Elsecar Station access scheme

Project overview

Barnsley Council are proposing works to develop and improve pedestrian and cycling infrastructure to Elsecar Rail Station. The project is part of the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) Transforming Cities Fund (TCF).

The scheme will consist of a number of interventions including:

widening of existing footways where practical
improved crossing facilities for the visually impaired
raised kerbs at bus stops to improve access
a new surfaced footpath through parkland to separate pedestrians and cyclists from vehicular traffic

The purpose of the proposal is to make it as easy as possible to walk and cycle to the station and remove the need to drive.

The table below shows the proposed key milestones that we're currently working towards.

Activity	Date
Full business case submission	June 2022
Construction start	January 2023
Construction end	March 2023

Details of the proposed changes are shown in Elsecar Station access improvement maps.
