"Lorries and cars travel way too quickly along that stretch of road.

"We’ve been wanting the proposed linl road to be completed for a few years but it’s not happened. It is meant to be coming off the roundabout and connecting to the back end of the industrial estate, avoiding the need to go through the residential area, but it has not gone ahead yet.”

We have contacted South Yorkshire Police for further details.
