Rushcliffe Borough Council
Key Competitive Attractions
Rushcliffe lies immediately south of Nottingham, and extends towards Newark in the North East and Loughborough in the South West. Although parts of the Borough are close to Nottingham, Rushcliffe has a strong identity of its own. The main centre of population is West Bridgford, with around 36,000 of the Borough's 100,000 plus population. The remainder of the district is largely rural, containing small towns and villages.
Access to the M1 motorway and the A1 road is easy. Main line rail services are available at Nottingham and nearby Grantham, with London under two hours away. The East Midlands International Airport is just outside the Borough boundary. Access to Birmingham and the National Exhibition Centre is straightforward and quick, thanks to the M1/A42/M42 link.
