Not everybody is convinced
Neighbours remain divided after National Highways upgraded their plans for a new dual carriageway. Residents in Winthorpe, near Newark, still have concerns over what the planned A46 Newark bypass could mean for their village, which is already a short distance from the busy road.
A new single-lane carriageway has been proposed between the Friendly Farmer and Winthorpe roundabouts, and Winthorpe junction will also be enlarged with traffic lights connected to the new A46 link. The plans also include a short section of new dual carriageway over the A1, including slip roads to Brownhills roundabout and a new bridge to the north of the existing A46 bridge over the A1.
"They use Winthorpe Road in Newark as a race track as it is and we don't want them coming through the village. It's a nice village, it's nice and quiet and we get a lot of noise as it is."
