Villagers in Cossall say they support improvements to ‘medieval’ through roads where ‘traffic is getting worse’. In March Cossall Parish Council submitted its Cossall Neighbourhood Plan to Broxtowe Borough Council, now a consultation period for the plan is in place from May 30 until July 14 this year over the recommendations made in the plan.
One of the key items within the neighbourhood plan proposes to reduce the impact of road traffic on residents and property by seeking design solutions to slow the traffic, increase pedestrian safety and reduce the volume of through traffic cutting through Cossall.
The plan states that the majority of roads in Cossall are through roads connecting Cossall to Ilkeston and the adjoining Parishes of Awsworth and Trowell. It describes Cossall Road, Dead Lane to Church Lane as ‘medieval in origin that has developed over many centuries and is not suited to the needs of modern traffic.’
