A DECISION on the future of Barnsley Council’s in-house school meals service is set to be made later this month, it has been announced.
Senior officers are considering a report which recommends its existing service is abolished - because it does not expect to make a profit - meaning the 49 schools currently using the service would need to find someone else to provide meals to 8,000 children across the borough.
The proposals will be decided on by ruling cabinet members at a meeting at Barnsley Town Hall on May 29.
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."
