“Add to this our action-packed events programme and there’s never been so many reasons to enjoy a day out in the town centre.
“Like everywhere, Covid has provided real challenges, but we’re determined to support our retail and leisure tenants and we’re confident that when this final phase is open, Barnsley will have one of the most vibrant town centres in the north of England.”
