PENSIONERS have agreed to continue fighting for free rail travel, saying the offer of 'half price' is not good enough.
Transport chiefs are due to vote on Monday on a deal revealed in the Chronicle last week which will give the disabled back their free travel and allow the elderly to pay half fare.
But campaigners say it is not good enough and are holding a demonstration in town tomorrow (Friday), meeting on Eastgate at 11am, and a lobby outside the meeting of the transport authority, on Regent Street, from 1pm on Monday.
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated May 16. **
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."
