RESIDENTS living in an area of Barnsley claim it is being turned into a ghetto because private landlords are letting their properties on short term lets.
People living in Stocks Lane and the surrounding streets say there is an ongoing problem with fly-tipping, all night parties and anti social behaviour.
They say the problem is being caused by tenants moving in on a short term basis then dumping items of furniture they don't want when they move out on gardens and paths around the area.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated August 14. **
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."
