Beeston Fields has it only little map. complete with bus info

 This small A5 landscape map first saw light of day in early-2019 and a few things have changed since then. Not least, the Beeston Fields Estate has lost its Monday-Saturday half-hourly bus service into Beeston town centre. Now we have just three journeys each way on Mondays and Thursdays, thanks to local government budget cuts.

I live in Beeston Fields, so know the estate quite well. I use the post office on Central Avenue when I need one and I visit The DoughMother Bakery and Café every week for a few hours to read and write. I also walk around Beeston Fields Recreation Ground regularly. 

It's a friendly estate and even with our regular estate bus, we are no more than ten minutes walk from high frequency bus services along the Derby and Woodside roads, and the town centre is just as close and, there, we can catch the tram as well. 

Nottingham City Centre is, even with the walk, within 35 minutes if you don't have to with for a bus and Derby City Centre is an hour away door-to-door. In other words, Beeston Fields is a good place to live.

Anyway, here is my update map. None of the shops on Central Avenue have changed since 2019 with the exception of one closure. It's much the same at the Priory Island shops.

The map has been designed so to is easy to read and there is a folded postcard in the process of being prepared for printing. I'm just waiting for an advert.

I am a lover of trees and I have an image in my head of Nottingham City Transport's 36 bus and Trent-Barton Indigo travelling along a corridor of trees as they travel through Beeston. I hope the attached will tell you more:

The first image is of a banner being made for me for two events in Beeston later this month. Once I have more details I will share them with you. The second and thirds images are two sides of a leaflet which will accompany the banner when it is on display and, finally, an enlarged version of the sketch map I originally created in June 2020.

I describe my vision 'Creating Green Corridors'. Click on each image in turn to enlarge. I also hope to take them into Beeston High Road when there are nice days. Just turn up and pull up my banner with a small table for my leaflets.
