ONE of Royston's biggest employers is considering pulling out of the village, threatening up to 126 jobs.
Owners of the Monckton Coking Plant, Hargreaves Services PLC, confirmed the plant is under review and is considering closure 'within this financial year'.
Spokesman Derek Christie told the Chronicle it was 'business as usual' during the review, but a statement from the firm this week said if the plant were to close during this financial year it would be 'significantly cash positive' for the firm. ** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated September 5. **
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."
