A long-awaited crossing between the car park and The Canch on Priorswell Road in Worksop now has a date for completion.

Plans have been drawn up for Nottinghamshire County Council for a signalised puffin crossing, and there is now a public consultation open until July 10.

Written comments or objections to the scheme can be made by email to [email protected], quoting ref: Priorswell Road.

Cllr Russell Dodd for Worksop East instigated a petition for the crossing and has thanked everyone via social media for helping to get the issue resolved.

Worksop will have to wait a few months before the crossing is in operation however, as a build date of January 27 next year has been confirmed.
