A petition to remove a Nottinghamshire bus plug that councillors say is causing tailbacks has garnered hundreds of signatures. Councillors have appealed for the bus plug on Burton Road in Gedling, near its junction with Colliery Way (formerly Gedling Access Road), to be removed by Nottinghamshire County Council.
Trent Valley ward councillors Mike Adams and Sam Smith urged locals to sign a petition to remove the bus plug, which hundreds have now done, citing problems with the measure. "Here on Burton Road we have a bus plug that was effective back in the day but is no longer effective, you've got the Gedling Access Road traffic lights just a few hundred yards down [the road].
"With two sets of lights in such close proximity it causes tailbacks along Burton Road," Mr Smith said. "We recognise the problems this is causing on your way to work, on your way to school. It can't be doing anything for the local environment with the additional engines waiting," Mr Adams added.
