AN enforcement officer is set to tackle problem areas in Barnsley where badly managed private rented homes has led to a spike in crime.
Monk Bretton, Carlton, Cudworth, Great Houghton, Grimethorpe and Royston will all be a part of the clampdown after the North East Area Council decided to spend £35,000 on an officer for a year.
The officer, who will be responsible for tackling low level problems, will also be a direct contact with the property owner and the tenant.
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."
