WORKMEN are working around the clock to ensure the gardens at the side of Barnsley Town Hall are finished in time for this week's opening.
Council leader Steve Houghton said the gardens will be finished in time to coincide with the opening of Experience Barnsley, an all-new museum inside the building.
But he said the fountains would not be in use for another month to allow the stonework to dry.
"The gardens will be ready but there will still be work to be done and some things won't quite be ready. People will still be able to use it and we'll be having some events on there.
"The overwhelming majority of the work will be done."
A council spokesman confirmed people have been working on the site over the weekend and said it was always envisaged that this would be a requirement.
