A PLAQUE celebrating Barnsley’s twin town Schwabisch-Gmund is to be given pride of place in the town centre after plans were approved by the council’s planning board.
The plaque, which celebrates the twinning agreement signed in 1971, will be placed in the Library @ the Lightbox.
An application was originally submitted in November before it was given the go-ahead this week.
This year, members of Barnsley-Schwabisch Gmund Twin Town Society are marking 50 years of the official twinning agreement - albeit delayed for a year due to Covid.
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."
