There were concerns about the amount of traffic
Nottinghamshire County Council says it takes the safety of people attending City Ground and Trent Bridge fixtures 'very seriously' amid concerns about the amount of traffic caused. A petition was handed in earlier this year, signed by 233 people, calling for traffic issues around West Bridgford to be addressed on matchdays.
In its response, the council says: "The County Council is aware of the traffic issues created by visitors to the City Ground on match days. Traffic has increased due in part to the increased profile of the club in the Premier League and in part due to frequent rail strikes that have impacted upon the availability of public transport for away supporters.
The council says these proposals include residential parking permit schemes on several streets, adding: "Potential safety matters arising are taken very seriously." Presenting the petition earlier this year, Labour's Councillor Penny Gowland said: "This year, I've become a firm fan of Nottingham Forest Football Club and I want everybody in West Bridgford to be able to share in the excitement of home games.
