Neighbours in Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, are frustrated by the extension of roadworks on Flawforth Lane for another two months. The closure and lengthy diversions have caused significant disruption to residents' lives, leading to feelings of anxiety and isolation.
Residents living in part of a Nottinghamshire village say they feel as though they are trapped in their homes after long-running roadworks were extended for another two months. Neighbours living in and off Flawforth Lane, in Ruddington , are frustrated at the closure of the road while improvements are carried out on the junction with the A60.
"It's had a big affect on me. It's made me feel really anxious," said the 47-year-old charity worker. "My son has been sick and struggles to walk to school and Beavers. "It's been 15 months of roadworks. We think 'when will this end?'. It changes your whole life. I feel like we're not part of the village, we may as well join Edwalton as far as I'm concerned."
"I have to ring up to explain, people don't realise there's another way in. We've put up with it for so long. I've lived here for 35 years and I've never experienced anything like this." "I'm surprised they don't have a disco on Saturday nights," she added. "The workers are so polite, it's not their fault, it's the council.
