A section of Colwick Loop Road is to be resurfaced after a local councillor secured funding for repairs.
Following strong lobbying from Cllr Mike Adams, who represents Carlton East on Nottinghamshire County Council, the A612 Colwick Loop Road between Sainsbury’s and Morrisons has been added to the capital programme for full resurfacing.
The government recently gave Nottinghamshire County Council an extra £3.3 million to fund road repairs.
Cllr Adams welcomed the news.
He said: “The A612 Colwick Loop Road is a vital route for residents, commuters, and businesses, but its surface has deteriorated over time.
“I’m pleased that my lobbying has helped secure this investment, and I know road users will appreciate the improvements. I’ll keep working to ensure our local roads remain a priority.”
Cllr Sam Smith, Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “I’m pleased to confirm that an extra £3.3 million is being allocated to resurfacing key roads across the county, including the A612 Colwick Loop Road at Sainsbury’s Bridge. This investment will ensure proper, lasting repairs, rather than just patching up potholes. There’s more to come too, as I will announce additional resurfacing projects at the March Full Council meeting.”
The resurfacing works will be included in the council’s capital programme for the 2025/26 financial year, which will be officially signed off in March by the Cabinet Member for Transport and the Environment.
Further updates on additional road improvements will be announced at the Full Council meeting in March.
