WORK is being planned on land around Langsett Reservoir to open up the site to wheelchair users as part of a project by Yorkshire Water to attract a wider cross section of visitors.
The company, which is Yorkshire’s second biggest landowner, has carried out research which shows most of those who visit its reservoirs are white, middle class and in the 35 to 55 age bracket, or older.
Now the company is looking to change that. At Langsett Reservoir work will be done to improve pathways and other disabled facilities to ensure access is easy for as many people as possible.
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."
