A COUNCIL scheme has been launched to help Barnsley people living in cold, damp houses, or those suffering from fuel poverty.
The joint scheme between the council's development, environment and culture and public health departments, will see Barnsley's vulnerable households receiving assistance in getting a new boiler.
Some 8,000 properties are eligible, both owner-occupied and private rented.
Residents are being sent letters notifying them of the scheme.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle, 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."
