‘STAGGERING’’ numbers of people are visiting the new-look Barnsley town centre.
About 1.6 million shoppers have already visited the new Glass Works retail hub - with almost half a million over the Christmas period alone, the local authority revealed this week.
“We’re not complacent because we know there is a challenge,” Sir Steve Houghton told Wednesday’s ruling cabinet meeting.
“People are usually complimentary about the work that’s gone on in Barnsley.
“Some of our colleagues on this council think ‘bog standard’ will do for Barnsley but no, it won’t.”
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."
