Plans which could transform a Nottinghamshire town's main roads have been largely welcomed by most residents - although some in Stapleford have raised questions about how the proposed 'Mini-Holland’ cycle scheme for the town would work. The plans are still in the early stages, with a feasibility study being carried out this month, but if it progresses it could see a new network in Stapleford that would prioritise walking and cycling, transforming roads and streets to make them as cycle friendly as those seen in the Netherlands.
The aim of 'Mini-Holland' is to make changes to the local roads to make walking and cycling trips in the area easier and more pleasant.
Nottinghamshire County Council has secured funding from the Department for Transport (DfT) to undertake a feasibility study in December. The study will seek the opinions of residents and workers in Stapleford to find out what they enjoy most about the town, how they travel in the area, and what they think could be improved.
