Busy Burton Joyce road closed for a month due to gas works but it's 'no big deal'

Residents in a Nottinghamshire village have insisted the closure of a busy road through their community is 'no big deal'. Cadent started gas works in Main Street, Burton Joyce, on Monday, July 3, and the work is expected to carry on until August.

Among those affected by the closure is Silvia Brice, 66, of Nottingham Road, who said: "There hasn’t been a build up of traffic or anything like that so I would say everything has gone rather well. A lot of people have cars around here and some people get the buses which have diverted slightly, it will be over before you know it.”

Silvia added: “It’s better to be safe than sorry.” The Nottingham City Transport Lilac Line, 26 and the N26 will divert in both directions through Nottingham Road (A612). Temporary bus stops will be located on Nottingham Road.
