'with little' is the definition.
'narrow' can be an answer for 'little' (similar in meaning). I am not sure about the 'with' bit.

'sides new indicator of how to proceed' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'sides' could be 'rr' (an abbreviation for right written twice) and 'rr' is found in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT) and 'n' is found in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'aw' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'between' acts as a link.
