I’M totally disgusted at the soon to be new road layout on Mary Street, with no right turn into The Mount.

This is going to cause a lot of problems for residents and parents of pupils at St George’s school, as they are going to have to drive along Billet Street, Hurdleway, Silver Street around Sainsbury’s garage onto Mansfield Road, just to turn into The Mount.

Surely this is a clear case of ‘if it isn’t broken don’t fix it’.

Not to mention the increase in pollution of the around the block journey, which will have an effect on traffic on South Road, East Reach and East Street.

My business has been on Mary Street for 93 years, and I feel that a change in the road layout like this is going to add to the strain on mine and other local businesses that are already struggling to survive at a difficult time.
