Major gas works are set to cause two weeks of misery for motorists and bus passengers, with closures on a Netherfield town centre route.
Contractors Network Plus will work on behalf of Cadent Gas to carry out gas replacement works that will require the closure of Victoria Road.
The works are scheduled to take place between Monday, October 23 and Sunday, November 5th.
Works were scheduled to take place back in September but plans were abandoned.
During the latest works, 44 and 44A buses will be diverted and not serve the town they will divert via Burton Road, Colwick Loop Road and Private Road No. 1 in both directions.
A spokesman for NCT said: “Stops sited on Manor Road, Station Road, Victoria Road, Meadow Road and Chaworth Road cannot be served.”
Residents took to social media to voice their disapproval at the delays
Angie Mar wrote: “It’s the businesses I really feel sorry for as times are tough enough, people from outside Netherfield will start going elsewhere.”
Molly Reilly posted: “I swear Netherfield is just a constant building site.”
The gas main needs updating but it will cause a lot of disruption. It’s a shame that other services won’t be coordinated so everything could be done over the same time period, then the whole road resurfaced. Unfortunately, all the roadworks seem to happen over different time periods.
