Barnsley Council is pleased to announce that it has been shortlisted in the Local Authority of the Year category for the Insider Yorkshire Property Industry Awards.
The award focuses on local authorities that have most effectively supported development and driven growth. It also looks at how they have aided commercial operators in completing developments across all sectors of the marketplace.
The submission for this year’s entry focused on the launch of The Glass Works developments, and the progress made securing anchor tenants. It also includes the County Way re-development and the Property Investment Fund Phase Two which has encouraged speculative development in Barnsley. The council’s approach to enabling housing growth as well as the Longcar Housing development was also considered.
This fantastic announcement followed the council’s success in 2016 when it won the award for the same category. Last year, the council faced stiff competition from Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council, Leeds City Council and Wakefield Metropolitan Borough Council.
The awards evening will take place on Thursday 28 September at New Dock Hall in Leeds.
