× WATERLOGGED sites which have been formally adopted for future development by Barnsley Council must be revised after being hit by more flooding in recent weeks, campaigners have urged.
Two sites on Darton Lane, Darton and Lee Lane, Royston have been swamped following prolonged spells of heavy rain and sub-zero temperatures, despite both being included in the council’s local plan development blueprint for future housing.
