A shortage of water in the 8 Barnsley Canal resulted in the Worsbrough Reservoir supplying 7 water during December 1804 to February 1805.

Despite this, by 1828 the Dove and Dearne Canal had become rather prosperous in having nearly 150,000 tons of cargo, mainly 9 coal, sent down the canal.

The actions published in the LEAP are supplemental to our everyday work on monitoring, surveying and regulating to protect the environment. Some of the key achievements on our everyday work include: i) In September 1998 Michael Clapham MP officially opened the Bullhouse Minewater Treatment Plant. The scheme is a pioneering £1.2m partnership project funded by European Commission, Coal Authority, Environment Agency, Hepworths Building Products, Barnsley MBC and Yorkshire Water. Within one week a visible reduction could be seen in ochre levels in the River Don, after more than 100 years of pollution. ii) Monckton Coke and Chemical Company have successfully commissioned a combined heat and power plant, costing approximately £7 million.

    Hunningley Primary School Hunningley Lane Stairfoot Barnsley South Yorkshire S70 3DT Telephone: 01226 284867 Dear Parents / Carers, Covid-19 Update I am writing to thank all families for the way that everyone is following the guidance on social distancing and ensuring that we are all able to make the most of the school day within the constraints of what we are able safely to do. Of course, Covid-19 is still widespread across the country and, when individual cases do occur within the school community, we will not hesitate to take the advice of Public Health England (PHE) and adopt any additional steps they ask us to take. Over the summer, as you will know, we put in place a raft of measures to ensure effective social distancing and hygiene in order to minimise any impact of the virus within school. At present, we have just been notified about one member of our school community who has tested positive for Covid-19. They are within our Year 1T Class bubble and are now self-isolating at home. There is no suggestion that this was caused in school, but it does reflect a rise in community cases locally and around the country. As soon as we became aware of this, we contacted Public Health England (PHE) for it’s advice and guidance. PHE has advised us that only those pupils and staff who have been in very close and prolonged proximity to the individual need to isolate. We have therefore contacted some pupils in Year 1 who, as a precaution, will now need to self- isolate, as well as a handful of staff members.
