BARNSLEY East MP Michael Dugher put on a united front with a local pharmacy on Tuesday and backed calls for the government to re-think its planned cull of chemists across the country.
Pharmacy Wise, on High Street, Shafton, could be one of up to 3,000 chemists being axed by the Department of Health from October as part of plans to slash £170m from its budget.
But this could have dire consequences on communities like Shafton, according to Mr Dugher, who has vowed to continue campaigning against the cuts and urged local residents to follow suit.
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."
