A DEARNE councillor is hopeful that money can be found to see the whole of rundown Beever Street in Goldthorpe demolished.
Plans to demolish 19 of the houses (those with odd numbers) were passed by Barnsley Council's planning board in April but the houses on the other side of the street are in equally bad condition according to Coun Ralph Sixsmith.
Coun Sixsmith said: "All the houses are sub-standard and they are not fit for purpose. It's the 21st century and we need to improve."
** The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated July 10. **
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."
