Transport Nottingham

It's Clean Air Day today! Breathing in polluted air emitted from cars and other sources seriously damages health - contributing to cancers, dementia, heart disease, strokes and more.

Here are some ways you can help make a difference to our air today, tomorrow and every day.

🫁 Walk, cycle or scoot to school and cut harmful pollution at school drop-off.
🫁 Take advantage of Nottingham's amazing public transport, including Nottingham City Transport's electric or biogas buses or NET Nottingham Tram electric trams rather than driving.
🫁 If you need to drive, ALWAYS turn off your engine when waiting, especially if you have children in the car. People inside a car breathe in more harmful air pollution than walkers or cyclists, so always switch off when possible.

Bridge updates!

⭐️The temporary walking and cycling link between the bridge and Poulton Drive will open tomorrow (18 June by 12noon)
⭐️The previously grey abutments on the south side under the ramps / steps are being transformed into a colourful mural featuring local wildlife which will be done in the next few days

This Saturday is the Walk Bike Run Festival at King Edward Park, off Carlton Road.

The Renewal Trust is putting on free activities from 1pm until 4pm, including having a go on the bikes and joining a walking group. There's also a chance to find out more about their free activities that happen each week.
