A yellow box junction is to be reinstated at the entrance to Shelford Road from High Street next to the One Stop Shop in Sandyford.
Approximately 10 years ago, when the High Street was resurfaced, the box junction was never put back, which was there to keep the entrance/exit to Shelford Road more free-flowing to traffic, especially at busy times of the day.
Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association contacted Council Highways with support from Councillor Chandra Kanneganti to reinstate the yellow box junction, whilst the contractor is replacing road markings as well as repairs to the High Street this week.
Our personal thanks go to Council Highways for agreeing to our request, especially with it being last-minute, as well as their understanding to try and improve the flow of traffic, even if it is in a small way.
Tonight Monday 17th November the High Street will be closed to traffic in sections from Sandyford’s KFC roundabout to Goldenhill’s Woodstock Street/Kidsgrove Road between 8.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.
The contractor maintaining the road has advised that work will be taking place at the top of Goldenhill and a possibility of further work taking place around Sandyford McDonald’s.
The contractor has also said there will be staff managing the road network and can be approached to ask for further information in regards to part road closures, as well as access arrangements to properties and estates.
The roadwork maintenance is expected to last until Friday 21st November, although we have been advised that due to the weather expecting to turn much colder this could delay the tarmac laying, and further extend the work programme.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association understand the frustration of residents and motorists using the busy A50 when road repairs take place, but we trust in the longer period that having important road repairs actioned benefits all concerned.
REMINDER that roadworks planned to close down the High Street From Tunstall to Goldenhill will commence from tomorrow Monday 17th November for a 5 day period.
17th, 18th & 19th November, High Street will be closed to traffic from Sandyford’s KFC roundabout to Goldenhill’s Woodstock Street/Kidsgrove Road between 8.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.
20th & 21st November, High Street will be closed to traffic from The Haymarket to Sandyford’s KFC roundabout between 8.00 p.m. and 6.00 a.m.
The reason for extensive roadworks is to patch and repair potholes, as well as iron works which involve drains and manholes. The work also includes replacing road markings throughout the road network as well.
The contractor advised that access to properties and estates will continue whilst the work is being carried out, although delays are possible and alternative routes will be made available during the work period.
The contractor realises the closing of a major road network will inconvenience many drivers who use the A50, but said it will do its best to keep disruption to a minimum.
Councillor Chandra Kanneganti and Sandyford & Goldenhill Residents Association believe once the road works are completed that it will make driving through our area a better experience for all concerned.
Storm Claudia has caused a chimney collapse in Ridge Road, Sandyford. Staffordshire Fire & Rescue closed off the road for a short while whilst having to make the area safe.
Residents and motorists are reminded to take care when driving or walking down the road, as well as other areas of Sandyford, Goldenhill and the rest of the city due to strong winds, which are likely to carry on until tomorrow.
Last year, 32 people died after a road collision in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, which is why the Staffordshire Safer Roads Partnership (SSRP) is supporting Brake’s Road Safety Week campaign to highlight ways we can ensure our vehicles are safe, whoever we are and wherever we travel.
The SSRP aims to reduce road collisions through joint work by partners including Staffordshire Commissioner’s Office, Staffordshire Police, Staffordshire Fire & Rescue Service, Stoke-on-Trent City Council, Staffordshire County Council and National Highways.
Deputy Staffordshire Commissioner for Police, Fire & Rescue and Crime Dave Evans co-chairs the SSRP, alongside Staffordshire Commissioner Ben Adams. He said: “Safe vehicles save lives. They are designed to help prevent road crashes, and protect people if a crash does happen.
“Seatbelts and airbags protect people inside the vehicle. Automated driver assistance helps vehicles to stay in their lane and within speed limits. Some newer cars have technology which detects unsafe driving behaviour, for example, due to tiredness.
“There are also things we can all do as drivers to ensure our vehicles are safe. This includes carrying out regular vehicle checks on tyre condition, including pressure and treads, windscreen wipers and washer fluid, and lights.”

Four men have been arrested after heroin, cocaine, cash and a mobile phone were seized during drugs raids in Stoke-on-Trent.
As part of an ongoing operation to target county lines drug supply in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, officers from our major and organised crime proactive team executed three warrants at three addresses in Tunstall on Tuesday (4 November).
As a result, three men have been arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.
They are a 22-year-old, a 37-year-old and a 32-year-old, all from Stoke-on-Trent.
All three men have been released on bail while our enquiries continue.
Following further proactive investigations by the team, a 24-year-old man, also from Stoke-on-Trent, was also arrested on suspicion of being concerned in the supply of class A drugs on the same day.
He has also been released on bail.
Tuesday’s operation uncovered a mobile phone, an estimated £500-worth of class A drugs and £5,000 in cash.
The activity follows our ongoing commitment to proactively target serious and organised crime across Staffordshire.
We launched Operation Target in May 2023 and have been working to disrupt and pursue criminals who plan, organise and commit serious criminal offences across the county, including drug supply, illegal firearms, knife crime, human trafficking and sexual exploitation.
Police Officers are warning people to be vigilant after receiving reports of a scam which claims to make the victim’s £1,000 a week from a £200 investment.
It comes as high street banks have reported instances of individuals coming in branches to withdraw cash to give to fraudsters.
Recently, an elderly man was looking to withdraw £200 from his Stoke-on-Trent bank, leaving him with just £4 in his account, after believing an online scam which appeared to be endorsed by the Prime Minister.
Thankfully, the bank alerted us to what had happened and we were able to speak to the victim and arrange further checks on his account, with help from the bank, so as to protect the victim from any further issues.
Simon Street, our fraud protect and prepare coordinator, said: “This type of scam is highly common and plays on people’s vulnerabilities.
“Anyone who is running low on cash wants to be able to garner more funds, and that’s what the fraudsters bank on.
“If it sounds too good to be true, it more than likely is.”
We are continuing to feature stories of fraud and financial crime as part of our ongoing campaign. To find our more, visit: Truth or Trap | Staffordshire Police.
