The mayor’s visit is part of a 12-week conversation with local residents, businesses and communities, and will help shape a 15-year plan for cleaner, fairer, and better-connected transport across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.

Public transport affects your educational experience, and traffic jams and unreliable buses can have a negative impact on your time so make sure you’re part of the conversation.

Claire will be available to talk to at lunchtime on Thursday 29 January. You’ll find her on B floor of the Portland Building on University Park Campus.

Key priorities that Claire wants your thoughts on include:

• Tackling congestion – where are the worst traffic pinch points in your area?

• Giving you autonomy – how can we make travel safe and affordable for students?

• Connecting communities – what improvements would help link towns, cities and places of study?

• Reliable public transport – where do buses and trains need to be more dependable?

• Better roads – which areas need urgent maintenance?

• Safe and clean bus stops – what would make stops more accessible and welcoming?

The conversation is running until Sunday 8 February. Visit the East Midlands Combined Authority Website for more information.
