FLY-TIPPING described as the ‘worst case in the borough’ has been cleared up by Barnsley Council.
Baths, toilets, sofas, cabinets, mattresses, drawers, kids’ toys, tyres and bags of rubbish have been strewn across a dead-end road in Shafton, off the A628 roundabout, for more than a year.
But the Chronicle can reveal the waste was removed last Friday by the council’s officers after widespread calls were made by local residents and Shafton Parish Council for them to step in.
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."
