Have your say on changes to Tankersley Parish boundary

During the recent review of Barnsley Council’s ward boundaries it became apparent that the boundary of Tankersley Parish Council, having remained unchanged for hundreds of years based on the parish boundary St Peter’s Church, passed through a number of dwellings in the Hoyland Common area that have been built since.

The Local Government Boundary Commission suggested a Community Governance Review to resolve this situation and Barnsley Council is taking this forward. Barnsley Council is proposing a minor alteration of the boundary to take it around rather than through these houses.

View the proposed boundary alteration.

Members of the public and any interested groups are invited to submit their view to electoralservices@barnsley.gov.uk.

This consultation will close on 18 December 2025.
