 Nearly 135 Streets for People schemes have been completed so far across the city and work is on track to finish in March 2024.
In 2021, the council successfully bid as part of a competitive process for £18 million from the Government’s Levelling Up fund to improve streets and local town centres. The largest amount of this money (£11 million) is for the Streets for People programme.
Across all twenty wards, pavements and walkways are being upgraded to make them safer, especially considering the needs of older people and those with less mobility. Roads and cycle paths are being repaired to help tackle potholes and improve traffic flow and safety. Over 250 trees are also being planted to make neighbourhoods greener, with planting set to begin this month in the Dales on Highcliffe Road.

 Nottingham City Council has unveiled plans for a new Active Travel Scheme on Mapperley, on Porchester Road.Â
-
We are proposing to use the money we secured from Active Travel England for this scheme to design and build:
-
A segregated, two-way cycle path on Porchester Road – beginning at Burgass Road and finishing at Kenrick Road
-
The two-way cycle path is proposed to be on the southbound lane carriageway between Burgass Road and Cherrywood Gardens, before switching to the northbound lane carriageway between Cherrywood Gardens and Kenrick Road- this is in order to considerably reduce the interference this scheme could have with car parking
-
One-way cycle paths for northbound and southbound users from Kenrick Road to Emmanuel Avenue
Take a look at the plans and tell us what you think in our online survey which closes on 22 December.Â

We saw our first snow of the winter earlier this month, followed by more heavy rains that again caused flooding around the city including at Queens Drive Park & Ride.
Our brilliant teams are keeping a close eye on the weather forecasts, ready to spring into action with our gritters keeping major routes and access to hospitals, schools and other essential services clear in cold weather.Â
