Following a major fire which gutted the building on 18 August, the site owners of the former Chicago Rock at Wellington Street have appointed demolition contractors who have started on site over the weekend. The area continues to be cordoned off to minimise any risk of harm to the public.
The importance of ensuring public safety also means the road closures affecting Wellington Street, New Street and Westway will remain in place for up to two weeks.
Responsibility for the safe demolition of the building, providing a safety cordon around the site during and after the work, together with related traffic management issues, rests with the building owner.
A number of nearby buildings including Wellington House and retail premises within the cordoned off area remain closed. Barnsley Council is doing all it can to support businesses affected by this situation. A number of traders have been successfully assisted in moving temporarily to alternative trading locations including The Civic in Eldon Street and market stalls.
Historic England has completed an archaeological scan of the site to capture important information about the historical significance of the site.
Barnsley Council will continue to provide regular updates on this situation
