CHECKOUT staff will be brought back in to one Barnsley supermarket after locals complained there were too many self checkouts.

Residents handed a 350-signature petition to the store in Grimethorpe complaining about the number of self checkout tills.

Gary Hotchins, of Grange Road, Brierley, said: "When we took the petition down the manager came out to see us and he was really good about the situation.

"He told us that head office are listening to what customers want, so they are putting the tills back in which is great news for our elderly residents."

It's expected that a staffed checkout will make a return in June.
