Essential works taking place on quiet street have caused a stir amongst residents as the traffic bollards and barriers have toppled over onto the road, making it look like 'a bomb site'.
Work is being carried out on Crawford Rise by Severn Trent Water, to support the new development nearby and to reinforce the network.
Pictures of the street in Arnold show traffic barriers toppled over onto parts of the road and traffic cones across the street.
Labour councillor for Gedling Borough Council, Henry Wheeler says the toppling signage looks like 'a bomb site'.
He said: "The problem is all the traffic bollards falling over because of the wind.
"It looks like a bomb site, it impacts the road and is quite dangerous for vehicles and pedestrians won't be able to walk.
"I'm not blaming Severn Trent, but I have asked them to try and resolve it."
Sarah Berkins, 37, mother, who lives opposite the roadworks, says they fall 'like dominoes'.
She said: "They've been falling down all week, it's like dominoes, one after the other.
"People are having trouble parking because of the traffic lights and the noise can frighten my daughter.
"It's been getting worse since the wind has picked up."
Ben Gosling, 32, self-employed, says the parking is the main issue for residents.
He said: "If the work has got to be done then it has got to be done.
"Every single one was down this morning and they've blown over again.
"It's due to the wind, but you can't blame Severn Trent."
A Severn Trent spokesperson said: “We’re really sorry for the disruption caused by our teams carrying out essential work on Crawford Rise. This vital work is seeing us reinforce our network to support the nearby new development, meaning customers water supplies remain unaffected when the new properties are connected.
"Our finish date has been slightly extended due to access issues involving parked cars that were not moved, meaning we were unable to carry out some work. We’re aiming to have the work completed towards the end of the week, and then we’ll look to reinstate the road and have everything back to normal early next week.
"Again, we’re incredibly sorry for the disruption and for the delay. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience, and it’s our priority to get everything back to normal as quickly as possible.”
