Free bus pass warning for young people causing trouble at Barnsley Interchange

Young people caught up in anti-social behaviour at Barnsley Interchange could see their free bus passes looked at again, Barnsley Council has said.

The warning is aimed at a small minority whose behaviour is causing problems for other passengers and staff at the town's main bus and coach station.

The council says the interchange should be a safe and welcoming place for everyone, and that the behaviour of a few should not become the norm or damage the town's reputation.

It stresses that young people simply gathering together is not the issue. The concern is anti-social behaviour, intimidation and violence.

Anyone with information about trouble at the interchange can report it to South Yorkshire Police or anonymously through Crimestoppers.
