Parking and footpath improvements

*In Top Valley, local councillors have secured £29,000 for improvement work on pavements around Crossfiled Drive, Erewash Gardens, and Henning Gardens*. We want to thank our Highways team for the great work they have done. The improved pavements look much better and will be a lot safer for residents.

*New parking schemes have taken place in Winterton Rise and Wyton close. Local councillors secured funding to create new parking spaces for residents*. On Wyton close ward councillors worked with Nottingham City Homes to demolish the disused garage site to create additional parking for residents.
