A BARNSLEY woman who lobbied parliament for a fairer deal on pensions is urging ladies from the town to join the campaign.
Elaine Newcombe was ‘so proud’ to have taken part in the Women Against State Pension Inequality (WASPI) demonstration outside the Houses of Parliament on Wednesday.
The 63-year-old, of St John’s Road, has never protested, marched, been to London or had cause to contact her MP in her life but felt she had to make her voice heard as part of the campaign.
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."
