A GREAT HOUGHTON resident is taking matters into her own hands after being told the council couldn't help her with 10ft wide potholes on her road.
Jenny Crowder, 49, moved to Lister Row three months ago. After concerns about a series of potholes outside her rented home, she contacted Barnsley Council - but was told they couldn't help her because it is a private road.
Jenny said she would be willing to fill the potholes in herself if she could get some materials.
** The full story is in the Barnsley Chronicle, dated November 21. **
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."
