BARNSLEY Council leader Sir Steve Houghton has paid tribute to a former mayor who died last weekend.
Trevor Naylor became a councillor in May 1974 and served in the Wombwell South ward up until the boundary changes in 2004, when he represented Hoyland Milton up until his retirement in 2010.
He enjoyed a year as mayor between 1991 and 1992, and was also the chairman of highways.
Sir Steve said: “Trevor was a long-standing councillor and a former Mayor of Barnsley.
“He’ll be remembered as a forthright speaker and a well-known character in Wombwell and Hoyland.
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."
