 Above: Motorists may face 3 month delays. Bus routes are being diverted and pedestrians have already reported additional problems in crossing. But the changes are badly needed! | Just weeks after the completion of the infamously slow paced work around Sneinton Market, roadworks have started on the Manvers Street/Pennyfoot Street junction. This is a critical junction for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians from a large part of Sneinton wishing to connected to the Lace Market, City Centre and rail station areas. However, for cyclists and pedestrians the junction has long been a notoriously hair-raising experience to cross... there have been NO pedestrian crossing facilities at all. Now at last pedestrian crossing signals are being installed. There will be the inconvenience of 3 months disruption, but let's hope (this time) that the new design is a noticeable improvement. Surely it could not be worse than what we've had until now? |
