A NEW pub could open in Hoyland if Barnsley Council approves of the plan in a move which would help reverse the loss of bars in the area and could also contribute to the revitalisation of the district.
Businessman Thomas Toumazou wants to covert a disused shop in the town centre on King Street into what he describes as a ‘micro pub’ with the objective of providing an alternative venue to those which already exist in the district.
His proposal is for a bar which would promote conversation - with no plans for amplified music, television screens or gaming machines.
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."
