Nottingham City Centre - Statutory Quality Partnership Scheme

The new Statutory Quality Partnership Scheme (SQPS) is a partnership between the City Council and local bus operators, which brings benefits to passengers by improving the quality of services and facilities within the City Centre area.  SQPS introduces a framework ensuring that increased demand to access the City Centre is provided for, by an expanding high quality public transport network

Furthermore, the planned growth of the conurbation (Sustainable Urban Extensions) will inevitably put additional strain on the the City Centre and the introduction of the Slot Booking System and improved enforcement will ensure a more managed and efficient use of the limited kerb space.

The formal consultation process for the implementation of the SQPS was undertaken between November 2009 and January 2010.  The Scheme was formally made on Friday 29th January 2010 and will come into operation from Sunday 2nd May 2010.
