Villagers fear they are being forgotten about "out in the sticks" as the roads surrounding the village continue to deteriorate. Residents of Hawksworth and neighbouring villages of Thoroton and Scarrington have expressed concern over the state of the roads.
The remote villages rely on a few narrow Nottinghamshire roads to connect them to other villages, towns and the nearby A46, but residents feel the poor quality of the road is deterring visitors from Hawksworth and making it difficult for residents to travel elsewhere.
Retired Sarah Hadfield, 72, of Hawksworth said: "The problem is when they repair these holes they just patch it with a bit of tarmac on the top and then we are back to square one. They don't do it properly as we are out in the sticks.
