Devil's Bend Road: Money and Mayhem | Nottingham News

Devil’s Bend in Nottinghamshire is a historic road plagued by crumbling sandstone walls, costing the council over $250,000 in repairs since 2020—most recently $22,000 in January 2025. Built for a quieter era, the narrow route can’t handle modern traffic, and heavy rain keeps destabilizing the ground. Contractors reinforced foundations and removed obstructive trees, with officials optimistic the fix will last 10–15 years—but admit future repairs are inevitable. While studies were done, costs are buried in general budgets. It’s a classic clash: preserving history while battling the relentless pressure of today’s demands.
