Streets for People
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 and make walking and cycling easier and safer. The largest amount of this money (£11 million) was for the Streets for People programme.
Over 250 schemes have now been completed which included resurfacing more than 100km roads/paths.

Nottingham’s LED lighting programme is now complete ??
LED
The programme has successfully replaced over 36,000 lights with new LED sources, in partnership with Enerveo.
Nottingham City Council secured a grant for £7m from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund to upgrade street lights in all the city’s wards with new, energy-efficient LEDs. As part of this ambitious project, subway lighting and signage lights were also upgraded. The programme began in July 2022, starting with Sherwood and Clifton and most recently finished in St Ann’s, the Meadows and the Dales.

Canal towpath upgrades complete ✔️
towpath
The Transforming Cities - funded repairs to the canal towpath in Nottingham carried out by the Canal & River Trust have finished ahead of schedule. Thank you for your patience during these works.
These repairs have fixed a sinking area of the canal wall which led to flooding, meaning that hopefully cycling and walking along this stretch will be safer in the future.
