ALMOST £30,000 will be spent making repairs and improvements to Littleworth Lane play area at Lundwood.
The works, carried out by Barnsley Council, will be paid for using £28,450 that was set aside by a developer of a site on Pontefract Road at Lundwood, which later went in to administration.
The play equipment will be refurbished, fencing repaired and better security lighting will be fitted.
Fields next to the play area form part of the Dearne Valley park and the Trans Pennine Trail also intersects it so part of the money will be used to extend existing bollards on site to prevent vehicle access.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
