A NEW Clean Green and Tidy 'task force' could be operating across the Penistone area as early as this summer after councillors gave the go-ahead to find a contractor to do the work.
The first contract will run for 18 months and £160,000 has been made available from funds supplied by Barnsley Council through the Penistone Area Council to pay for the work.
Councillors have now agreed to put the contract out to tender, with a remit that will cover jobs such as litter picking, graffiti removal, controlling brambles and tidying up areas of land.
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."
