A TEAM of business champions are hoping to turn around the fortunes of a dwindling town centre retail area as part of a new pilot scheme to boost footfall.
Representatives from businesses on The Arcade, including 8oz Burger, KT's, BIADS, Aroma, Debut Records and Kingstone Jewellers, are joining forces to become champions for The Arcade, once dubbed 'a jewel in the retail crown' of Barnsley.
Fresh Marketing Solutions, a company employed by Enterprising Barnsley to provide support to businesses, has undertaken one-to-one discussions with 23 of the 24 business tenants on The Arcade.
