THE solution of Nottingham's trans1 port problems can be reached only by adopting a scheme of rapid mass transport based on moving people, rather than vehicles, states the report of a committee of inquiry set up by Nottingham Chamber of Commerce.
Nottingham would have to follow London in its realistic attitude and provide `a. rapid service to cope with the tremendous movement in and out of the suburbs. To this end, the report suggests a railway system on the lines of the London Underground.
Kerbside parking was one of the main causes of traffic congestion in the city, but the committee considered that the needs of short-term parkers must be catered for. • Among other suggestions were the provision . of multi-storey car parks, parking meters, fly-over ramps, and unilateral parking.
