Available for over a year

Following a public consultation, a restriction on face coverings is now in place in Nottingham City Centre.

In this episode of Need to Know, you hear from Councillor Neghat Khan,the Labour leader of Nottingham City Council, and Gary Godden, the Nottinghamshire Police and Crime Commissioner, about the new rules.
