This Bike Week, we?re celebrating the way that Nottingham City Council, together with partners, is making Nottingham a better and safer city to get around for all types of cyclists.?

*Did you know?*


* Riding a bike to work or for everyday errands boosts productivity and happiness and cuts congestion, emissions and the cost of travel?
* Cycling contributes to a growing economy through increased spending on high streets [ [link removed] ] ? those on foot or bike spend around 40% than motorists - as well as reduced pressure on the NHS and better access to jobs?

* You can even get rewarded for joining the growing numbers cycling to work or the shops! Nottingham City Council has joined up with eight Nottinghamshire Councils to help residents reduce their carbon footprints through the Notts Green Rewards programme [ [link removed] ]. After signing up, you can win prizes for taking sustainable actions, like riding your bike!

How we?re improving our cycling infrastructure

cycle lane

Nottingham continues to build a network of safe segregated cycle lanes enabling more and more residents to take advantage of the most clean, sustainable and affordable method of travel.*?*This is thanks to a package of funding from the UK Government that the City Council bid for and won in 2020 under the Transforming Cities programme, as well as other sources of money such as Active Travel England.

Our latest projects include a cycle corridor on St Ann?s Well Road, which we?ll start work on in early autumn, and we also recently heard the great news that we have secured ?1.7m funding from Active Travel England for a new cycle corridor on Porchester Road which again will begin to provide infrastructure in the north-south corridor.

Our next step is to begin working up designs, consulting and engaging with residents to get the design right before we begin work.
