Frustration in town 'where during rush hour nothing moves'

After it was announced Netherfield is set to benefit from funding for things such as additional CCTV cameras and improved lighting to make streets in the area safer, people have said they'd rather see money spent on improving roads. Colwick and Netherfield will get a combined £750,000 of funding from government's safer streets fund.

"I think the money is needed in the area for improving roads. There are too many zebra crossings, roundabouts, junctions and the train crossing all within such a short space of each other, it's ridiculous. It's gridlock around here during rush hour, nothing moves. Train barriers could go up and down more quickly too to ease things, it is quite stressful if you're a motorist around here.

One woman said she would like to see more funding go towards making streets feel more safe in Arnold town centre. Kelly Rogers, 41, who lives in the Arnold area, said: "I feel like Front Street could do with something, it feels OK there during the day but not so much at night. I can imagine people feel a bit intimidated.
