A COLOURFUL mural which was made to cover up graffiti has already been vandalised.
Friends of Elsecar Park collaborated with Elsecar Holy Trinity Church of England Primary Academy and Virgin Media to get rid of graffiti on the reservoir walls underneath the bridge. The provider white washed the graffiti while the children drew their favourite animals and trees which was copied onto the walls.
However, not long after the mural was unveiled, it has been vandalised again.
Barnsley Council said: “Not only is this a case where graffiti spoils our beautiful borough, but the messages shared were offensive hate crime comments.”
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."
