Ruddington Traffic Chaos to Continue?

18th July 201725th July 2017 Graham Wright

There’s frustration among Ruddington’s road users after 4-way temporary traffic lights suddenly sprang up in our village centre at the weekend. Although it was known the exterior of the Red Lion was due to be repainted there was little advance warning that the impact for motorists would be so severe. New scaffolding erected around the pub is taking a short section of both High Street and Easthorpe Street down to a single lane – meaning that 24-hour signals are needed. Since Sunday there have been severe peak time delays for drivers. Nottingham City Transport‘s Navy 3 and Green 10…
