Group Members

As Friends Of 'The Hoyland Lowe Stand Trust', we simply want the landmark to be still standing in another 100 years time, still accessible to all, not 'blocked in' by industrial development and also flood-lit at night to highlight the landmark to all. The group is in the process of setting up a Trust, which hopefully, will own the Stand one day - as Friends of the stand, it will be our job to support the Trust with resources.....

Who's Involved?

Potentially 1,400 people - all those who signed the petition in 2007 to halt Barnsley MBC selling off the land...

The Current Situation

Is that Barnsley MBC (Current Owners), acknowledge the poor state of repair of the building. But with the council having to sell off land & buildings to finance projects for new schools etc, then this landmark and it's land originally went onto a list to be auctioned off.

After a successful petition by local residents, where over 1,400 people signed up, the council then decided to put it on the 'Year 3 List'. This fundamentally means the same situation will occur again in the near future.

It is at this point where the trust hopes to have secured some form of agreement to what will happen to the landmark and who will be held responsible for it.
