Temporary Overnight Road Closures – A52 Stragglethorpe to Saxondale, 19th – 22nd August

A temporary road closure will be in place on the A52 from Stragglethorpe to Saxondale Roundabout, from Tuesday, 19th July 2025 until Friday, 22nd August 2025. Maintenance work will include drainage improvements, inspection of safety barriers, road sweeping and vegetation clearance/grass cutting.

Work will be carried out overnight, between 8pm and 6am.

During this time, there will be escorted access for residents of Grantham Road and side roads. Main Street and Bingham Road will remain open allowing access to Carter Lane without escort.

A fully signed diversion route will be in place whilst work at this location is carried out using the A46 and Stragglethorpe Road.

Access for emergency vehicles will be maintained throughout.

Every effort will be made to ensure the impact on the local community and travelling public is kept to a minimum.

Local Government Re-Organisation – Survey now open

In December 2024, Central Government announced plans for the biggest reorganisation of local government in England in over 50 years which will change the structure and responsibilities of local councils.

In Nottinghamshire local services are currently delivered under what is known as a ‘two-tier’ council structure. LGR means we will move to a single tier system of unitary councils where just one council will deliver all the services you receive.

In Nottingham and Nottinghamshire there are nine existing local authorities. Under LGR, all nine would be abolished, to create new unitary councils with a higher population of residents.

It is being proposed that two new unitary councils should be created to replace the current nine.

Two core options are being proposed:

  • A new unitary authority combining Nottingham, Broxtowe, and Gedling, with a second new unitary authority for the rest of Nottinghamshire. This is known as option 1B.
  • A new unitary authority combining Nottingham, Broxtowe, and Rushcliffe, with a second new unitary authority for the rest of Nottinghamshire. This is known as option 1E.

Councils are now rolling out an engagement process with residents and stakeholders until Sunday September 14 to gather public feedback on what matters most to local people and organisations and help shape the new Unitary authorities’ priorities.

Please see the project’s website to complete the survey online. Paper surveys will also be available at the following locations across the Borough from Thursday 07 August:

    • East Leake Parish Council, 5 Main Street, East Leake, LE12 6PF
    • Rushcliffe Arena, Rugby Road, West Bridgford NG2 7YG
    • West Bridgford Library, Bridgford Road, West Bridgford, NG2 6AP
    • Grange Hall, Vicarage Lane, Radcliffe on Trent, NG12 2FB
    • Bingham Arena, Mercia Court, Chapel Lane, Bingham, NG13 8QX
  • Cotgrave Library, Cotgrave Hub, Rivermead, Cotgrave NG12 3UQ
  • Edwalton Golf Club, Wellin Lane, Edwalton, NG12 4AS
  • Keyworth Parish Council, Village Hall, Elm Avenue, NG12 5AN
  • Ruddington Parish Council, St Peter’s Rooms, Church St, Ruddington, NG11 6HD

Further in-person engagement sessions are also due to be announced.
