Local residents say motorists drive too fast
To those passing through, Bracmote appears to be a quaint location, lined with picturesque cottages, spacious homes, and a vibrant community. But the idyllic village is also home to a stretch of Nottinghamshire road that locals have described as "dangerous" and where they say accidents seem to happen "every week".
Now locals have shared what life is like close to the street, where a vehicle was flipped onto its roof in a collision at the turn in the morning of May 11. Stephen Cartwright, a supervisor at the White Lion pub in Town Street, said: "It's [accidents are] all the time. It's known for accidents here and it's not a surprise when you hear about it.
"People drive far too fast on this road and there's a young nursery, so people walking down with kids too. I think the council needs to get involved with putting in some kind of camera. Those living on the road also note that lorries of the seven-and-a-half-tonne weight limit often attempt to travel down the street, only to arrive at Devil's Bend and realise the turn is too tight to navigate, forcing them to reverse back out.
"It was bliss, it was so peaceful," added Mr Dykes. Tracey Roe, 59, added: "I've been here eight years and it's a lot busier than it used to be.
