Market Parade – the temporary market building under Barnsley town centre’s
multi-storey car park – will close for one day only on Monday 24 September
to safely allow initial demolition works to take place that will enable the
next phase of the Glass Works project to commence.
The demolition works will take place on Sunday 23 and Monday 24 September.
Market Parade will open for business as usual from Tuesday 25 September. May
Day Green Market, the newly opened Food Hall and the open market will trade
as normal.
Councillor Roy Miller, Cabinet Spokesperson for Place, said: “The safety of
our traders, customers and staff during the demolition phase of works is
paramount which is why we have had to make the decision to close Market
Parade .
“We’re committed to working with our traders throughout the regeneration of
the town centre, and very much look forward to welcoming them into their new
home in The Glass Works at the start of November.
“It’s incredibly important that the people of Barnsley continue to support
our famous markets throughout the regeneration work and beyond the
completion of The Glass Works in 2021.”
Market Parade – one of two temporary homes for Barnsley Market traders along
with May Day Green – is still open for business as usual until the new
Market Hall opens in The Glass Works, with an official opening set to take
place on Saturday, 3 November.
This follows the hugely successful opening of the new Barnsley Market Food
Hall on 31 August – the first part of The Glass Works to open to the public
and the first market to be open six days a week, with the addition of
Thursday openings.

- 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.
