PROTESTERS against the Hoyland masterplans believe that Barnsley Council’s pledge for a ten per cent net gain in biodiversity are ‘nonsense’.Council bosses.
× BARNSLEY Council has stepped in to take control of a historic heritage railway and is working on plans to resume services - but it will remain closed for now.
The Elsecar Heritage Railway (EHR) Trust, a group of volunteers which has maintained the railway line from Elsecar to Hemingfield since 2006, previously had an agreement in place with an outside engineering firm to cope with the labour and financial demands of the project.
But spiralling financial problems, compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic, saw the trust surrender the lease back to the council.
Questions still remain over certain parts of the track and infrastructure, with the authority claiming it will begin disposing of ‘some rolling stock and equipment’ not expected to be used in the future.
