ONLY two of Barnsley's four district markets are managing to make a profit, a review has revealed.
It has been commissioned by Barnsley Council to assess how well Hoyland, Wombwell, Goldthorpe and Penistone district markets are performing, looking at financial figures from 2013/14.
It ran from last October to March this year and found that both Goldthorpe and Penistone are running at an operating loss.
Only Wombwell and Hoyland markets are turning a profit – albeit a small one - and all four markets are struggling to pull in new and younger customers.

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."
