We’d like to say a big thank you to those living in Cudworth, Barnsley, who helped to clear up their community following a five car collision earlier this month.
On Sunday 20 August, at around 10pm, a Volkswagen Golf was involved in a collision in Barnsley Road, which resulted in four parked cars being damaged.
Residents of the community quickly called police who were soon on the scene to assist.
PC Angie Jenkinson who attended the incident, said: “People were great, they quickly helped us move the damaged cars off the road and began to sweep the street of debris caused by the collision.
“I think we were all touched that they just decided to help, without ever being asked, and were so willing and eager to do so.
“Thanks to them, the road was cleared quickly and other traffic was free to drive down the street soon after. I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped, you all showed the true community spirit of Barnsley!”
Thankfully, no one was injured in the collision. The driver of the car, a 19-year-old man, has been reported on summons for failing to stop at the scene of a collision.

- 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.
