Parking restrictions on residential streets for 'event' days in Elsecar
Street parking for visitors to Elsecar is to be suspended on five road when events are taking place at the Heritage Centre, in an effort to control congestion.
The tactics have been used previously and are being re-introduced now regeneration work at the centre - the old British Coal colliery workshops - are complete.
That means high profile events are being re-started, expected to bring in larger volumes of visitors.
As a result, the centre’s management - Barnsley Council’s museums service - will put five streets out of bounds to visitors.
Fitzwillam Street, Wath Road, Church Street, Wentworth Road and Cobcar Road will be affected by the temporary residents only parking arrangement.
Signs will direct visitors to designated parking areas and they will have traffic management in place to ensure that happens.
Overflow parking will be made available when needed on the greenway and gasworks field near the centre, and the nearby cricket club car park will also be available, though that attracts parking charges.
The first event takes place this weekend, when a makers’ market will take place.
A regular programme of events will then run through the rest of the year.
