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.
