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.

These include new double yellow lines in front of the Victoria Tavern Inn and adjacent houses on Wilford Road – and also the…

Bostock ceased trading at 70 Wilford Road last year after 56 years – when owners Tony and Hazel Theaker retired. You can read their story HERE. The property was put up for sale with outline planning permission already granted to demolish the existing building (left) and for two traditional three-storey semi-detached homes to be built there. However it was bought by Mascari Design Solutions Ltd who have spent most of the past…

New Roundabout Delayed!

26th July 20163rd August 2016 Graham Wright

It’s emerged that work to build Ruddington’s new roundabout was halted just days before it was due to begin because of a failure to consult properly with affected properties. Construction was due to start today (Tuesday 26th July) at the Wilford Road/Clifton Road junction and should have been completed by the end of August. However Nottinghamshire County Council has now belatedly issued a consultation document to explain its proposals to “ensure the safe operation of the junction”. These include new double yellow lines in front of the Victoria Tavern Inn and adjacent houses on Wilford Road…
