Neighbourhood road safety schemes approved by Councillors

Roads

Work on 19 new Neighbourhood Road Safety schemes across Rotherham has been approved by the Council’s Cabinet.

A variety of safety measures were agreed at a meeting on 21st December, including interactive speed signs, parking measures and the installation of Billy and Belinda Bollards.
 
These will be the second set of projects funded by the Council’s £450,000 Neighbourhood Road Safety Scheme programme, a three year capital scheme to provide smaller scale road safety improvements in areas identified by the public.
 
The 19 projects being progressed are:
  • Anston and Woodsetts - Woodsetts Road, Lakeland Drive, Main Street, Penny Piece Lane, Crowgate, West Street and Sheffield Road - Portable Vehicle Activated Sign / Speed indicator sign for Crowgate

  • Wickersley - Fleming Way - School ahead warning signage in addition to measures introduced 
  • Wingfield - Roughwood Road (Between Wingfield Road & School) - Measures to address speeding 
Councillor Emma Hoddinott, Cabinet Member for Waste, Roads and Community Safety, said: “We set up this fund to respond to community concerns about road safety, that wouldn't be met by ever reducing funds from central government.  Often a simple, minor improvement can provide the solution – which our Neighbourhood Road Safety Schemes are intended to provide – and can make a huge difference to all road users.”
 
The projects were put forward for funding from the Neighbourhood Road Safety Scheme by councillors on behalf of their local communities during a six month consultation earlier this year. All were assessed against a criteria including environmental impact, regeneration, mode of travel (eg walking or cycling), social disadvantage, safety and maintaining infrastructure.
