The boss of Nottingham City Transport (NCT) says he wants to stay “well away” from any changes in the way the bus company operates under the new East Midlands Combined County Authority.

Bus passenger journeys in Notts are showing no sign of returning to pre-Covid levels as more people choose to work from home and study online long-term. David Astill, managing director of Nottingham City Transport (NCT), says the smaller number of passenger journeys by bus have reached a “new normal” following the pandemic. Between April 2018 and March 2019, before the pandemic, NCT’s buses carried 49.1m passengers, compared to 48.8m the year before.

Plans to demolish a pub in Arnold to make way for retirement flats have been recommended for approval by planners. The Friar Tuck, in Gedling Road, is currently owned by Greene King and was originally opened in 1958. Retirement property company McCarthy and Stone had already submitted plans to demolish the pub in August last year, in favour of building a 51-bed retirement living development in its place. The pub was then closed in October.
