A6 main road is open but the traffic chaos continues.
The A6 may be open through Duffield but the temporary traffic lights do not help the
local shopkeepers with passing trade. The traffic lights at the junction of Town street
and Wirksworth road cause long tail-backs of traffic along the A6 in both directions
and along Wirksworth road making it near impossible for vehicles to park safely along
Town street. The Derbyshire Council Highways Department say they have given
priority to a review of the situation in Duffield.

consulting rooms. To celebrate all these events the Practice is holding a Open day on Wednesday September 8th
