Visitors to Rotherham will have an additional 40 temporary parking
spaces to use in the town centre from Monday (8 October).
Following the demolition of the former Rotherham Magistrates Court, land
at the Statutes, off Main Street, is now available for use as a car
park.
Motorists can park for the following prices:
* 2 hours – £1
* 4 hours – £2
* All day – £3
Those who prefer to use a cashless option can pay using the RingGo App
using the code 18472.
Blue badge holders can park free of charge in the designated disabled
spaces.
These new spaces are in addition to those at nearby Forge Island, where
motorists can enjoy two hours free parking on weekdays and free parking
all day at the weekends in the “red zone”.
Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Jobs and the Local Economy, Cllr
Denise Lelliott said: “These extra car parking spaces at the Statutes
will give additional capacity to visitors to the town centre.
“We now have a wide range of parking options available across the town
centre, including free parking at both Forge Island and Drummond Street
car parks, which we hope will give a boost to our town centre businesses
in the run up to the Christmas period.
“With a number of events coming up this autumn, including the
International Market, the Rotherhowl Halloween town centre trail and
Remembrance Sunday, I hope the additional parking capacity proves useful
to shoppers and visitors.”
Motorists wanting to access the new parking facilities can find the car
park by turning left just after Main Street Police Station (from
Centenary Way) or right before the police station if coming from
Westgate.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: October 30, 2018 02:42:20 PM Over 80 stalls set to be occupied in The Glass Works for first day of trading Over 80 stalls are set to be occupied in the new Barnsley Market Hall ahead of its opening on Friday 2 November. Traders are busy preparing for the move into The Glass Works following the hugely successful move of meat and fish traders into the Barnsley Market Food Hall at the start of September. And today, Barnsley Council is delighted to announce that almost all of the stalls in the market will be occupied on the first day of trading with the remainder opening over the next few months. Fifty-three stalls will set up on the ground floor of the market on opening day with others moving in before the end of the year. Upstairs, 32 of the 40 units will be occupied. The remaining eight are set to be let before the end of the year. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – a momentous occasion in the market’s rich history – will take place on May Day Green on Friday 2 November with an official opening a day later on Saturday 3 November. The first exciting details about the occasion can now be revealed. The Mayor of Barnsley, Councillor Steve Green, will ring the traditional market bell after a speech from Leader of Barnsley Council, Sir Steve Houghton. We’ll be celebrating the history of Barnsley Market with your market memories – while there will also be family entertainment, promotions, competitions and special guest appearances. The move of market traders into the new Market Hall represents a huge milestone in The Glass Works project. Traders from Market Parade will leave their temporary home underneath the multi-storey car park after trading on Saturday 20 October. May Day Green Market will remain open until Saturday 27 October. They will move into the new Market Hall – a bright, modern and spacious market setting more akin to a department store. The new market will also feature extended opening hours and Thursday openings. Meanwhile, market cafes are preparing to move into Market Kitchen later in the month with more details on the move and flagship food court to be announced soon. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “The opening of Barnsley Market Hall will be a fantastic occasion. We’re extremely excited to welcome the traders into The Glass Works and right back into the heart of Barnsley town centre. “The redevelopment of our town centre is built around our famous market. Barnsley has had a market since 1249; it’s what we’re famous for and that’s why the new market is at the centre of The Glass Works. People from far and wide will want to visit the famous Barnsley Market and celebrate what’s sure to be a fantastic next chapter in its rich history. “I want to urge local people to come out and support our brilliant market traders in the Market Hall and Food Hall, both for the opening and moving forward into the future.” Following the market’s move into The Glass Works, the temporary building on May Day Green will be dismantled and sold on, while Market Parade will come down with the multi-storey car park in January. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – together with the Food Hall – is part of the multi-million pound redevelopment of Barnsley town centre, which includes The Glass Works, markets, public realm, Library @ The Lightbox and Market Gate Bridge.
