ROADWORKS TO RESUME

Roadworks which links motorists to the M1 and A52 are set to restart next month. Work which began in Bostocks Lane, Sandiacre, in June, last year, was halted after a fire under a bridge following a robbery in Breaston. This resulted in Derbyshire County Council reopening Bostocks Lane to help cope with the extra local traffic. Highways chiefs have confirmed work will restart in early June, and will take around 10 weeks and will see an extra lane installed on Bostocks Lane to help traffic get onto the roundabout for the M1 (junction 25) and A52 more quickly. Bostocks Lane will be closed northbound from the Sandiacre highways depot to the Sandiacre Interchange roundabout while work is under way.

CHIP SHOP TO CLOSE

A Stapleford chip shop has been put on the market after the owner said he can no longer afford to run the business. The present owner of Starfish Traditional Fish & Chips on Hickings Lane said he does not want to sell but energy costs, cost of the food, business rates and other bills have meant they simply can't afford to run it anymore. Former Broxtowe mayor councillor Richard MacRae who has been a regular customer said, “I officially opened the chip shop in February 2015 and have been a regular customer ever since. It is a sad loss for the area.”

ORDER KNIVES ONLINE AND FACE PROSECUTION

Police are warning people they will beprosecuted for importing knives into the country. Six parcels bound for homes in Derbyshire have been intercepted in the last month. They contained flick knives ordered from various countries and were intercepted by customs staff before being delivered. An investigation has been launched and the people who ordered the knives are being traced. Another package was found to contain cocaine. PC Ryan Gill said: “We want people to know that ordering knives is an offence. The package will be discovered, the police will be alerted and we will trace and prosecute you.”
