People opposite an Arnold development that caused two lorry incidents in one day say they welcome the new housing on land which was previously an "eyesore." Two lorries were carrying wide loads towards the modular housing site off Rolleston Drive on Tuesday (May 30) when an incident forced the closure of a road for over six hours.
A crane had to reposition the load of one lorry after it slipped off on Thackeray's Lane in Woodthorpe. But one of the lorries then had to be halted again at around 6.30pm on Sandfield Road, with the second incident causing damage to a car.
People living in Woodthorpe said the accidents were "waiting to happen", whilst the company behind the housing project concerned apologised for the inconvenience and said it would review the route used by the lorries. But people living opposite the development off Rolleston Drive say despite this week's incidents, the project has caused little disruption for them.
