A CALL for the abolition of Brierley Town Council will finally be heard next week - three years after more than 27 per cent of local people backed it.
A meeting is being held at Grimethorpe welfare hall as part of the review being carried out by Barnsley Council into the town council's future.
The review has been delayed by the court case involving former clerk, Jan Cooper, who was jailed for three years in October last year for swindling £700,000.
Those who attend will vote on a motion which recommends the abolition of the town council.
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."
