The Lord Mayor’s bus will operate all of NCT’s double-deck routes. NCT

Nottingham’s Lord Mayor Councillor Wendy Smith is showing her support for Nottingham’s aim to be carbon neutral by 2028 by hopping on board one of Nottingham City Transport’s fleet of low emission buses when travelling to civic duties in the city.

Wendy became the Lord Mayor of Nottingham in 2022 and has been a councillor for Bilborough since 2013. She says that NCT’s Bilborough routes have been her preferred way of getting around since moving to the area over 30 years ago, and now she is expanding her use of the NCT network by using routes throughout Nottingham when undertaking the duties of Lord Mayor.

Her passion for travelling by bus and to encourage others to follow her example is being promoted through a full-sized bus rear advert, which was recently unveiled at NCT’s depot.

NCT Managing Director David Astill said: “We are delighted to have Nottingham’s Lord Mayor on board. Her decision to travel with NCT demonstrates the convenience offered by our comprehensive network of high frequency and quality bus services at reasonable fares.”

Wendy added: “Using the buses is a quick, easy and relaxing way to get to events. I haven’t got to worry about parking and the bus lanes mean I’m less likely to be stuck in a traffic jam. And it’s better for the environment too.”
