Nottinghamshire Live readers have called for less talk more action as plans for a new bridge over the River Trent moved a step nearer.

"This country is an absolute joke when it comes to infrastructure of any kind. It's always overpriced and takes donkeys years to get started. Imagine the Victorians being beamed to 2024, they would be disgusted at how inept we have become."User Lincolnmagpie said: "The government is pushing us into electric cars, make city centre available to them and build this bridge to get them there.
Hugh_j said: "When you look at a map of Nottingham & suburbs with an open mind; and you have funding for a foot/cycle bridge; to me personally, I’d think the obvious place would be: Clifton to Beeston, or Radcliffe to Colwick. Taking into consideration there is already a pedestrian crossing at both Trent Bridge and Ladybay, close to this new site. But hey, I wasn’t on the mystery panel. I’m sure the East-siders will love it.
