SHAME on you Barnsley Council' came the cries as plans were passed for a renewable energy waste centre to which more than 400 people had objected.
Revised plans by development giant Peel Environmental for a £65 million renewable energy centre at the former Houghton Main Colliery site, off Park Spring Road, were approved on Tuesday.
The decision came down to the wire with eight councillors voting in favour and six against.
The go-ahead was met with anger from objectors in the public gallery.
**The full story appears in the Barnsley Chronicle dated June 5**
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."
