A COMMUNITY group will be celebrating the life of Olivia NewtonJohn with an open-air cinema at Monk Bretton Priory next Friday.

The event is taking place to remember the life of the famous actress who recently died.

The gates open at 6.30pm, with the film starting at approximately 8pm.

SPEED restrictions will be in place on the M1 near Barnsley next Thursday,

From 8pm on Thursday to 6pm on October 31, the M1 – both northbound and southbound between junction 36 and 35 – will have carriageway and lane closures for bridge works. These include narrow lanes and a 50mph speed restriction. A diversion route will be in place.

BARNSLEY businesses which have gone above and beyond by navigating the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic have been urged to put forward their nominations for a prestigious awards night.

Following the success of last year’s Celebration For Business event, Barnsley and Rotherham Chamber of Commerce is again hoping to recapture the spirit of the community when the awards return on November 4.

Ten different titles are up for grabs for Barnsley-based businesses, as well as an opportunity to build connections and network with local leaders.

Business have until September 16 to put forward their nominations ahead of the event, which takes place at Magna, Rotherham.

Andrew Denniff, chief executive, said: “This year, we’re hoping to build on the success we achieved in 2021 by creating a chance for members of the local business community to come together, reflect on their achievements over the past 12 months and celebrate the achievements of those businesses who have gone above and beyond the call of duty and succeeding in a particularly challenging economic climate. Running a business can be tough, and every company which has successfully navigated their way through the Covid-19 pandemic should be proud of their achievements.

“Celebration For Business is one of the largest events we host each year and it will provide an opportunity for local businesses to connect, make new business connections as well as reflecting on their own achievements. It promises to be an event not to be missed.”
