A ONCE popular Wombwell social club could be demolished and replaced with houses if a planning application submitted to the council is successful.
The Mitchell and Darfield Social Club, on Roy Kilner Road, shut its doors in August after the committee voted to close it due to a decline in trade.
Now the club has been purchased by Barnsley-based property company Mason-Horner Ltd, which has submitted plans to demolish the flat and social club and build three detached houses on the site.
The planning application (2015/0095) is available for comments until February 23.
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."
