SPORTSWEAR giant JD Sports plans to open a new gym in Barnsley as part of its expansion into large format health clubs.
Planning permission was granted last year to turn the former MFI store on Twibell Street into a trampoline park, but the operator pulled out due to the opening of the rival Jump One trampoline park at Barugh Green.
Owner of the former MFI site, The Peel Group, has this week applied for the lifting of restrictions in the planning permission, allowing the opening of a gym instead of a trampoline park.
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."
