A Thriving, Sustainable Economy
Introduction
Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) are led by local authorities and businesses across
economic areas. They provide the vision, knowledge and strategic leadership needed to
drive sustainable private sector growth and job creation in their area. There is a LEP for
Derby, Derbyshire, Nottingham and Nottinghamshire. At a local level, in 2010 the Council
launched a £10 million Regeneration Fund to support the delivery of new high quality
commercial development to establish Derby as a 21st Century investment location.
Infrastructure
Public Transport
11
The majority of public transport routes travelling along the arterial corridors terminate within
the city centre either at the bus station or on the surrounding streets. This means that access
to and from the city centre from the surrounding suburbs is excellent. As well as arterial
routes to the suburbs and villages beyond, National Express services also service the city
centre, providing routes to a number of cities including London, Cardiff and Bradford.
The southern section of the ward, including the Rosehill area is served by the four arterial
routes entering the city from the south, including the Stenson Road/Normanton Road,
London Road, Osmaston Road and Burton Road corridors.
Routes along these corridors include:
