SIX Labour councillors - including one cabinet member - will not be standing for re-election in May.
Harry Spence of the Darton East ward, Margaret Bruff of Central, May Noble of Dearne South and Tim Cheetham who represents Royston, have all served on the council since 2006.
Annette Gollick of Dearne North has served the council since 2015, whilst Dorothy Higginbottom has been a councillor since 2004.
Councillors will pay tribute to them at the full council meeting on Thursday.
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."
