MORE than 1,000 people have signed a petition calling for a popular Barnsley pub to be saved from demolition.
Plans to close and then flatten the Kings Head in Darton Lane, Mapplewell, and replace it with a Sainsbury's store will go before the council's planning committee on Tuesday.
The pub's owners Punch Partnership have made the application. And the company says it plans to close the pub even if the application to redevelop the site is rejected.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated July 11. **
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."
