One woman said it was 'brilliant' to hear the council has scrapped the plans
Beeston residents have welcomed a U-turn on plans to ban cars from part of a street after only a quarter of people backed the idea in a survey. Nottinghamshire County Council had proposed banning cars from using Dovecote Lane as a through route at its junction with Middle Street, in a bid to encourage cycling and walking.
Janet Aitken, who lives at supported living accommodation on Dovecote Lane, said it was “brilliant” to hear the council has scrapped the plans. She said: “I’m glad they’ve scrapped it. Hannah Mcnab, a cyclist who lives in the area, added: “I don’t think it would’ve been an advantage to cyclists and I cycle along here. The centre of Beeston gets congested so it’s helpful to drive down Dovecote Lane. I also cut down here rather than go through Beeston on a bike.
