RMBC has asked for permission for 50 pay and display spaces at The Statutes in the town centre.

The courts were demolished after being closed by the Government in 2016 and sold to Rotherham Borough Council for £1 in spring last year.

The site is part of the wider Forge Island development. Work is set to begin next year and include a cinema, food and drinks outlets and a hotel.
