Despite the continuing construction of four major new housing developments in Ruddington, no very disruptive roadworks are planned around our village during the summer of 2022 so far.
Nevertheless, there are several sets of highway works liable to cause some inconvenience and delays for village motorists over the coming weeks. These include two total closures of Dutton’s Hill this July for more gas work. Although both of these ‘Prohibition of Driving’ notices are scheduled only for Sundays, traffic cutting through the estate to avoid a longer diversionary route is liable to result in further frustration for residents along St John’s Road and St Mary’s Crescent in particular.
The dates to note are:-
- Sunday 19th June 2022 – 08:00 Hours to 18:00 Hours – Two-Way Temporary Traffic Signals on Wilford Road at Dutton’s Hill (adjacent to The Hermitage – photo above) – HV Boundary Box Installation by Severn Trent Water
