RESIDENTS say they are concerned about an increase in traffic to a busy Wombwell road because it forms the only access to a new 220 home development.
Work has already begun on the Persimmons Homes development and once complete, all vehicles coming and going from the estate will use a single access onto Barnsley Road.
Residents worry it will bring increased congestion, and question why access could not have been provided from the Mitchell's Way bypass or either of the two adjacent roundabouts.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated April 24. **
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."
