Travel update in Nottingham 19 March - 26 March
 Stay home to save lives
We're on the road to recovery and one step closer towards restrictions lifting, but that doesn't mean we can start bending the rules.
Current Government orders are to stay home as much as possible, only leaving for essential reasons and outdoors exercise/recreation with your household or support bubble. Bending the rules costs lives, so don't start now.
 Walking and cycling
Valley Road pedestrian and cycle improvements
We're carrying out works to replace fencing, widen the footway to provide a continuous shared path, and resurfacing, along Valley Road, between its junctions with Mansfield Road and Hucknall Road.
From Monday 22 March:
- Off-peak lane closures will be in place on the park side between 9.30am and 3.30pm to allow the works to be carried out safely
- The footpath within the construction area will be closed at all times. Pedestrians and cyclists will need to cross the road and use the opposite footpath, which will be made shared use during this time.
For more information and updates, visit our website.
#RideItOut with Love to Ride
How much carbon do you think you saved this week whilst riding green?
These last few weeks we've been sharing some motivating reasons to get out on the saddle. So for the last time as we #RideItOut this March, we'd like to see a week of adventures as we ride free!
The adventure can be big or small like heading to a new place, riding at night, going off-road, cycling with a friend...there are so many possibilities, that’s why they’re called freedom machines
Register over at lovetoride.net to start tracking your miles as you ride it out!
