Queens Drive park-and-ride is likely to remain closed for the next few days due to the risk of flooding.

A combination of snowfall overnight on Saturday which melted quickly the following morning, together with further torrential rain on Sunday evening and the early hours of today (Monday 6 January), has caused the site to be closed for safety reasons.

Rising levels of the nearby River Trent over the coming days will likely cause floodwater to collect in significant sections of the car park. Water can sometimes take a while to recede and staff will then need to check infrastructure on site and carry out any repairs.

CT4N’s Medilink service continues to run whenever Queens Drive is closed, operating between the Queen’s Medical Centre and City Hospital, via Wilkinson Street. More information, including a timetable, can be found here.

Nottingham City Council will provide further updates this week and would remind drivers that an alternative option is available at Nottingham Racecourse near Colwick Park, as well as tram park-and-rides at Clifton, Toton Lane, The Forest, Hucknall, Moor Bridge, Phoenix Park and Wilkinson Street.
