BARNSLEY Council spent more than £24,000 on Operation London Bridge - Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral - but has not revealed how the cash was spent.
The operation was the funeral plan for the late Queen, and included the announcement of her death, the period of official mourning and the details of her state funeral.
The council spent a total of £24,268 on the operation but has not responded to several requests from the Chronicle to explain where it went.
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."
