Now resident Les Robertson has challenged the council and police to take action against those who ignore the no entry signs.

Mr Robertson, 54, of Garden Street, said: “It happens all throughout the day. Even taxi drivers are doing it.”

The changes to the road system were meant to stop people turning into Garden Street from Myrtle Road.

A council spokesman said: “There was concern about parents parking at the junction and also a history of complaints about people using Garden Street as a short-cut to North Road and, in doing, so putting [Ravensthorpe Junior] pupils at risk.”

Temporary signs were replaced with permanent signs last week.

Mr Robertson said: “They’ve spent all that money and they can’t enforce anything.”

The council said a follow-up survey was being done.
