Barnsley Labour brought a balanced budget to the Town Hall today: it passed. The Liberal Democrats and Independents voted against it.
Reform UK didn't even show up.

[Barnsley Chronicle @ChronOnline]

A brewery which sold a two-centuries-old pub with links back to Barnsley Football Club’s early days has been accused of ‘failing the community’ - and breaking a key part of the town’s history.

Tomorrow's paper is available online, too.

Out this morning in Central Ward listening to residents. Labour councillors with you all year round

Barnsley. What a town. I visited for the first yesterday to film a report for tonight’s News at Ten.

The centre is full of life, the people we met were warm and welcoming and those moors! In the gaps between the buildings you catch glimpses of stunning countryside. #blownaway

@DanJarvisMBE Congratulations Dan. Well done. Carry on with your hard work and commitment to Barnsley

[Liam Thorp @LiamThorpECHO]

We have had another week in which the catastrophic state of this country has been brutally expose and another week that shows this government's only priority is to divide and stir up the culture wars

A frustrating 🧵

[Association of Labour Councillors (ALC) @LabourCllrs]

Councils of every size and political leaning are at breaking point after of 14 years of increased demand and reduced funding.

Finally, Conservative MPs begin to understand the scale of the problem they have created.

I didn’t play truant from school often, but this was one occasion I did and was on front page of the Liverpool Echo. I’m the one in the Parker. Had some explaining to do!!!

@grouchy15 @YWHelp @YorkshireWater Totally agree. Glad you have bottled water.

[Martin O’Donoghue @Martin4Central]

@grouchy15 @YWHelp @YorkshireWater Hi, can you DM me if you need bottled water. I will deliver some.

I was under the impression that Yorkshire Water had restored supply to most areas. You should DM Yorkshire Water to get an update for your area.

[Martin O’Donoghue @Martin4Central]

UPDATE: Tankers at Silkstone pub. Yorkshire Water have sent tankers to pump water into the mains. They will continue to send tankers until pressure has built up in mains. Throughout night if necessary.

[Martin O’Donoghue @Martin4Central]

@YWHelp Time to act now Yorkshire Water. Nearly eight hours of no water. You need to distribute bottled water now. Many vulnerable customers who have mobility or affordability issues cannot access bottled water.

Local large supermarket ran out of still bottled water at 12.30.

[Martin O’Donoghue @Martin4Central]

Yorkshire water now saying no water to Worbrough Common due to a potential water main pipe burst
