Most people prefer to contact us or access our services online using a variety of devices including tablets, smartphones, digital TVs, and even on kiosks in our service centres.
Because we're a large and complex organisation, made up of many different departments and offering over 700 services, it's important that our website makes it as easy as possible for you to find and access the services that you need.
As well as using our site to find information about our services, we've now made it possible for you to apply for, pay for, and report problems about many of them online. So, if you're looking for our pest control service, for example to get a wasps' nest removed, you can now read about it, apply for the service, pay the appropriate charge and then monitor the status of your request via our website.
As well as our main council website we also have a number of independent websites hosted by our partners, which we're looking to bring together, so that you can access everything in one place. These include:
- Barnsley Museums
- Consultations
- Dearne Valley Landscape Partnership
- Democratic papers
- Digital Media Centre
- Enterprising Barnsley
- Family Service Directory
- Financial Services
- I Know I Can (IKIC)
- Jobs (online recruitment)
- Library catalogue
- Planning Explorer (applications)
- Roadworks search
- Trans Pennine Trail
- Youth council
