THE fountains outside Barnsley Town Hall remain switched off - after a part to solve an issue with water level control was delayed.
A hit with children in the summer months at Pals Centenary Square, the fountains have been out of action for most of the heatwave since mid-June.
Officials had originally said they were due to be repaired two weeks ago but yesterday a council spokesman said a date for them to be switched on wasn’t available.
“We’re waiting on a part to arrive as there’s been a fault of the fountains’ water level control. Until that arrives, we cannot provide a date for them coming back on.”
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."
