According to the website one.network contractors will be widening the road.

Residents took to social media to express their frustrations.

One person commented: “There are signs at Oxford Road roundabout announcing works commencing tomorrow and last until Autumn 2024.

“Any ideas what’s going on? What do the council have in store for us? A flyover?”

Another added: “Sounds ghastly. Pleased that I don't live there now. It's going to mean even more noise for those nearby. We need less cars, not more.”
