The new vision: City Challenge 2

Abstract

The success of Barnsley's bid for funding, under the Government's second round of the City Challenge projects, represents the latest tangible outcome of the synergy of partnership in action. Even more impressive is the fact that this was Barnsley's second successful bid; the town had already been awarded funding, with Doncaster and Rotherham councils, in the first round for the development of the Deame Valley Park. Barnsley, therefore, became the only urban area to “win” in both rounds of funding — something that was thought to be impossible in the early preparations for the bid.
