Residents in Carlton have spoken of their fears and frustrations after another accident took place in their road earlier tonight (14).
People living in Prospect Road say they have suffered a stream of incidents over the past few months with vehicles regularly coming off the road and crashing into buildings, fencing and other objects.
Maxine Payne is one of the residents calling on the authorities to take action.
She told Gedling Eye: “It’s a nightmare. People speed up this road and there are accidents all the time. Someone is going to get killed. What If someone had been walking around that corner tonight?
“I’m really fed up with it. All the residents are around here are. Every month there is an accident.”
She added: “We tried to get something done years ago and some additional signs were put up but it’s not enough.
MP Vernon Coaker told Gedling Eye he’d contacted Nottinghamshire County Council to see what could be done.
He said: “I know this junction and how difficult it can be to see clearly because of parked vehicles, and the speed of traffic down Prospect Road means it is particularly dangerous.
“I have asked the County Council, who are responsible for traffic calming measures, to take another look at the junction and the accident record for the area to see what can be done.”
