Residents voice concerns over A52 roadworks between Beeston and Nottingham. They want a say on a year-long project with delays.
National Highways is holding meetings for locals to explain the plans and answer questions. Some residents think the timing of the events is off, wishing for input before the plan was set.
One local man thinks the road will be too narrow and the bike path could create problems. A couple felt better about pavement size after seeing plans, but they worry about moving the bus stop. They fear accidents may happen because it is too close to the road turn.
Another resident learned about the plan from a letter and feels he had no say. He works at the QMC and anticipates the road work will cause major traffic, significantly lengthening his commute.
Locals say cars speed on the road and they want speed cameras installed, believing it’s a dangerous area.
People hope the project helps the area, but they still have some doubts. The project manager says the plan makes the road better for drivers, walkers, and cyclists. Doing all work at once limits long term trouble.
