A BARNSLEY-THEMED van has made its way onto the town’s streets as a refinishing company aim to raise spirits across the borough.
Ross Walsh, 26, works at Elite Refinishing in Mapplewell, the home to the Kes-inspired van - though this isn’t the only van the firm have refurbished this year.
He said: “I thought it would be a good idea to go with a Barnsley theme which is why we ended up choosing Kes - it was painted on the van and it’s received quite a lot of attention ever since.
“We painted it on the van and it was the first time that we’ve done anything like that - we’ve got vans that we’ve painted in different ways but nothing like this.
“It’s received the most recognition out of everything as well, some of the comments we’ve received on our social media pages are absolutely brilliant.”
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."
