TALKS are underway which could see new ‘police hubs’ created in Barnsley to restore neighbourhood policing.
Police in Barnsley are looking at the idea of creating new ‘hubs’ with other public sector bodies, so they can sort out some of the common issues which affect people as a combined unit.
Ch Insp Mark James said the new model, if approved, could be phased in as soon as April next year.
He said the idea is to bring together police officers and other statutory bodies such as the council, housing, education and social care together under one roof.
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."
