Nottinghamshire County Council has approved the removal of a 'bus plug' from Burton Road, Gedling, after years of campaigning. The scheme, which created a 'no through road' for all traffic except buses, is being decommissioned due to the opening of Colliery Way, which has rendered it redundant. The removal is expected to ease congestion, improve air quality and allow for two-way traffic.
An "outdated" bus plug is being removed from a busy Gedling road after years of campaigning. Nottinghamshire County Council has approved a decision to remove the scheme from Burton Road, near its junction with Colliery Way.
Congestion and poor air quality from idling cars are among the issues cited as being caused by the scheme. Nottinghamshire County Council's decision, approved on February 3, means the traffic signals will be decommissioned and removed. The bus plug has been in place for years, having originally been introduced as part of historic improvements to the Colwick Loop Road. Councillor Mike Adams, Conservative county councillor for Carlton East, said: "For too long, local people have had to put up with unnecessary congestion, delays, and pollution caused by this outdated system.
