Work starts on phase 2 of the Streets for People programme ??
Streets for People

After successfully completing over 250 schemes in phase 1, work has started on phase 2 of the Streets for People programme.

Thanks to £5.85 million investment from the Government’s Local Transport Plan, the team can continue with the Streets for People programme to improve roads/paths and make walking and cycling easier and safer. The roads chosen for improvement have been put forward by local people and prioritised by ward councillors. Around 15.9km of roads/paths will be repaired and improved. The team will also continue to plant more trees and improve waste management.

See the full list of roads where improvements are taking place here [ [link removed] ]

The Streets for People team won an APSE award for 'Best Community and Neighbourhood Initiative' thanks to their work on phase 1! Well done to them.

Nottingham's Green Heart is open ??
Green Heart opening

Nottingham's brand-new green space in the heart of the city, the Green Heart, is now open!


* The new green space is a place to enjoy nature with 38 trees, 34 of them newly planted, plus areas of colourful planting, a new marsh pond area, two rain garden areas and several footpaths as well as lots of places to sit. 
* The Green Heart is also covered by CCTV and equipped with four new rubbish bins.
* A brand-new sculpture by Rachel Carter, ‘Standing in this place’ will also be unveiled in the Green Heart this November.  The sculpture will give voice and recognition to the contributions of thousands of unnamed women who were the driving forces behind the East Midlands cotton textile industry during Industrialisation. 
* More progress on the ongoing regeneration of the wider Broad Marsh area is still to come, with a state-of-the-art NHS Community Diagnostic Centre set to open in the area, as well as plans for new homes and offices.  

The Green Heart was paid for by funding through the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities fund [ [link removed] ], a £161million package of funding given to Nottingham and Derby in 2020 to keep cities moving and improve connections between and around cities.

A bus revolution ??
Transport Minister's visit to Nottingham

It's great to see the Government progressing plans for a bus revolution, handing power back to local councils through franchising and public ownership.

Here in Nottingham we have retained ownership of our buses which is why we have such a great network. Local Transport Minister, Simon Lightwood, recently visited Nottingham to hear all about our brilliant buses.
