Residents in a Nottinghamshire village who feel 'blocked into' their own street say they are now feeling hopeful that new plans for the neighbourhood can help solve the issues. Concerns have been raised recently about residents who are unable to get out of Shearing Close and Brooklands Drive in Gedling and onto the main road, Shearing Hill.
Councillor Mike Adams, Ward for Carlton East, is among those who have been campaigning for changes in the area to protect the junction and make accessing Shearing Hill easier for those who live nearby. Now, double yellow lines are set to be implemented on both Shearing Close and Brooklands Drive.
Residents, for the most part, have spoken out in favour of the plans, with one man "hopeful" that it will be easier to get in and out of the road going forward. Jan Bzdok, 58, works as a caretaker at a nearby school.
