MP for Rother Valley Jake Richards, as well as former MP Alexander Stafford, have both campaigned for new traffic measures at the hotspot.
However, highways bosses at RMBC said in May that although they understood the community’s concerns, the authority ‘does not have plans in place to make changes to the junction,’ due to ‘limited funding and resources’.
An Aughton resident told The Star today: “This junction is a death trap.
“You take your life into your own hands every time you use it especially during rush hour.

“I’ve been driving for over 30 years and I absolutely dread having to use this junction.
“Queues quickly build up if you are travelling from Treeton and want to turn right or go straight over so you feel under pressure.
“Waiting for someone to die before the junction is changed is going to be too late. We need action now.
“The former MP launched a petition for changes but nothing ever happened. Is Sarah Champion going to fight for Rotherham Council to put their hands in their pockets and put lives before money?”
