Government funding announced for eight low carbon buses for Nottingham

​EIGHT low carbon buses will be introduced to the streets of Nottingham following a Government grant of �760,320.
The money has been given to Nottingham City Council to fund the Optare Solo single decker electric buses.
It is from a pot of more than �46 million, announced by Transport Minister Norman Baker today, which will see 542 new low carbon buses on roads across England by March 2012,
The money is part of the Government's drive to target investment in new projects that promote green growth and encourage use of sustainable local transport.
Mr Baker said: "My vision is for a transport system that cuts carbon and creates growth.
"Low carbon buses emit around 30 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions than standard diesel buses and use around a third less fuel – that is why it was so important to kick-start the market.
"They also represent an important and developing industry – both in this country and throughout the world – which has the potential to create jobs and boost economic growth.
"Green buses are therefore an absolute no brainer – they are the perfect combination of targeted investment that help people make the transport choices that are good for society as a whole."
