A resident has warned Rotherham Council’s leader that there will be no independent businesses left in the town thanks to disruption caused by roadworks, and branded cash spent on new cycle lanes ‘useless’.

Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council installed a traffic light cycle crossing on Biscay Way in Wath-Upon Dearne in July last year. The new cycle route runs between Manvers Way and Wath town centre, and the council say it allows residents to access work in Manvers and Wath-upon-Dearne. Cash to fund he project was secured from the Department for Transport’s Transforming Cities Fund by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority.

She added: “With all the work that’s going on there with the bus stands at the moment, disruption, there’s going to be no independent businesses left there soon thanks to the council and all the work that’s dragging out…..and more useless money being spent on cycle ramps that could have been spent on so much more regeneration. “Perhaps the council needs to speak to the local people more. Nobody’s happy.
