New Ruddington Roundabouts on the Way!

9th January 20239th January 2023 Graham Wright

National Highways has revealed that the final part of a major upgrade to the A52 around Nottingham has now moved a step closer – with work to enlarge and redesign the two main roundabouts taking traffic in and out of Ruddington scheduled to begin next summer. The agency has announced it’s appointed Griffiths Farrans Joint Venture (GFJV) as the main contractor to deliver the project. GFJV will finalise the design and construct the remaining two junctions at Nottingham Knight and Wheatcroft – with its work due to start in September…

Help Shape Ruddington’s Future in 2023

1st January 20231st January 2023 Graham Wright

Whilst most residents think Ruddington is still a great place to live, complaints are frequently seen on social media and elsewhere about the significant amount of new house building that’s been permitted in and around our village. Inevitably our growing population is resulting in an increase in local traffic, a lack of public parking, the over-stretching of our existing facilities such as schools and doctors, and a general strain on our fundementally ‘Victorian’ era infrastructure. It’s also having a significant impact on our ‘natural’ environment – as precious former Green Belt land…

Ruddington Resurfacing Resumes

11th April 201813th April 2018 Graham Wright

Weather permitting, the road resurfacing work which did not get completed on one of Ruddington’s estates, due to ice and snow, will finally be done TOMORROW (Thursday 12th April). Peter Topliss from Via East Midlands has confirmed to RUDDINGTON.info that Brookside Road, Brookside Gardens, Templeman Close and Shelton Gardens are still on the current schedule to be repaired and Micro Asphalted – to join up with the work which was completed on Grange Avenue and Fairham Close last month. Affected residents can expect their road to be shut, with no parking allowed, between…

What About OUR Ruddy Road?

21st March 201822nd March 2018 Graham Wright

Residents in the Brookside Road area of Ruddington were left bewildered after Nottinghamshire County Council‘s contractors upped and left before completing the promised and desperately needed work on their crumbling roads. The bad weather had meant the planned pothole filling work on Camelot Street and repair and resurfacing of the rest of the estate was slightly behind schedule – with only Grange Avenue and Fairham Close being completed before the weekend. As the snow thawed on Monday morning, householders in the other streets obeyed the new signs; to keep their roads…

Wilford Road Gas Works

15th March 201815th March 2018 Graham Wright

As we await disruption caused by water pipeline works at Ruddington’s northern boundary – which were postponed due to the recent snow and ice (and are now rescheduled for the end of April) – around a week of gas installation work is now underway at the same site! A spokesperson for Fulcrum Pipelines has confirmed to RUDDINGTON.info that two-way 24-hour temporary signals will be needed on Wilford Road from TODAY (Thursday 15th March) for up to three days just south of the Landmere Lane junction. Workers are installing a new 4.4 metre gas main to supply…

Ruddington’s Roads Resurfaced

9th March 201813th March 2018 Graham Wright

The yellow signs are up heralding the long-awaited road repairs which are desperately needed throughout a couple of our village housing estates. Soon cars and bikes will no longer have to negotiate their way around muddy potholes – once Micro Asphalt resurfacing works have been carried out by Via East Midlands on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council. However local residents will have to plan for their road to be closed, with no parking allowed, between 7.30am and 5.00pm on at least one weekday this month. The latest schedule shows another delay to…

Wilford Road Water Work

26th February 20186th March 2018 Graham Wright

The new roadworks scheduled this week at Ruddington’s northern boundary have been delayed due to the icy conditions and predicted heavy snow. Two-way 24-hour temporary signals were due to be in operation on Wilford Road from first thing TODAY (Monday 26th February) until this Wednesday (28th February) around 40 metres south of the Landmere Lane junction. Severn Trent Water needs to dig up the road to install a new connection to an existing main in order to supply the new housing next to the new care home there. Once this work begins, traffic flow…

‘Tavern Island’ Opens

1st March 20178th March 2017 Graham Wright

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…

Roundabout Roundup

12th February 201716th February 2017 Graham Wright

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. However we’re being warned that the next phase will be the most…

Roundabout Now?

4th January 20175th January 2017 Graham Wright

Construction of a new roundabout in Ruddington is finally set to begin after being delayed almost six months by a failure to consult properly with affected properties. Originally work was due to start on the 26th of July last year at the Wilford Road/Clifton Road junction and should have been completed by the end of the school summer holidays. Following a four week consultation Nottinghamshire County Council rubber-stamped their new parking and waiting restrictions at a Highways meeting in October. These include new double yellow lines in front of the Victoria Tavern Inn and adjacent houses on Wilford Road – and also the…
