Anyone know what's happening?

Lots of police. No ambulances or fire engines.

Newspapers say there has been a "major incident"

Think all emergency services are present from most recent news

I have sky news on and they don't know anything. Just speculation and national liaison officers and armed officers on the streets
I thought it might be a bomb at first , but doesn't look that way. Lots of roads are sealed off and public transport has stopped

Twitter has gone into overdrive, probably best if the authorities tell the the public soon. Wasn't this what that alert thing was for?

Looks like it's a wide area that been cordoned off and everything has been stopped
No statements issued as yet

My totally uninformed speculation is that a massive terrorist attack has been prevented.

Thats a good point.

Must depend where you are, which service you can see.
There's a liaison officer coordinating different services.

Twitter rumours are saying multiple stabbings, multiple people run over. RUMOURS, though.

I imagine they can't say what's happened until they've assessed the scale of it.

I know a few Uni students in Nottingham. Hope everything is ok. My first thought was bomb or terrorist attack.

Did anyone's phone go off ?
Mine didn't when it was just a test!
That said it could be anything. Without any kind of statement it's all just rumours and speculation.

Is the alert system live? I sort of thought it was still in the test phase.

My dc at uni there was meant to go back today but now tomorrow I think. Friends are still there so hopefully all ok

Yet another major police incident where one bloody sentence of information would stop a lot of speculation and worry for anyone who had friends/family in the area. Of course they can't give chapter and verse about what's happening but "risk to public security" or "road accident" etc would be helpful in these situations.

Yes, Twitter has had everything from chemical attack to a tram derailment, they should give a general idea to stop speculation

I hope nobody has died , but to have this level of intervention means it must be very bad :(
I agree that a few words would stop all the rumours , but I suppose they have their reasons
Seems it's been going on for a few hours now

If its a terrorist attack is there an obvious target in Nottingham? One of my daughters friends is at Uni there, hope she's OK.

Victoria centre is still open according to Nottinghamshire Live

I hope nobody is hurt.

I assume Twitter is full of 👽 posts? I don't believe in Aliens btw!

Just hope nobody has been injured or killed 🙏 not sounding good though. Extremely worrying for people with children at Uni there etc

There is lots of rumour and speculation on Twitter, but not much in the way of actual information. No idea what's going on tbh. Hope that it turns out not to be too serious.

Supposedly the tram derailment was because it was hit by lightning last night.

My son lives there - student - obviously still asleep so no information from him.

You'll be able to get there, as long as he's not city centre.

What service are the people in the red outfits?
