Derbyshire OptionsBalancing the transport goals:1. Emphasis on supporting economic growth, better

safety, security and health, quality of life and healthy natural environment (based on results of Derbyshire Surveys in 2009)

2. Emphasis on tackling climate change and supporting economic growth (described as the biggest challenge in DfT DaSTS)

3. Tackling inequality (not a popular choice in consultations, but important to Derbyshire – rural accessibility and deprived urban areas)

Measures in Greater Nottingham Area?

Key areas of work likely to be around:

Helping settlements to ‘stand on their own feet’

e.g. development of cycling network

Ensuring accessibility to higher-level services in Nottingham, Derby etc e.g. provision of Ilkeston rail station
