What a night at the Reach Plc awards!
@nottslive is brand of the year 🎉. So chuffed after a tough year - what a team of reporters. So proud.

@PJLynchjourno is LDR of the year
And @MattLeeJourno highly commended for regional journalist of the year
Amazing work goes on every single day in all our newsrooms and it was such an honour for all of us to win.

Nottinghamshire Police tried to stop us reporting matters of public interest and when it didn't go the way they wanted it to, they reported us to our regulator.
Thankfully, IPSO saw sense and threw their complaint out. For the Chief Constable to say now that this was a mistake is quite frankly pathetic.
Instead of trying to protect their reputation, the force and Chief Constable should have been communicating properly with the people who really matter here - the families of the victims and the survivors of those horrific attacks.

I was told before Nottinghamshire County Council’s meeting today media had to sit upstairs - we usually sit in the chamber.
No solid reason why. Reports of several empty seats in the chamber - random.
We’ve argued it. Told I’ll be allowed back in after lunch.

Wrap-up from today's Nottingham Inquiry. This was the incident police told us about in a non-disclosable briefing, trying to prevent us and others reporting it. We decided to report it in the public interest.

Nottinghamshire’s pothole crisis latest.
A man was reportedly taken to hospital after falling into a pothole the other week.
Reform says the road where the reported incident took place will be fully repaired within months.

Here at @nottslive we're continuing to fight for Hilda Pannell, 96, who, after six months of trying, 'wont give up' trying to get a handrail fitted.
She has previously fallen over twice on the path and now struggles to leave the house by herself.

Today we have taken the unusual step of publishing the content of text messages between @OliverPridmore and the leader of @NottsCC Mick Barton to show we're not distorting facts. nottinghampost.com/news/news…

Reform's ban on the Nottingham Post and Local Democracy Reporters is a sinister early sign of an increasingly hostile attitude to journalists, journalism, and democracy that the party could take all the way to Westminster. Link to my Substack: open.substack.com/pub/frombe…

I've always been proud to work at @nottslive alongside brilliant colleagues like @OliverPridmore and @nat_fahy and this week has really demonstrated why. The response to Reform's childish banning of us has been top notch. Brilliant journalism and opinion – at Hinckley, England

The NUJ has responded to Reform's refusal to speak to Nottinghamshire Live by affirming journalists’ right to report without fear or favour.
Media scrutiny of elected politicians is fundamental to the functioning of a healthy democracy.
