Residents and businesses from Stapleford are being asked to offer feedback and find out more about the feasibility of introducing a ‘Mini-Holland’ scheme.
A Mini-Holland scheme is designed to make an area as cycle and pedestrian-inclusive as possible by upgrading local roads to be more amenable to active travel options.
Nottinghamshire County Council announced that is has secured funding from the Department for Transport (DfT) to undertake a feasibility study about people’s mobility needs and wants.
The feasibility study is being developed by Aecom on behalf of the county council.
Neil Clarke MBE, council and cabinet member for transport and environment, said: “We are excited by this opportunity, and we need to make sure it’s right for the area.
“The feasibility study will look at traffic flows, current walking and cycling infrastructure and people’s travel patterns to see what type of schemes could work in the area.
“These could include improvements to the look and feel of local streets; new and improved facilities for wheelchair and mobility scooter users, walkers and cyclists; and improvements to roads, such as new crossing facilities.
“It’s important that residents and local businesses are involved in discussions from the start, and we welcome everyone’s feedback.”
The consultation will be run from 1 to 31 December 2022, the council has said.
