Nottingham councillors described plans for a new bridge over the River Trent as “sustainable, accessible and exciting” as they voted them through unanimously. The pedestrian and cycle bridge will link Trent Basin, which sits off Daleside Road in the city, to the south bank of the river close to the Hook nature reserve in Lady Bay, Rushcliffe.
“You have got increased connectivity between that part in the county, Lady Bay is more accessible, the Lady Bay retail park is more accessible. Cllr Kirsty Jones added: “It is accessible for people with disabilities too. So there are ramps there for people using wheelchairs and pushchairs too. It is really positive.”
An online survey received a total of 1,198 responses, with 83 per cent supporting the scheme, 65 per cent supporting the proposed location, and 75 per cent liking the proposed design. Amphitheatre-style steps will form the base of the bridge ramp and, in addition to the main bridge, a connecting bridge over Trent Basin will also be built.
