Petition signed by more than 1,100 Barnsley residents calls for safety measures on busy dual carriageway...
The online petition has gained 663 signatures, and the door to door petition gained 452 signatures.
The petition calls on BMBC to implement an average speed camera, 40mph signs and pedestrian crossings on Doncaster Road, Ardsley. The road has been the site of numerous accidents, and residents have long been concerned about the speed of vehicles travelling on the stretch up Ardsley Hill. Mr Evans said: “The campaign is based upon issues that have existed for many years, which have escalated since the “burning out” subsequent and removal of the static speed camera.
“The excessive speeding of vehicles on the A635 dual carriage, Stairfoot and Ardsley and over the past several weeks resulting in accidents, some of which are life changing, placing a call on resources from Police, Fire Brigade and Ambulance services.“I think the the solution to this is really for them to consider the average speed cameras, like you’ve got at Hickleton through to the A1m.
