'What we don't want to do in the slightest is to dilute our very good public transport system in Nottingham'
Nottingham City Council's leader has promised that the city's public transport system will not be "diluted" by a £1.14 billion deal with the Government. An agreement was signed in August to create a new East Midlands combined authority which will cover people in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
But at a meeting of the council's overview and scrutiny committee on Wednesday , Councillor Mellen said that he would make sure Nottingham's public transport system is protected when working with the new authority. He said: "What we don't want to do in the slightest is to dilute our very good public transport system in Nottingham."There is money to be had in the devolution deal, we've just got to protect what we've got here, which is good.
This would include work on bus and tram networks, as well as on road infrastructure and cycling. The deal says that the new East Midlands authority will prepare a transport plan by March 2024, with £500,000 being provided by the Government to "accelerate" this work.
