A KIDS’ play area - which closed and was then relocated as a result of a controversial new road system - was officially opened on Thursday.
Deputy Mayor of Barnsley Mick Stowe was on hand at Penny Pie Park, Pogmoor, to welcome the new facility’s first guests from nearby Summer Lane Primary School.
In addition to the playground and multi-use games area, a gated entrance, new signage, noticeboards and new railings have all been installed.
Coun Stowe said: “I was delighted to be able to officially open the much-improved Penny Pie Park - this is a fantastic new community facility and it brought real pleasure to see the excitement of the local children enjoying the new play areas.”
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."
