A group of neighbours are opposing a new travel scheme which would lead to cars being banned from a road in favour of cyclists and pedestrians. Nottinghamshire County Council has proposed the changes to Dovecote Lane in Beeston and said the road was narrow at its northern end and it was keen to make cycling more appealing for all ages.
Previously, Nottinghamshire Live went and visited the road to ask what residents thought - getting a positive response. Now, residents strongly oppose plans, thinking it will make things far worse.
Cynthia Wood, 60, who is retired and lives on Barton Street next to Dovecote Lane, thinks the scheme is a 'bad idea'. She aded: "I've lived here seven years and it has never been a rat run. It's a bad idea and I've objected to it.
