Local transport plans
This page gives details about:
Nottinghamshire County Council produce two local transport plans. The plans set out the aims, objectives and strategies for achieving more sustainable and integrated transport throughout Nottinghamshire. The current local transport plans are the second to be produced and cover the period 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2011.
The North Nottinghamshire Local Transport Plan covers the districts of Ashfield (excluding Hucknall), Bassetlaw, Mansfield and Newark & Sherwood. The Greater Nottingham.Local Transport Plan is developed in partnership with Nottingham City Council, and covers the Broxtowe, Gedling and Rushcliffe districts, as well as Hucknall and the City of Nottingham.
The aims and objectives of the second local transport plans have been developed both nationally and locally. Nationally, the objectives were developed through the Department for Transport and Local Government Association. Locally, through consultation the plans have also been developed to take account of what local people feel is important.
Nationally, four objectives were determined which all local authorities in the country must address within their transport plans. These are:
- Improving accessibility to services
- Improving road safety
- Reducing congestion
- Improving air quality.
As a result of consultation, the County Council has also adopted three local objectives which the public and stakeholders felt were important. These are:
- Improving quality of life (such as health, the physical environment and safety)
- Regenerating less well-off areas
- Making best use of the existing highway network.
The local transport plans identify the problems and opportunities within each of these areas. They also detail the transport strategy to meet each of the objectives during the period April 2006 to March 2011.

This includes issues such as noise levels, air pollution, wildlife and climate change. It also includes how transport affects health, crime and accessibility.
