BARUGH Green will have Christmas lights for the first time this year thanks to a donation of lights worth more than £5,000.
Businessman Eddie Riby, owner of Direct Global Trading Ltd, has donated the lights which will be switched on a Barugh Green Primary on Higham Common Lane.
Santa will visit the school on November 20 to light up a 16ft Christmas tree - the school's first tree - as well as 17 lampposts.
Eddie has had help from Barnsley Council, which will install the lights using money from the ward budget.
** The full story will appear in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated November 7. **
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."
