Cllr Alex Dale commented: “It’s taken quite a lot of discussions with Highways on behalf of local residents over the past few months but I’m really pleased they have listened and have come up with a solution. We’ll keep residents informed of any further details moving forward.”
Lee Rowley MP said: “Thanks to all residents who have been in touch with us to raise the noise issues. We’re very grateful to Derbyshire County Council for listening and working with us to find a solution.”
