Shaping the Future: Barnsley 2040
Published: 25/08/2026
By supporting Barnsley 2030 we’ve worked with different organisations to help local communities. Joining community clean-ups, promoting healthy lifestyles, and helping residents find job opportunities are some examples of how we’ve made a difference.
Now, we're asking people across Barnsley what matters most to them, what they value about life here today, and what they'd like to see in the years ahead.
The Shaping the future: Barnsley 2040 survey is the first step in a wider conversation, with more opportunities to share your views and get involved over the coming months.
Visit barnsley.gov.uk/ShapingTheFuture to complete the survey, find out how your feedback will be used, and explore other ways to get involved!
