A PLOT of Barnsley Council land at Elsecar may be sold as part of a project which could see around 30 new affordable homes built there.
The site, at King Street, is surplus to the council needs and it has been looking to sell it since 2014, when it opened an ‘informal tenders’ process to take bids for the land.
If the current deal is approved, the sale will generate £250,000 for the council.
That was unsuccessful and it has now been involved in discussions with a building firm which would like to take it on as a site for around 30 affordable homes.
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."
