A PROJECT to help areas in Barnsley get superfast broadband has been launched.
Superfast South Yorkshire helps areas which previously could not receive faster broadband speeds to access speeds of up to 80mbps.
The first fibre broadband cabinet, serving 84 premises, went live on Fall Bank Crescent, Dodworth - an area which has struggled to get faster speeds - on Friday.
The £22m project was announced last year and will ensure high speed broadband coverage for about 98 per cent of homes across the county.
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."
