'Significant' delays because of Parkgate roadworks

Stagecoach tweeted just after 12.30pm today (Monday) that there were “significant” delays to its services.

The firm added: “We are diverting all Rawmarsh - Rotherham services via Barbot Hall Industrial Estate. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”

A caller to the Advertiser described being stuck trying to get away from Parkgate Shopping.

He said: “I could get in here fine at 1pm, but it’s been an hour-and-a-half to two hours and we’re not getting anywhere. There’s no traffic plan.”

Another driver wrote on Facebook that she had been sitting in traffic for almost an hour after taking a signed diversion going behind the retail centre.

She added: “Got all the way round and they’ve closed it off at the other end, but not changed the sign. Fuming.”
