All the roads set to be repaired and resurfaced in Barnsley this year

Senior highways officers have proposed improvements to carriageways and footways at more than 50 locations across the borough.

A further £700,000 of road safety funding from the Department of Transport, which was granted to the council in 2019, will be rolled forward into this year.

A report by highways officers states that he cash was unspent “due to the Covid-19 pandemic creating delays arising from land acquisition and subsequent resource issues”.

The funding will be used for road safety measures along the A628, including the improvement of pedestrian crossing facilities, introduction of road safetybarriers, traffic calming measures and improved street lighting.

A further £2m has been set aside for a new roundabout that is currently under construction on the A635 near Goldthorpe, to create access for new offices, warehouses, and industrial units.
