Travel update in Nottingham 11 - 18 June
Big weekend for vaccinations
The NHS is holding a big weekend of walk-in vaccinations at the Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham this Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 June.
Anyone aged over 25 can go along and have their first dose Covid-19 jab without making an appointment between 8am and 6pm each day. The vaccination centre will offer Pfizer-only jabs on those days.
Two free shuttle buses will run hourly to the Forest Recreation Ground site from Radford, Arboretum, Hyson Green and St Ann's.
Find more information and route maps here.
Vaccination is the most important thing we can do to help us continue along the roadmap and prevent any backward step where we might see the freedoms we are enjoying now close again.
 Clean Air Day - Thursday 17 June
Next Thursday is national Clean Air Day, and this year the focus is to protect children's health from air pollution.
Vehicle emissions are a big contributor to air pollution, and we'll be sharing more information next week on what the council is doing for a cleaner future, and inviting your views on what further action you'd like to see.
We're encouraging people to consider giving their diesel or petrol cars a day off, using cleaner public transport instead, or walking and cycling for shorter journeys.
Try the air pollution calculator to work out your individual contribution to air pollution. You can make a pledge on Twitter or Instagram using the #CleanAirDay hashtag.
