Transport group says major M1 junction is ‘full’

Midlands Connect's integrated transport programme lead, Swati Mittal said: "Junction 28 has struggled for many years with gridlock, and we are keen to get solutions moving to fix this.

"Drivers have been snarled up in traffic which impacts residents and businesses in and around Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and beyond.

"An intervention in this area is necessary to facilitate growth, jobs and allow us to deliver the growth aspirations of South Normanton, Pinxton and the wider region."

A Department of Transport spokesperson said: "We are committed to improving our road network to benefit all users and reduce congestion.

"National Highways is in the early stages of exploring solutions to improve safety and journey times on this junction."
