Editing Staveley, Derbyshire (section)

=== Proposed Bypass ===
A road bypass of Staveley and Brimington has been proposed since 1927.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lee4ned.com/campaigns/tackling-congestion-and-improving-roads|title=Tackling congestion and improving roads|website=Lee Rowley|language=en|access-date=2019-07-29}}</ref> When the [[A61 road|A61]] Rother Way (also known as the Chesterfield Bypass) was constructed in the 1980s, a short dual carriageway spur was constructed over the River Rother and the Canal, terminating at a large roundabout which has an access road to a supermarket and the single carriageway [[A619 (road)|A619]] continuing to Brimington. The dual carriageway was planned to continue, heading northwards through Wheeldon Mill Greyhound Stadium (since demolished) before crossing the Canal twice and following the course of the Rother through Staveley Works. There would have likely been a grade separated junction between Mill Green and Hall Lane to serve the town and the nearby village of Barrow Hill. Then the dual carriageway would have curved eastward and run north of [[Mastin Moor]], connecting to Junction 30 of the [[M1 motorway|M1]] at [[Barlborough]]. The plans caused controversy as the crossing of the Canal would have divided it into five linear ponds, and a petition put a halt to the bypass plans, but not before digging of a cutting had commenced.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@53.2653301,-1.4075704,251m/data=!3m1!1e3|title=Google Maps|website=Google Maps|language=en|access-date=2019-07-29}}</ref>

In 2009, the [[A6192 road|A6192]] Ireland Close was built, connecting a small roundabout on Hall Lane to several more roundabouts near Poolsbrook, then to Junction 29A.

As part of regeneration proposals for Staveley Works, there is a 'spine road' proposed to run from the superstore roundabout off Rother Way to Hall Lane. However it is planned to be low speed single carriageway with several roundabouts or signal controlled junctions, which may create even more congestion.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/site-elements/documents/pdf/transport-roads/transport-plans/transport-funding-bids/staveley-regeneration-route-phase-one-bid.pdf|title=Staveley Regeneration Route|date=29 July 2019|access-date=29 July 2019}}</ref>

In July 2019, the MP for [[North East Derbyshire (UK Parliament constituency)|North East Derbyshire]], [[Lee Rowley]], gained support for a proper Staveley Bypass from the government.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Norcliffe|first=Liam|url=https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/news/people/north-east-derbyshire-mp-gains-support-for-staveley-bypass-project-1-9899034|title=North East Derbyshire MP gains support for Staveley bypass project|work=Derbyshire Times|date=25 July 2019|access-date=29 July 2019}}</ref>
