About the Greater Nottingham Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP)
Nottingham City Council have received government funding to deliver projects between 2023 and 2025.
While the Section 114 Report means that money Nottingham City Council can spend is currently strictly controlled, because external grant funding has previously been specifically allocated and approved for these schemes, it can continue to go ahead.
The Greater Nottingham Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) will deliver projects and programmes that improve the area’s bus services – including reducing fares for young people, delivering buses that are more frequent and reliable, and improving passenger waiting facilities.
