Introduction from Councillor Nick McDonald

As portfolio holder for Growth and Transport I am keen to ensure that all City citizens and businesses are fully informed on the latest monthly transport news taking place in Nottingham.

This month we see stories from Go Ultra Low, Sky Rides and Robin Hood Card; I Hope you find this newsletter informative.

Councillor Nick McDonald, Portfolio Holder for Business, Growth and Transport at Nottingham City Council.

Did you know you can save £750 a year by switching to an electric car? You could win that amount in cash - follow Go Ultra Low’s journey as they travel around Nottingham in an electric car on 21st July with a suitcase full of money. 

They’ll release clues about their location as they go, through Twitter and their website. Guess their top secret final destination and meet them there to be in with the chance of winning the cash! Follow them on Twitter at @goultralow and follow the hashtag #FollowTheSuitcase and look out for the competition launch.

Robin Hood Card

Getting around Nottingham by bus, tram and train is really simple, hassle free and good value thanks to the Robin Hood Network, the home of integrated transport for Nottingham.

On April 25 the Kangaroo Season pass was given a new look coming underneath the Robin Hood Card brand. Since the re-brand the dedicated website has been updated providing you with all the information you might need when purchasing a Robin Hood Card.

For more information please visit the website. 

Southern Cycle Corridor

Southern Cycle Corridor works are currently suspended to concentrate on the northern and eastern route works.  We will provide a further update with plenty of notice when works are set to resume in Clifton.
