River bridges create natural points of convergence and are often heavily dominated by motor traffic, making them unpleasant for walkers and cyclists. Dedicated bridges for walking and cycling can encourage active travel by providing shorter, safer, and more pleasant routes.

This talk will focus on the proposed foot and cycle bridge over the River Trent, which aims to connect the former Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station site and East Midlands Parkway Station on the south side with Chilwell, Toton, Attenborough, and Long Eaton on the north side.

Hugh McClintock is a retired University of Nottingham lecturer in town planning and has been actively involved in cycle campaigning since 1979. He works nationally, regionally, and locally with Pedals (Nottingham Cycling Campaign).
