The council don't give a rat's arse. Hardly surprising, they're all as thick as two short planks. Heritage? Most of them probably can't even spell, it, let alone appreciate it. So long as people keep voting for them though, nothing will change. Half the local electorate don't even bother to turn up come local election time and the ones that do generally vote Labour even if they oppose everything the local Labour party stands for, because it's a tribal thing. Hence we end up with the same bunch of self-perpetuating numpties running the council year after year and decade after decade. Not happy with the decisions they are taking? Then for God's sake turn up and vote them out.

It’s time to start saving Barnsley’s history and stop destroying it.

This building is nearly 250 years old and has served as a focal point for the local community for many years.
It is an absolute disgrace that Barnsley Council is allowing yet another part of our heritage to be destroyed. Surely another use could have been found for this building

This is an important community pub and used to be a couch house in ancient times and has been open for 300 years and should be saved.

Such an old building would be a loss to the community I know times are hard and these people don't care it's just Money but this is an historic place

This historic building goes back to 1773 and is one of the oldest pubs in our area. (Please see 'Ardsley and Stairfoot Revisited' by Tony Heald and Michael Chance) page 81. The Black Bull should remain a Traditional public house and serve its community in its own special way.

Keep the black bull open. Too many pubs are being knocked down and houses built we need our community to stay together and have a local pub to meet up.

If they close this down, it will probably be pulled down like all our nice old pubs in that area. Cross Keys went, then the Coach and Horses. There will no history left!!
