× BARNSLEY beauty spots rich in biodiversity have been officially recognised as sites of special scientific interest by Natural England - an honour which is the ‘icing on the cake’ after decades of conservation work following pit closures.
The River Dearne and its Dove tributary make up the Dearne Valley Wetlands - an area deemed to be nationally important for its bird species including the willow tit, bittern, garganey, lapwing, redshank and avocet.
The newly-awarded accreditation links different pockets of valuable habitats between Pool Ings in Royston, Worsbrough Mill, Carlton Marsh, RSPB Old Moor, Broomhill Flash and Adwick Washlands in Bolton-upon-Dearne.

× FED-UP residents of a street blighted by severe flooding believe they’ve found the source of the problem - but say their calls for action are falling on deaf ears.
Families living on Lang Avenue, Lundwood have had to endure destructive floods on at least four separate occasions since the shock floods of 2007.
Even in situations where rainfall isn’t heavy enough to cause the nearby River Dearne to burst its banks, many can wake up to waterlogged gardens.
This, say a group of residents determined to tackle the issue themselves, is due to a nearby drain which is blocked and damaged, and spews water out onto the fields to the east of the street when there is a significant downpour - and sometimes even when there isn’t.
