A NEW estate of affordable homes is to be built in Elsecar in a move which will help meet the needs of families in the district.
The site, which used to house the old King Street school, will provide homes for a total of 136 people and will be managed as ‘affordable’ properties, meaning they will be open to those who would struggle in the mainstream housing market.
Planners who approved the scheme were told that last year there were 586 applications for such housing in the area, with only eight homes becoming available.
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."
