Outcome: Recommendations Approved

Is Key Decision?: No

Is Callable In?: No

Purpose:

Content: The proposals to be advertised and any objections to be the subject of a report to Cabinet. If there are no objections the Head of Highways & Engineering and the Head of Legal Services be authorised to make and implement the Order.       Market Street in Goldthorpe is a Cul de sac street leading to Market Square and serves numerous residential properties and a few commercial businesses.   Parking is currently restricted (both waiting and loading restrictions) at various locations on Market Street and Market Square. The restrictions were introduced several years ago to control parking in the vicinity of Goldthorpe Market which was located on Market Street. However, in September 2021, a planning permission was granted for a new housing development at the former Goldthorpe Market. The construction of the housing development is now completed, and it is determined that the restrictions on Market Street and Market Square are no longer needed or deemed appropriate.   It is therefore proposed to revoke parts of the existing ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions on Market Street, a full length of the existing ‘no waiting Mon to Sat- 8.00am to 6.00pm’ restriction and a full length of ‘no loading/unloading 10.00am to 4.30pm On Any Day’ restrictions along Market Street and Market Square. A new length of ‘no waiting at any time’ restrictions will be introduced at the junction of Market Street and Doncaster Road.   The revocation of the restrictions will return the roads to their unrestricted state and increasing the availability of on-street parking for residents and visitors.   Local Ward Members, Ward Manager, Emergency Services, SYMCA, Parking Enforcement and Logistics/ Haulage companies were consulted on the 10th of September 2025 and no objections were received. For this reason, the proposed Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) has been deemed suitable to progress to the next stage of the TRO process and now subject to public consultation.   Details of the TRO will be advertised on the 31st of October 2025 in the local press (Barnsley Chronicle), made available at the Lightbox library, 1 The Glass Works in Barnsley and at Goldthorpe Library, Barnsley Road, Goldthorpe, Rotherham, S63 9NE. Notices will be posted on light columns on the streets concerned.    Residents, local businesses and other interested parties may submit their support or objection to the proposed TRO no later than 21st of November 2025.   The only alternative proposal to prevent carriageway/footway parking would be to install bollards, guardrails or restraining curbs. However, these options are not feasible as other road user such as pram pushers, wheelchair users, pedestrians and cyclists would be restricted and/or obstructed.  

Date of Decision: October 7, 2025
