RESIDENTS whose homes border a new multi-million pound road are ‘in the dark’ over plans to install noise insulation measures at their properties to address the knock-on impact of hundreds of daily vehicle movements.
Planning permission for the one-way gyratory - off Dodworth Road in Pogmoor - was granted in 2018 and had a planning condition which required Barnsley Council to identify all affected homes and decide what noise insulation measures should be offered before any construction works started.
However, Coun Peter Fielding told the Chronicle he is ‘increasingly concerned’ by the local authority’s alleged reluctance to inform the 56 residents what - and when - works will be carried out despite the road’s creation picking up pace.
