Recognition for reduction in motorcycle accidents across Derbyshire
Derbyshire County Council has been awarded a Green Flag by the Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) for its outstanding work for reducing motorcycle accidents in the county. In 2007, a third of all road users ‘Killed and Seriously Injured' (KSI) in Derbyshire were motorcyclists; following a focus on prioritising motorcycle accidents through ‘operation-focused' activity, in 2008 this figure was reduced by 32% to 127.

Green Flag for Transport in Nottinghamshire. Nottinghamshire County Council (CC) has been awarded a Green Flag for its excellent provision of public transport across the county.

An independent MORI survey reported user satisfaction figures of 76.9% (over 90% for trams) for public transport in Nottingham making it the joint highest in the country. This, combined with the sustained increase in use of public transport in the city, 7% since 2004 excluding concessions, has earned Nottingham City Council a Comprehensive Area Assessment (CAA) Green Flag.
