Traffic congestion and parking problems within the village
Further to my previous articles on traffic problems, I can now confirm that South Yorkshire Police are taking appropriate enforcement action against unlawfully parked vehicles causing congestion etc.
Fly tipping
Fly tipping continues to be an increasing problem within the parish. BMBC confirms that enforcement action will be taken against offenders.
Overhanging trees and bushes
As regularly mentioned in these notes, overhanging trees and bushes continue to cause pedestrians difficulties when walking along pavements throughout the parish. Residents are again requested to cut back any overhanging foliage from trees and bushes.
