Streets for People programme making good progress

Over 160 schemes have been completed so far across the city.

In 2021, the council successfully bid as part of a competitive process for money from the Government’s Levelling Up fund to improve streets and local town centres, and make walking and cycling easier and safer.

Nottingham City Council has approved £11million of improvements to make our neighbourhoods greener, safer, better places to get around. Streets that have been improved so far include:

• Roads - Leybourne Drive and Raymede Close
• Paths - Portland Court, Queens Bower Road and Reedham Walk

We are also setting money aside for tree work and bin replacements. You can find out more by visiting the streets for people website.
