This year has been one where life has pretty much returned to normal after the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, it has also been one tinged with sadness with the death of Queen Elizabeth II as well as the war in Ukraine.
It has been a landmark year for the county in terms of unlocking major investment, with the Government confirming a £1.14 billion devolution deal is on offer for the East Midlands.
In addition to this, billions of pounds worth of investment and thousands of jobs are also in the pipeline after Nottinghamshire was a chosen as the home of what is hoped to be the world’s first commercial prototype fusion energy plant.
This year also saw the return of the Tour of Britain to Nottinghamshire in September and the first ever Notts Day Festival in August.
It is fair to say it has been another busy year for Nottinghamshire and here are some of the highlights in numbers
