Movement: Nottingham (The Meadows)

Nottingham is becoming known as a city with sustainability at its heart, and a key component of this is the council’s commitment to developing and delivering excellent public transport connections.

The extensions of the tram lines and the strengthening of the bus network support this. Nottingham has set very stringent carbon reduction emissions targets and sees transport as a key aspect of this.

Supporting and strengthening public transport to be a viable and attractive option for its residents continues to be a key driver in their sustainability and carbon reduction commitments.

A neighbourhood where this can be observed is The Meadows. Located about 2 miles south of the city and near the River Trent, it benefitted from a tram extension and may also look to benefit from more recent plans that would see a whole new route for the network that could eventually reach Gedling Borough.
