Local business owners and workers have slammed a busy Sherwood road as a 'race track', and want to see speeding motorists stopped. Nottinghamshire Police officers conducted a speed operation on a number of roads in Bestwood, Top Valley and Sherwood, including on Haydn Road.
Five motorists were stopped and advised about their speed on the Sherwood road during the operation on March 22. Seven motorists were stopped on Brownlow Drive in Top Valley with two issued tickets as part of the operation too, and the community there branded that road a 'race track' as well.
One driver was stopped during the operation on Perry Road, and no issues were reported on Queens Bower Road and Beckhampton Road. On Haydn Road, the 20mph road which connect Basford and Sherwood, the junction with Woodville Road, towards the Mansfield Road end, has already been closed off to stop it being used as a rat run.
