More than 30 major road improvement schemes planned across Nottinghamshire this October
Residents, road users and businesses across Nottinghamshire will continue to see significant investment in the county's roads this October, with more than 30 major resurfacing, machine lay patching and street lighting schemes planned across the county as part of Nottinghamshire County Council's record £181.25 million Highway Capital Maintenance Programme.
Six months into delivery, more highway improvement schemes have already been completed than during the whole of last year. The milestone reflects both the scale of the programme and the pace of delivery across Nottinghamshire, with resurfacing, preventative maintenance and targeted repairs helping to improve road condition, extend the life of the network and reduce the need for more extensive repairs in the future.
Nottinghamshire County Council, working with its highways partner Via East Midlands, has published its month-ahead programme of planned roadworks for October, featuring major resurfacing schemes across every district of the county.

County Council publishes its Adult Social Care Plan for 2026-28
Nottinghamshire County Council has published its Adult Social Care Plan for 2026-28.
The Plan explains what matters most to people in Nottinghamshire about their experience of using social care, what has been achieved so far, and what the focus will be for the next two years.
People said that what matters to them is getting the basics right. They want help at the right time, clear information about support and services, to spend less time waiting for assessments, better communication with staff, and support that feels joined up. Carers said they need to be recognised, listened to, and supported in their own right. People also said they want to stay connected to their family, friends and community, to have more choice and control about decisions which concern them, and be supported by workers who know them, listen properly and treat them as a person.
