DEMOLITION work on four properties which were decimated by a raging fire on the hottest day on record started this week.
The homes - on Woodland Drive, off Broadway - were completely gutted in the inferno, which began after a shed caught fire in the height of the 40C heatwave on July 19 before spreading.
A spokesperson for Berneslai Homes, which manages properties on behalf of Barnsley Council, said the houses ‘met all relevant building and fire safety regulations’ following an investigation.
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."
