What is the Transforming Cities Fund?
In 2020, Nottingham and Derby City Councils were successful in securing funding from the Department of Transport’s (DfT) Transforming Cities fund when they were awarded £161m for a huge programme of transport improvements.
The joint bid was the only one in the country to secure the full amount requested from the DfT. Now, Nottingham is over three years into the massive programme of works. All the schemes meet key TCF objectives: Supporting commuting, employment, development and economic growth.
