Cars racing along a dual carriageway in Barnsley are making so much noise
locals claim they can’t sleep at night.
Unofficial car meets are common at Cortonwood near the retail park, but
police have also been dealing with cars racing at 100mph along the nearby
Dearne Valley Parkway.
Councillor Denise Lelliot, who has lived in Brampton all her life, says the
noise is unbearable.
“You can’t have your windows open on a night, it’s terrible.
“You can’t go to bed early because the noise is horrendous as it comes
through with cars racing up and down.
“The young men and women turning up and showing their cars off isn’t an
issue, it’s when they start racing up and down and doing the doughnut.
“It’s so dangerous not just for the people driving the cars, but for other
road people travelling on that stretch of road.”
South Yorkshire Police recently wrote an open letter to the racers “begging”
them to stop racing before someone died.
