Neighbours feel completely forgotten 😔

Villagers fear they are being forgotten about "out in the sticks" as the roads surrounding the village continue to deteriorate. Residents of Hawksworth and neighbouring villages of Thoroton and Scarrington have expressed concern over the state of the roads.

Retired Margaret Maddison Von Schomberg, 75, added: "We have lots of cyclists here and its terrible for them. The roads have always been bad here." John said: "Three times this year we have had the hall open for people to come around, and yesterday we had 50 ladies come down and they wanted to go for a walk around the village afterwards. It's full of history this place."

"In the last year the council have been good and have this new machine that one guy comes with and does the pot holes, but the pot holes just keep coming. All of these roads are old cart tracks and only about 60 to 70 years ago they were metaled." Councillor Neil Clarke MBE, Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment at Nottinghamshire County Council, said: “Winter conditions always take their toll on highways across Nottinghamshire, but I would like to reassure our residents that we are not alone as an authority in experiencing this. We’re open about the fact that we have seen an increase in the number of pothole reports in recent weeks, but we also want our residents to know that this isn’t unusual at this time of year.
