A canal towpath in Nottingham has won an environmental award for encouraging people to leave their cars at home. The 7km stretch of the Nottingham - Beeston Canal towpath has been redeveloped over the past three years at a cost of �750,000.
British Waterways estimate that 20,000 walkers and cyclists now use it every month to get into the city.
In recognition of this, the canal towpath has been given a National Green Apple Silver Award.
The Green Organisation launched the National Green Apple Civic Pride Awards in 2003 to recognise efforts to preserve and protect the environment.
