We are currently undertaking a survey to search for new pulsars and the recently found Rotating RAdio Transcients (RRATs) in the Cygnus OB complex. The survey uses the Westerbrok Synthesis Radio Telescope in a unique mode which gives it the best sensitivity of any low-frequency wide-area survey. So far we have found a few new pulsars and have begun using routines for the detection of RRATs. We present here some initial results on the new pulsars and possible transients. We expect to find a few tens of new pulsars and a similar number of RRATs. The latter discoveries will help us to improve our knowledge about the population and properties of the poorly known objects as well as provide an improved knowledge of the number of young pulsars associated with the OB complexes in the Cygnus region.
