Major plans near popular Nottinghamshire retail park 'will help fix real problems'

Plans have been unveiled to fix "real problems" close to a popular Nottinghamshire retail park. Issues have been ongoing for a number of years with motorists blocking both lanes into Victoria Retail Park, Netherfield, as they attempt to go to and from Nottingham city.

As a result, a box junction close to the McDonald's at the site is set to be implemented at the end of April. The box junction was supposed to be in place between March 6 and March 10, but plans were pushed back due to poor weather conditions.

Conservative Mike Adams, city councillor for Carlton East, uploaded a video to Facebook in November 2020, saying the "backlog" traffic causes problems for motorists in Colwick, Netherfield, Burton Joyce and other parts of Gedling. He also stated the absence of a box junction creates safety issues - particularly for emergency services trying to get in and out of the area.
