Fencing to curb residents' biker misery

RESIDENTS have been given a reprieve from troublesome off-road bikers after new fencing was erected.

The area at the end of Scarborough Road, Wickersley, is often busy with parents taking youngsters to school.

Cllr Martyn Parker made the arrangements for the new fencing to be added after speaking to borough council officers.

The Conservative member for Wickersley said: “Residents informed me that they had contacted councillors several times about this over more than four years.

“They said they were told earlier this year that there was no money available, blaming Government cuts.

“I contacted the relevant departments and found there was money available and by insisting they compared prices with different contractors they informed me that a quote had been given that would allow the job to take place.”
