A large cardboard book was designed and created by Charlotte Tupper and campaigner Naomi Lake. ‘Hopes and Dreams 2’ was presented to councillor’s at the Better Books launch at Nottingham’s Council House, with an OVERDUE stamp issued, emphasising missed pledges and deadlines from the council. The book toured local schools becoming filled with comments and feedback from students across the city
