Hump at Newark Castle level crossing to be smoothed out by Network Rail

The hump at Newark Castle level crossing is to be smoothed out.

Network Rail is going to complete the works from Friday to Monday.

The crossing will be closed to cars, bikes and pedestrians, and a signed diversion will be in place from 9pm on Friday through to 6.30am on Monday.

On Facebook, Newark Royal Market has urged shoppers to still head into town to support local businesses.

"Newark market traders and Newark retailers will still be here for you," wrote the market on social media.
