Nottingham City Council officers have now advised councillors to approve the £12m project
Nottingham is set to get its first new crossing over the River Trent in decades after public support trumped parking and antisocial behaviour fears. Plans for the new 87-metre-long pedestrian and cycle 'Waterside Bridge' over the River Trent , linking the Trent Basin area in Nottingham to Lady Bay in Rushcliffe, were submitted by Nottingham City Council in February after lengthy delays.
The bridge scheme, its location, and its design were all endorsed by what the council called an "extensive" public consultation before the plans were finalised. A report, which will be considered by committee members before they vote on the proposals, outlined the bridge would "significantly improve" accessibility over the river - particularly for existing and future residents of the Trent Basin housing estate and other Waterside area developments.
Local resident responses also referred to parking issues and increased foot traffic during sports events, the council report said. Officers explained these problems were "recognised" and added "increased traffic enforcement may be necessary" as spectators flock to Nottingham Forest's City Ground and Trent Bridge Cricket Ground.
