We have adopted an Interim Transport Planning Statement, which has been developed in conjunction with Nottingham City Council. This document details our approach to major new development from an integrated transport perspective.

Local transport plans

Travel plans

Travel plans are aimed at promoting more sustainable travel to work by offering realistic transport choices. A travel plan is not anti-car, but instead emphasises the travel choices available.

This is an extremely prestigious award which recognises the achievements we have made in helping local people access work, learning, health leisure and shopping.
