PARTS of Barnsley receive less lottery funding than almost everywhere else in the country.
Michael Dugher has backed new plans which would force operator Camelot to reveal how many tickets are being bought in each part of the country.
The latest statistics show that out of all 650 constituencies, Barnsley East has received only £42,406 from the Lottery this year – meaning it ranks fourth bottom of all constituencies.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle newspaper, dated November 28. **
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."
