RESTRICTIONS which will prohibit motorists from clogging up roads in Kexborough have been approved by ruling cabinet members.

The plan will bring in a raft of measures on Ballfield Lane, Kexborough, and its side streets following complaints about inconsiderate parking.

As well as Ballfield Lane, Churchfield Lane, Uplands Avenue, Cooper Road and Priestley Avenue are also impacted.

However, the terms initially put forward – labelled as ‘excessive’ by councillors – have been relaxed to cover Monday to Friday from 8am while 9am, and 3pm while 5pm.

Coun Sharon Howard said: “There were some objections but the highways team met us in Kexborough and walked us where the TRO would be enforced.

“We’re pleased with the revisions and they now satisfy everyone.”
