Frustrated residents have spoken out about their street after a petition was created demanding that its pavements be fixed. Pavements in Wolsey Road, a residential street in Newark, have been described as the "worst for miles around" by councillors due to the poor condition of the paths.
More than 100 residents have signed a petition which was handed to the Chairman of Nottinghamshire County Council by Councillor Debbie Darby during the council meeting on Thursday, January 19. The petition is calling on the County Council to address the tree roots coming through the pavements on Wolsey Road, and repair the pavements as a matter of urgency.
Councillor Darby said: "Can I present over 100 signatures on behalf of residents in Newark including popular local campaigner Gill Dawn. We are asking the County Council to deal with the protruding tree roots and repair the pavements on Wolsey Road, Newark.
