BUSINESSES on Burlington Arcade claim they have been forgotten about in Barnsley Council’s multi-million pound regeneration of the town centre.
As work on the £5.3m new library steps up on May Day Green, with ground breaking taking place on Monday, heavy machinery is ‘shaking’ existing shops and putting off people from using neighbouring shops, whose premises back on to the site.
Vaughn Holland-Tibble, manager of Ghia Menswear, said: “The works are shaking the shop to its core - the vibration through the wall is knocking displays on to the floor and tripping the lights.”
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."
