Nottingham (Beeston) driving test centre: alternative test arrangements

From Monday 1 August, DVSA will conduct driving tests at The Village Hotel, Chilwell on Brailsford Way.

We'll be using this site on a temporary basis so that we can continue to provide a local service in the Beeston area.

The lease for the current site at Beeston Business Park, Technology Drive has been terminated; the last day for testing at this site will be Tuesday 26 July.

If your pupil has a test booked to take place after 26 July, we'll contact them separately to let them know about the new arrangements.

Future plans

We've found a long-term solution for Nottingham (Beeston) and are working towards securing a lease for the site; we'll keep you updated with progress.

We’re organising a local ADI meeting at the current Beeston site on Wednesday 22 June; we’ll send you details about this shortly.
