Hello, Today's edition of the Nottinghamian takes a look at the preparations for this year's Winter Wonderland. With less than a week to go until this year's event opens, firm favourites are making a return and new additions are appearing.
The giant observation wheel is up, the log cabins are in place ready for the Christmas market and this year's new aerial skating path is under construction. Sky Skate is being put up, metres above the ground, covering all four corners of Slab Square. Skaters will be able to stop off along the way at a skate-through bar - one of several drinking spots, which also include an ice bar.
Jinfeng Wang, 40, who had been an administrative worker at the restaurant for five years, was expecting a normal day at work but when he arrived at 9am, he found the restaurant boarded up. He said: "I had no idea what was happening and so I messaged my manager and he had no idea either. He said that there was no point in waiting around and that I should go home. It was later that day that I saw the news online that the closure would be a permanent one.
Sue Davies, 57, from Mapperley, said: "I hope not! That would be a disaster. I was so relieved when they voted him out, I would be shocked if he got the job again." Winner A Nottingham woman is planning a trip to Egypt after winning £300,000 on a National Lottery scratch card that she bought from her local shop Sonia Stores in Basford whilst getting bread and milk. Karen Parkin, 51, says she first started buying the scratch cards after seeing a lady win £50,000 on one whilst queuing behind her in the newsagents.
She later quit her job as a teacher and made cakes her full time career by supplying vegan cafes and running a shop in Watnall Road, Hucknall. She wrote on Facebook: "All good things come to an end. After much deliberation we’ve come to the decision that Clemie's Vegan Cakes will be closing at the end of the year.
