A SERIES of car accidents in a short space of time near a high school have been attributed to driver error.
Police discussed Royston Lane, Carlton, near Outwood Academy, at a meeting on Tuesday having received concerns from the public about the road’s layout - something dismissed by highways bosses and the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.
Sgt Richard Wilson said: “There’s been a few accidents recently so we’ve been in touch with the relevant bodies as a result. Everyone’s happy with the road’s layout and I can confirm that resurfacing will be carried out with the aim of reducing incidents.”
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."
