WORK starts on the first part of the £50m Better Barnsley scheme on Monday - a new car park for the town centre.
The former CEAG site next to the Jumble Lane level crossing will be transformed into car park for up to 170 vehicles, which will be ready by March.
It will include four spaces with locking facilities for motorcycles, ten bicycle lockers, eight disabled bays and a charging point for electric vehicles.
It will also feature a dramatic ‘light wall’, which will improve the retaining wall to the Harborough Hill Road flyover.
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."
