Melton Mowbray excelled with 63.9% while Loughborough struggled at 43.7% across Nottinghamshire's eight centres that processed 56,027 tests between 2024 and 2025. The market town of Melton offers quieter roads compared to university town Loughborough with its busy student traffic and complex A6 junction systems.
