The part of Lower Kirklington Road which leads to the hamlet of Maythorne is incredibly dangerous. This route is well used by pedestrians making their way to and from Southwell as well as by walkers on one of the local Heritage Trails. Traffic is very fast along this stretch and the road is narrow, leaving little safe space for pedestrians to walk.

Southwell Town Council has energetically supported Maythorne residents in their bid to get a footpath along this stretch of road. After nearly three years of effort we have finally heard that work will begin on a footpath in the New Year.

Excellent news!
