FOUR of Barnsley’s most famous sons and daughters are set to receive the honorary Freedom of the Borough for exceptional service.
Egyptologist Joann Fletcher, folk singer Kate Rusby, former Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire David Moody and poet Ian McMillan are set to be bestowed with Barnsley Council’s highest honour at a ceremony at the town hall in June.
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."
