Are you working from home in West Bridgford? Did you know that West Bridgford and Lady Bay are in the top 5% of home-working locations nationally? Population Geographer Dr David McCollum would like to talk to you about home-working, your experience and its possible implications - and there's a buffet!

Did you know that Rushcliffe is a hotspot for remote/hybrid working? According to the recent Census, 43% of workers in the area worked mainly from home (WFH) at the time of the survey in March 2021 (average for England was 31%). In Lady Bay and West Bridgford the equivalent figures were 52% and 50% respectively, placing them in the top 5% of neighbourhoods nationally for remote/hybrid working. Why is WFH so prevalent in Rushcliffe and what opportunities does it pose for the area?

If you are a resident, business or other stakeholder in Rushcliffe who has experienced or been impacted by the growth of remote/hybrid working then please come along to this free event to hear more about and discuss it and its possible implications. The event is being organised by Dr David McCollum, who is a population geographer at the University of St Andrews. The event will involve a brief presentation from David on national and local trends in WFH, followed by a themed audience discussion about the dynamics and outcomes of WFH in Rushcliffe.
