A NEW fire station for Barnsley is ‘on the radar’ after fire bosses earmarked reserves of £4.5 million to replace the ageing station within the next few years.
South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority met on Monday when members were presented with a report outlining its planned spending programme over the next five years on things such as transport, premises and equipment.
Barnsley Fire Station has been included in the lengthy list for the 2018/19 financial year, with £4.5m earmarked in order to replace the Broadway station.
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."
