A DERELICT pub is to be turned into a new Co-op convenience store by the firm behind the town centre’s Gateway Plaza development, if plans submitted to Barnsley Council are approved.
The Brook Group is behind the plans for the Bush Inn at Kingstone. Jason Brook told the Chronicle a deal had been agreed with the Co-op and said if planning permission is granted the shop could be open early next year.
“It is great to get something moving with what’s become a bit of an eyesore over the years,” said Jason, who believes business confidence in Barnsley is growing.
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."
