New £40m service station gets green light

Plans for a new motorway service station at the end of Sheffield Parkway at junction 33 of the M1 in Rotherham has been given the go-ahead

So the one at J35 has been bumped and now J33 is a better idea?

 

Is this for all the people that need a pee 5 minutes after stopping at Woodall 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The application will go before the council's planning committee on 21 November and is recommended for approval, subject to conditions, in an officer's report prepared for the meeting.

 

An objection has also been received from Extra MSA, which is planning its own service station at Junction 35.

This will be fun, already an over busy junction.

Agree - it needs its own slip roads and shouldn't be sharing the roundabout at the end of the Parkway with existing traffic to / from the M1 and / or Rotherham.

Having seen the queues on the Parkway approaching the junction  in the late afternoon, I wonder how long it will take people to get on to the roundabout from the service area. Unless they put in traffic lights, I can foresee traffic building up inside the area. Let's hope they don't have ANPR cameras - they'll make a fortune if people can't leave the site.
