BIG SPRING CLEAN: MP Dan Jarvis with the volunteers on Saturday.

BARNSLEY Central MP Dan Jarvis organised a ‘Big Spring Clean’ last month to tidy up parts of his constituency.
Dan was joined by a team of volunteers - made up of representatives from the council and the Church of the Nazarene - to tidy up both sides of Sheffield Road and the surrounding area.
He said: “Taking care of the environment is everyone’s responsibility.
“Events like this help keep our streets and green spaces clean and sends a powerful message that we value our community and are committed to tackling the scourge of littering.
“We collected lots of rubbish and have shown that, with a little elbow grease, positive change can happen in the local area.
“Moreover, the Big Spring Clean also served as a great opportunity to bring people together and chat about the other challenges facing our community.
“A big thank you to everyone who turned out to help.”
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."
