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.
