Cabinet approves the creation of a new Doncaster city centre 25-year masterplan
This week, Cabinet members at City of Doncaster Council have approved the creation of a new city centre masterplan and the submission of proposals to Government for the first three years of Long-Term Plan for Towns (LTPT) funding, which will see an injection of £20m funding to improve Doncaster city centre over the next ten years.
Results of the recent consultation survey, the Big City Conversation, *saw over 8000 of you respond* with what you think about the city centre and the results will feed into the creation of the masterplan which is due to be completed by the end of 2024.
