Why Live anywhere else?
Nestling in the heart of South Yorkshire
Are two co-terminus villages Barnburgh And Harlington
Despite two names, we are one vibrant community with a desire to protect and maintain our local history and environment.
We have a diverse range of properties, from the original stone buildings in the conservation area of Barnburgh to the modern housing estates in Harlington.
We have a community school which consistently exceeds government standards,
A church that has for centuries been central to the county's history and whose 'Cat and Man' legend is re-known.
But most of all we have lots of lovely people who are neighbours and who are willing to help each other.

Proposal for waste plant
Three
local councils have agreed upon a plan to site a waste disposal
facility near our our villages .
The proposal by Barnsley Rotherham and Doncaster councils, who have received a grant of over £77 million pounds, is to use land to the rear of the current 'Next' eyesore that we all see every day.
A protest group set up by residents in Bolton upon Dearne are opposing the suggestion on the grounds that there hasn't been proper consultation and that the site is not suitable to to its close proximity to houses, schools and offices. They need our support in their fight.
