A road scheme to try to alleviate peak time traffic delays through our village has been completed today. After initially being delayed for six months due to a planning oversight, work by Nottinghamshire County Council to convert the busy Clifton Road/Wilford Road T-Junction into a mini-roundabout finally began on the 9th of January. The last cones were removed and the final road closure lifted just after lunchtime today. Normal bus services have restarted on Nottingham City Transport‘s Navy 3 service whilst the LocalLink L22 & LocalLink L23 buses run by Nottingham Community Transport will resume tomorrow…

With construction of our new Ruddington roundabout well underway we thought it was time to bring you a bit of a progress report in words and pictures… The work, which began on the 9th of January, is to convert the current T-Junction where Clifton Road meets Wilford Road into a roundabout. You can read the background to this >>HERE<<. As you can see, a month on, most of the road widening work is now complete, with minimal impact on traffic so far.
