“This is the beating heart of the ‘Better Barnsley’ vision. Financed by the Council to champion further economic growth it gives locals a new place to reconnect and socialise. Retaining Barnsley Markets, with 100 stalls, at its core characterizes our community focused approach. The integrated new Library@Lightbox is a star of this exemplar regeneration complimenting a large outdoor events space, retail and leisure.”
