Concerns have been raised over the state of a major road, dubbed 'one of the most dangerous in Nottinghamshire', after two cars were said to have flipped on their roofs in just one month. Almost 700 people have signed a petition calling for improvements to Park Lane B6018, which connects Selston and Kirkby-in-Ashfield.
David Martin, Nottinghamshire County Councillor for Selston, handed the petition in at a county council meeting on March 31. The councillor, who also represents the Underwoood Ward, told Nottinghamshire Live that problems were being caused by excess mud on the road known locally as Bentinck Lane.
"There's a lot of excess mud because of haulage contractors. The mud from the lorries is blocking the drains," he said. Cllr Martin said passing lorries caused mud to block the drainage system, leaving the road prone to freezing due to the remaining surface water.
