15 May – Modernised signals
Traffic signals equipment has been upgraded along the A631 saving £11,500 in energy costs and 9,500kg of carbon per year. Drone footage shows the pedestrian crossing on Bawtry Road just off Wickersley Roundabout, now future-ready for the next generation of drivers.
12 May - Students present school street improvements
Clifton Community School’s eight-month project to redesign its school street has concluded with a presentation to Councillor Robert Taylor, Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs and the Local Economy. Working with the Transport team, students attended design workshops and conducted streets analysis before submitting their ideas. Alexander Mosley, Associate Assistant Headteacher, said:
“'Rotherham council have been fantastic in giving Clifton students the opportunity to engage and have their voices heard on the redevelopment of Middle Lane. The well-being and safety of students is at the heart of what we do as a school, and the redesign of Middle Road will contribute significantly to improving traffic and safety on journeys to and from school."
