Residents close to a popular leisure site and frequented swimming location have told of “horrendous” traffic in the area. Those living close to the Spring Lakes watersports centre - where floating dining pods have recently opened - and the opposite lake owned by Cemex in Long Eaton have shared their struggles living close to the site, describing the roads as a “free-for-all”.
This comes as Derbyshire County Council imposed a traffic regulation order, prohibiting vehicles from waiting at any time and stopping at any time in certain areas. Officials from Spring Lakes, the site located off Pasture Lane, have since told Nottinghamshire Live that attendees are closely monitored and planned sessions at the site are staggered to ensure traffic and car park flow are reasonable.
The lake opposite Spring Lakes, owned by Cemex, has become a hot spot for anti-social behaviour, with members of the public attending and illegally swimming at the site and parking in Pasture Lane - a narrow gravel lane. Now residents have opened up about living close to both sites.
