'A predictable choice' apologises one voter, 'but this is the bete-noir of all Nottingham residents'. It certainly attracted some of the longest tirades from any voters! 'Dubbed the ugliest street in Europe since its construction in the 1960s, municipal engineers are doing their best to maintain its position at the top of the premier league' complains one local.

This inner ring road, 'a concrete monstrosity', which borders on to a conservation area has been 'rolled with red tarmac for hundreds of yards THIS YEAR' rails another. The conflict between old and new is a common complaint, with 'stainless steel bollards sitting next to Victorian ones with crests'.
