Detailed plans are being drawn up to improve a congested junction outside a Sainsbury's supermarket in Nottinghamshire. The government has allocated £2 million for the upgrades, and the funds have been officially transferred to Nottinghamshire County Council. Local businesses and residents have expressed their support for the project, which aims to alleviate congestion and improve traffic flow in the area.
Plans to improve a notorious junction outside a Sainsbury's supermarket in a Nottinghamshire town are moving closer as detailed plans are drawn up. It was announced earlier in the year that the Government was giving £2 million of levelling up funding for upgrades to be made to the junction on Nottingham Road, Mansfield. The route regularly becomes congested, particularly at weekends, and businesses in the area have described the junction as a "no-go" area at times.
Nottinghamshire County Council now says the £2 million has officially been transferred and that it has discussed the plans with affected landowners. Ben Bradley MP, Nottinghamshire County Council's leader, said: "An upgrade to the Sainsbury's junction is a priority and is something I know residents and businesses are very keen to see. I've been working to secure the funding for this for many years, so I'm delighted things are now moving to the next stage so we can make these planned junction improvements a reality.

A review found that many of the existing centres were not suitable due to poor layout and limited space. The proposed changes aim to create larger sites that do not cause traffic problems and do not need to be closed when waste containers are moved. These alterations would save £1.7m per year and enhance the service for residents. The council is yet to decide on the locations for the new sites.
