- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: Published March 23, 2019 08:47:49 AM A report which has agreed to allocate £250,000 from the Berneslai Homes surplus to support work on an affordable warmth programme for private sector housing over the next three years has been approved. Launching in March, at least 106 households will benefit from the overall programme, giving an average spend per property of £2,358. External funding of around £575,000 is also expected to be brought in, allowing hundreds more households to benefit. All energy efficiency works will be delivered through the existing Better Homes Barnsley framework and the new Warm Homes and Hospital Discharge team will help to assess need and eligibility for these schemes. The Barnsley energy tariff, the local energy supply offer provided by Great North Energy, will also be available to the residents who benefit from this programme, offering further potential for them to save money and be able to heat their homes to a comfortable level. The programme will be fully evaluated so that further funding can be secured to make it sustainable in the long-term. It will rely on referrals from health professionals and front-line council workers, although residents can self-refer. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “There are currently around 11,500 households in fuel poverty in Barnsley and we also have above average rates of excess winter deaths. “This funding will allow the council to take a more holistic approach to tackling cold homes by joining up with other services to provide heating systems and insulation to the most vulnerable residents living in private sector housing.” Paul Hayes, Chair of Berneslai Homes Board, added: “Last year the Berneslai Homes Board agreed to spend some of its company surplus to support projects aimed at economic regeneration and the health and wellbeing of people in Barnsley. This is the first of those projects aimed at reducing fuel poverty. “We want all residents in Barnsley to have a home that is warm and safe to live in.” This news is linked to Town Spirit. We want to work better together. If everyone in Barnsley does just one thing, together we can make our borough a more welcoming place where people want to live, work and visit.

- wathupondearne Latest news in Yorkshire: October 30, 2018 02:42:20 PM Over 80 stalls set to be occupied in The Glass Works for first day of trading Over 80 stalls are set to be occupied in the new Barnsley Market Hall ahead of its opening on Friday 2 November. Traders are busy preparing for the move into The Glass Works following the hugely successful move of meat and fish traders into the Barnsley Market Food Hall at the start of September. And today, Barnsley Council is delighted to announce that almost all of the stalls in the market will be occupied on the first day of trading with the remainder opening over the next few months. Fifty-three stalls will set up on the ground floor of the market on opening day with others moving in before the end of the year. Upstairs, 32 of the 40 units will be occupied. The remaining eight are set to be let before the end of the year. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – a momentous occasion in the market’s rich history – will take place on May Day Green on Friday 2 November with an official opening a day later on Saturday 3 November. The first exciting details about the occasion can now be revealed. The Mayor of Barnsley, Councillor Steve Green, will ring the traditional market bell after a speech from Leader of Barnsley Council, Sir Steve Houghton. We’ll be celebrating the history of Barnsley Market with your market memories – while there will also be family entertainment, promotions, competitions and special guest appearances. The move of market traders into the new Market Hall represents a huge milestone in The Glass Works project. Traders from Market Parade will leave their temporary home underneath the multi-storey car park after trading on Saturday 20 October. May Day Green Market will remain open until Saturday 27 October. They will move into the new Market Hall – a bright, modern and spacious market setting more akin to a department store. The new market will also feature extended opening hours and Thursday openings. Meanwhile, market cafes are preparing to move into Market Kitchen later in the month with more details on the move and flagship food court to be announced soon. Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “The opening of Barnsley Market Hall will be a fantastic occasion. We’re extremely excited to welcome the traders into The Glass Works and right back into the heart of Barnsley town centre. “The redevelopment of our town centre is built around our famous market. Barnsley has had a market since 1249; it’s what we’re famous for and that’s why the new market is at the centre of The Glass Works. People from far and wide will want to visit the famous Barnsley Market and celebrate what’s sure to be a fantastic next chapter in its rich history. “I want to urge local people to come out and support our brilliant market traders in the Market Hall and Food Hall, both for the opening and moving forward into the future.” Following the market’s move into The Glass Works, the temporary building on May Day Green will be dismantled and sold on, while Market Parade will come down with the multi-storey car park in January. The opening of Barnsley Market Hall – together with the Food Hall – is part of the multi-million pound redevelopment of Barnsley town centre, which includes The Glass Works, markets, public realm, Library @ The Lightbox and Market Gate Bridge.
