Upbeat residents living off a 'broken road' have spoken of their relief after requests to resurface the street were listened to. Pot holes in Sandy Lane, Hucknall, stretch from top to bottom, with Nottinghamshire County Council confirming that part of the street - from its junction with Wood Lane past its junction with Derbyshire Lane - will be resurfaced.
Though delighted that the "worst part of Sandy Lane" will be improved, residents and Ashfield Independent councillors are still hoping that the entirety of the street will eventually be resurfaced. One neighbour expressed his joy about the attention that is set to be given to the road, but also questioned why it had taken so long for improvements to be made.
The street was identified by the county council on March 23 earlier this year and included in their rolling three year capital maintenance programmes for highway improvements. Work is set to start next March.
