Nottinghamshire residents have shared what its like to live on a "busy" street you can't leave in peak times. The Banks is a residential street in Bingham that residents say has a constant stream of traffic, and during peak times they can't leave their homes. The road leading to the main entrance to the school is located off the residential street.
Many residents say that the road is used as a cut through, but at school times it is almost impossible for them to leave their homes due to the traffic to and from Toot Hill Academy and its sixth form college. The school has almost 2,000 pupils, as well as members of staff and teachers coming to the site for training.
Retired resident, Phil Drabble, 69, said: "It's not so much an issue with the parking as the residents have the right to park their cars there and so do the people over the way and the people here without drives. The problem is the volume of traffic that comes down this road, it's used as a rat run.
