Essential work is taking place to fix a "death trap" road in Nottinghamshire. Jason Zadrozny, an Ashfield Independents county councillor in Kirkby-in-Ashfield, had called for Mill Lane to be shut due to the "poor condition" of the route.
The lane goes from Kirkby-in-Ashfield to Annesley and has deteriorated to the point where residents fear it is too dangerous to use, according to the politician. Following complaints from dozens of people, Councillor Zadrozny demanded that the road be closed and fixed as "an absolute priority".
Via East Midlands - which provides highways services for Nottinghamshire - has confirmed that roadworks started on Mill Lane on January 16 and will last until 11.59pm on January 27. The Via East Midlands website states: "Nottinghamshire County Council is carrying out essential works in this area.
