SUPPOSED danger roads in the running for a share of a £90,000 pot for safety measures were named at yesterday’s full council meeting.
Councillors’ requests include two pedestrian crossings on Wakefield Road in the St Helen’s ward and New Lodge, and one crossing improvement on Sheffield Road in Penistone.
Coun Chris Lamb, cabinet spokesperson for environment and transportation, replied: “These plans will be overseen, scored and ranked by experienced, qualified officers - not by politicians.”

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
