BARNSLEY’S new mayor has chosen his theme for the year and it is one close to his heart - ‘families first’.
Coun Jeff Ennis was formally elected into the role at a special ceremony held at Barnsley Town Hall last Friday and will assume the position of mayor for 2017/2018.
The retiring mayor Coun Linda Burgess was thanked for her service and presented with a replica medallion at the ceremony.
Former Barnsley East and Mexborough MP, Coun Ennis, said he chose the theme focussing on families as his family is ‘very important’ to him.
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."
