Welcome to your December Transport Nottingham Newsletter!

This monthly newsletter aims to keep you informed on everything that's going on across Nottingham from walking, cycling, public transport and our Citycard savings to our Major Transport Projects

Broadmarsh Area proposals unveiled

On the 1st December 2015 proposals to dramatically transform and regenerate the Broadmarsh area of Nottingham city centre were unveiled.

The scheme is expected to boost the local economy by over £1 billion a year, create nearly 3,000 jobs for local people and attract an extra three million people a year into the city.

The plans are available for public viewing in the Lister Gate Square inside Intu Broadmarsh (across from Argos/BHS) until Tuesday 22nd December 2015.

For more information please visit the Broadmarsh Area webpage.

Robin Hood smartcard

The eagerly awaited Robin Hood pay-as-you-go travel smartcard launched on Monday the 14th December.

Currently available from Robin Hood Network ticket machines, the card will create a hassle-free, money-saving way of getting around Nottingham on bus or tram - even when using different transport operators.

Find out more about the Robin Hood card.

UK Bus Awards

Bulwell Riverside gets a new addition

Last month saw the launch of the latest City Car Club vehicle based at Bulwell Riverside Joint Service Centre. The vehicle is based in the car park at the rear of the centre and is available to both members of staff at the centre and members of the public.

What's more, there is still half price membership for residents so it makes it even cheaper to jump in the hire care for a quick trip to the shops.

Find out more about city Car Club.

Some of these projects and this newsletter are delivered as part of the Nottingham Urban Area’s successful Local Sustainable Transport Fund programme, helping to establish Nottingham as an exemplar for integrated sustainable transport.
