Nottingham has slipped down 76 spaces on a list of the best places to live across the UK. The Best Places to Live in the UK list was created by Garrington's Property Finders and takes into account a number of different categories such as green efficacy, natural beauty, architecture and quality of life.
Nottingham was at number 405 in 2021 but has sadly slipped 76 places this year to 481. While the report may record a low score of 966 for natural beauty, it scored highly at 94 for green efficacy which may be helped by new cycle lanes and the city-centre e-scooter scheme. The architecture scored 496 but, sadly, the quality of life score was recorded as 966 which suggested a lack of access to open green spaces, parks and reliable broadband.
So are the rankings right? We asked Nottingham residents how they felt about the changes and if the area could do with improvement. Janet Stanley is from Aspley in Nottingham and she said that she felt sorry for the city. Aspley is not recorded on the report but it is just three miles from the city centre.
