Celebrating the impact of Transforming Cities in Nottingham!

Transforming Cities - a programme funded by money secured by the council from the Government in 2020 to help make travel to work, leisure and more greener and easier – is now coming to end so we’re highlighting some of the projects that have been completed

Our project to create new and improved paths at Colwick Country Park went above and beyond what was originally planned, and we were able to create 4.5km of new paved paths instead of 1.5km following great feedback from park users. 

Hopefully lots of Nottingham people will be able to get out and about and enjoy Colwick Country Park even in muddy weather, thanks to the new paths!  [ [link removed] ]
