YOUNGSTERS identified as being responsible for antisocial behaviour in Darton have been referred Barnsley’s Youth Offending Team (YOT).
It follows work carried out by both Barnsley Council and South Yorkshire Police, focusing on areas such as Dearne Street and Bridge Street which have both been hit by a rise in related complaints.
Tasking officer Cath Fairweather said: “We’ve intervened following residents’ complaints and when there’s been a full admission of guilt, the appropriate outcome was to refer them to the team’s officers who will decide the best way forward.”
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."
