BARNSLEY Council has cut back an overgrown footpath in Royston after weeks of complaints.
Out-of-control weeds were allowed to grow up to two metres high on the well-used path along Royston Canal, which connects Church Hill and Midland Road.
Don Parkin, of Church Hill, walks his dog on the path and criticised the council for failing to act quicker - despite mounting complaints in recent months for attention to be finally given to the area.
“It’s unacceptable how bad it was allowed to get,” the 68-year-old told the Chronicle.
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."
