A612 Road Closure & Bus Plugs

BJ's weather today cloudy with some sunshine




Following their much delayed review the County Council declared they would not re-open the old A612 to local traffic, despite pleas from the opposition and a 90% public desire to have the road opened. Pleas backed by a house to house signatured survey in Burton Joyce, Gedling and Netherfield
The Council and Government purport to create policy that will drive down carbon emissions. This road scheme increases local car travel by an extra 4 million miles ( the Conservative party claim )
Apart from the pollution, this is an inconvenience and cost to locals. it creates a barrier between communities, further congestion in Netherfield and Lambley and puts small shops and businesses at risk of closure


("I wish I had some financial interest in the manufacture and installation of new signs and traffic lights !!! Oh yes! oh yes!")



This type of re- action to local residents needs and views once again creates suspicion and "smacks" of "alternative agendas" behind the closed doors of power !!!!
