 Investment in active travel infrastructure, our award winning public transport network, and solar panels being installed on more than 4,000 council houses are all examples of where we’ve gone the extra mile to meet our ambitious goal of becoming the UK’s first carbon-neutral city by 2028.Â
In recognition for these feats and our dedication to the cause, we have been awarded as the Guardian’s overall Public Service winners as well as National Climate Champions!
 The Workplace Travel Service is working closely with businesses across the city to encourage and enable active travel and sustainable travel choices.

Small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) businesses are taking steps to improve their energy efficiency with an N2 Energy Grant; over 25 businesses across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire have been helped so far, with an average saving per business of between 50 and 80%.
Our energy efficiency grants can provide financial support to invest in measures that lead to cost and carbon savings for your business. Businesses have already used our grants to implement projects such as lighting and heating upgrades, insulation and purchasing new machinery.
We can offer eligible businesses grants of up to ÂŁ16,000 to fund 40% of the cost of installing energy efficiency measures.
To enable you to act with confidence, our energy saving expert will visit your premises to identify the best cost and carbon saving opportunities and provide tailored recommendations for you to take forward.
The N2EG Programme is part financed by the European Regional Development Fund and is delivered by Nottingham City Council. The programme is open to businesses with fewer than 250 employees located in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
