BAH humbug.
Barnsley Council has been branded Scrooge-like after denying health visitors and community nurses an extra day’s holiday.
Trade union Unite is angry that council bosses told health visitors, school nurses and community nurses they will not receive the extra day’s holiday that the rest of the council workforce is entitled to.
The 0-19 years’ children’s service was transferred from the NHS to the council in October as part of the government’s strategy for local government.
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."
