A PURPLE flag is flying on the Council House after the city's nightlife was recognised as among the best in the country.
Nottingham has retained its Purple Flag status for a fourth consecutive year.
Purple Flag is a national scheme that recognises excellence in the management of town and city centres at night.
The Council House and Castle will also be lit up in purple all next week.
A range of initiatives have been used to retain the Purple Flag, cheaper on-street parking in the evening and more late-night buses.
The city is cleaner after 130 solar powered self-compacting litter bins were installed and an iPhone app launched to enable people to report littering and vandalism.
