TOWN centre businesses were given an update on the Better Barnsley project - including the new cinema, library, shopping area and a planned bowling alley.
A new retail forum has been launched by Barnsley Council to pull together businesses and get them on board and support the £125m scheme - something council bosses say is key to making the regeneration work.
The Chronicle attended the meeting, held at the Civic last Thursday, when council officials outlined a schedule of work for major revamp.
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."
