Residents in Burton Joyce said they are “relieved” that new road safety measures will be introduced to the village. Some say speed isn't always considered by drivers coming into their village and accidents have happened.
Nottingham Road, the main entrance to the village from Colwick Loop Road, and Marris Drive have been highlighted as concerns and residents say they finally feel listened to after new road safety measures were announced, with many agreeing that new signs will hopefully help with speeding issues. Hilary Collins, 59, said: “People zoom into the village, they drive anyhow and they don’t slow down from the 40 [miles per hour] off the Colwick Loop Road. “We’ve needed this [the new measures] for a long time.”
Hillary, who is a civil servant, lives in Burton Joyce, continued: “I’m glad there’s new measures being introduced, it’s [speeding] has been worse since the Gedling Access Road.”
