham, wants to recognise and foster the long and close links between the city and the regiments.
"Granting the Freedom of the City so that our regiments can march through Nottingham is one way we can show our appreciation and support to the Armed Forces, welcome local troops home from active operations and help raise the morale of the troops."
Lieutenant Colonel David Jones, commanding officer of the 73rd Engineer Regiment (Volunteers), and Flight Lieutenant Robert Marston of the East Midlands Universities Air Squadron will receive the certificates granting Freedom of the City from the Lord Mayor.
Lt Col Jones said: "We are now looking forward to the day when we are able to march through the city."
Flt Lt Marston said: "We are very proud of our connections with Nottingham."

A WOMAN was cut out of her car after it left the road.
Police and fire crews were called to Lime Lane, Arnold, at about 8am on Sunday.

Fire crews from Arnold and Carlton were called and the woman was taken to Nottingham's Queen's Medical Centre with suspected spinal injuries, which were not considered to be life threatening.

Colourful celebrations
IT STARTED as one woman's campaign for childcare services in east Hull.
Sadly Janet Genter died of breast cancer in October 2000 shortly before her dream could become a reality.
But a more than decade later, her memory lives on through the Janet Genter Community Nursery, in Preston Road, which celebrated its tenth anniversary at the weekend.
The centre has supported more than 600 children since its founding.
Families and staff gathered to see the Lord Mayor of Hull, Councillor Colin Inglis, unveil a colourful mural created by children at the nursery and local artist Lewis Jackson to mark the important milestone.
Mr Inglis said: "It is exactly ten years since the Preston Road New Deal For Communities originally opened a nursery.
"Janet campaigned for childcare in the area but sadly died just months before the community nursery was opened.
"It was based in Flinton Grove then moved here in 2004 and has gone from strength-to-strength."
The nursery formed an integral part of the Little Stars Children's Centre when it moved into purpose-built premises in Preston Road seven years ago.
Families now travel from all over the city to the nursery, which offers 48 places for children from three months to five years.
The nursery was also the starting point for the formation of the city-wide family support charity Child Dynamix in 2005, which now employs more than 70 staff and turns over £2 million each year.
Jane Stafford, managing director of Child Dynamix, said: "Celebrating this milestone represents an amazing journey, the nursery has been one of the success stories of the New Deal scheme.
"We are all very proud of the nursery. The team work hard to create an exciting and fun learning environment for the children and their families."
Activities on the day included a bouncy castle, a performing dog, cake stalls, face painting, hair braiding and a huge range of toys.
Caitlin Eatwell, 9, of Preston Road, started attending the nursery when she was just two.
She said she was happy to be a part of the celebrations. Caitlin said: "I am pleased to be here today.
"I have enjoyed it. I liked watching Jess the dog."

The process of taking them is simple, painless and noninvasive, ?Blic? learns.Source: http://english.blic.rs/Society//7721/Stem-cells-from-milk-teeth
