We must turn the tide on Covid cases in Nottingham

**A message from City Council Leader, Cllr David Mellen:**

Cllr David Mellen, leader of Nottingham City Council

Thank you to those who are already following the new rules. As numbers of Covid cases in Nottingham worryingly continue to rise, it is urgent that everyone takes on board the new rules placed on us by Government as a High risk area. We are beginning to see more infections in older age groups which could start to put a strain on our local hospitals. We understand thats one of the criteria for being placed in the Very High risk category, so its vital that we start to turn the tide on Covid cases. The only way we can do that is following Hands, Face, Space and not mix indoors with anyone apart from our own household or support bubble. Please make sure youre doing your bit to save lives and livelihoods in Nottingham.

*New cycle lanes to help reduce demand on public transport*

Cycle lane on station street

The High level restrictions introduced by the Government in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire include advice to reduce the number of journeys people are making - if necessary walking or cycling or avoiding busy times and routes on public transport where possible. The council has been implementing a range of pop up cycle lanes, street closures and cycle parking facilities [ [link removed] ] across the city to help with this and the last cycle route is being installed in the Carlton Road area this week.

The measures, funded through Nottingham City Councils Emergency Active Travel Fund, aim to support social distancing by making it easier for people to walk and cycle, and to deter cut-through driving. Locations of trial cycle lanes, most of which are segregated to some degree, include Hucknall Road, St Anns Wells Road, Carlton Road, Station Street/Canal Street, Derby Road and Oundle Drive/Middleton Boulevard. In some cases, permanent schemes could follow. Several pop-up cycle parking racks have also been installed in the city centre and at locations including Colwick Park, Forest Recreation Ground and Victoria Embankment.

*Help is available for anyone who is clinically vulnerable*

The Government has issued new advice [ [link removed] ] for people who are clinically vulnerable. It is different to the situation in the first wave, when shielding measures were put in place locally with support from Government. While the full shielding measures are not in place at this time, we want to reassure people that in Nottingham, the City Council is here to provide help and support. If you yourself are clinically vulnerable or you are keeping an eye on a neighbour or family member who is, then please do ask for help if you need it by calling 0115 915 5555. There is also lots of advice on our website at www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/coronavirus [ [link removed] ]

The main guidance for clinically vulnerable people remains: Meet as few people as possible, avoid non-essential travel, reduce trips to the shops and work from home if you can.
