DEMOLITION work is set to begin at Barnsley Hospital next week.
Contractors will be working on the canopy which was over the old ambulance entrance to allow for an extension of the children’s assessment unit in the coming months.
The demolition will take between three and seven days and is set to be completed by March 3.
A spokesperson for the hospital said: “It will be very noisy and will create dust and significant vibration throughout the front of the hospital.
“We would like to apologise for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause.”
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."
