Daytime closures commence on Kipling Drive, near Uttoxeter Road. The work should last nine days, improving the road surface.

The project lasts nine work days, expecting completion on Thursday, March 13. The council mentioned temporary daytime issues and apologized for any trouble.
The work zone is from the roundabout to number four Kipling Drive. To help Tesco and Acacia Avenue access, Kipling Drive will close in three parts. The phased closure lessens the impact on traffic.
The council wants to do the work safely and appreciates everyone’s patience and cooperation. The team will work hard to reduce problems, prioritizing motorist and pedestrian safety.
Crews will remove the old road surface before putting down new asphalt for a stronger, lasting surface. Road markings and traffic loops get replaced if needed during the project.
The Streetpride highways team stated they know the work is disruptive but appreciate your understanding. They hope the improved road matters to residents.
The government gives £1.6 billion for road upkeep, dividing this amount between highway councils. The East Midlands gets nearly £76 million, shared between Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire, benefiting both city and county councils.
