RESIDENTS have been urged to register to vote in the upcoming local elections.
It takes just five minutes to register to vote, according to the council, and once done residents are able to have their say on the issues that matter to them.
There are 63 councillors in Barnsley, three for each of the 21 wards - and the election is set to take place in May.
Go to gov.uk/register-to-vote to sign up.

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."
