A busy Mansfield junction which has troubled drivers for some time remains a "shocking" issue, according to motorists. The junction, on Nottingham Road, connects Mansfield town centre to Nottingham and is also the major access point for the busy Mansfield Leisure Park.
The retail development, home to Sainsbury's and Aldi supermarkets, an Odeon cinema, three restaurants, a McDonald's and a bingo hall, is one of the most-used retail parks in Mansfield. Traffic accessing the development has been described as "shocking" for years, with cars getting backlogged going both north and south on Nottingham Road and struggling to exit the leisure park
Now, residents have spoken out about the traffic and dangers that they feel the road poses. Aimee Grehan, 34, who lives in Mansfield Woodhouse, said: "It's awful at this junction. I drive through it all the time for my job in Nottingham and the road is just backed up all the way down.
