Plans could have seen 800 new spaces being shared between sites in Hucknall and Bulwell
The extension of two Nottinghamshire tram park and ride sites by hundreds of spaces has been scrapped due to the rise in home working. The Hucknall and Phoenix Park stations, the latter being located near Bulwell , could have had an extra 800 spaces between them.
These numbers will remain the same after Nottingham City Council agreed with the government to scrap expansion plans. The council, together with Derby City Council, had secured £161 million from the Department for Transport in 2019 under the 'transforming cities fund'.The fund had been established to allow councils to invest in public transport improvements and improve transport links more broadly.
"This resulted in the need to review some of the proposals that were originally approved." Two projects have therefore been scrapped, with the park and ride expansions being one of them. The money that would have gone on the two scrapped projects has been reallocated to some of the other 33 that have become more expensive. Twenty one schemes in Nottingham's programme have already been completed, with the council now entering the final year for the majority of works.
