I feel the current options are not fit for purpose. We need a bypass fit for the next 50-100 years. The current by-pass was outdated with a few years of being built and not the option originally wanted! The council spent some £80k on the concept and, I understand, picked the 3rd choice and cheapest option! A by-pass worthy and not just for the town but the surrounding area would be: From Newark side of East Stoke over to Kellam, then towards North Muskham meeting up with the A1. From there over the top towards Winthorpe, over the top of Coddington towards Fernwood to the A1 again. From here, under Balderton back towards the start at East Stoke. I would make the Existing A1/A17/A46 junction a dedicated business junction for the industrial estates on both sides of the A1. This bypass is not only for the NSDC users but also the wider users and for those as far afield as Grimsby, Hull, Kings Lynn, North & South of the A1 [London to Newcastle]. I would also then have a phase two to dual carriage the A17 all the way to Kings Lynn!
