ARBA this week confirmed that it has now submitted a detailed planning application for a new roundabout on the road - with the aim of starting the work by the end of this year.

Richard Burns, one of three directors at ARBA, said: "This is one of the most prominent sites on the M1 corridor and is the final piece of the development jigsaw in Barlborough.

"We are currently at the detailed design stage of the whole project and in order to unlock the site we need to carry out a lot of infrastructure and access work."

Fellow ARBA director, Andrew Allen, added: "By doing this, we can then bring forward the work on the commercial business park, which will bring more jobs to the area.

"This is a really exciting project for ARBA in a strategically important location for logistics and distribution," he added.
