City Centre Strategy

City of Doncaster Council’s Cabinet have approved a new 25-year city centre strategy.

The strategy, which outlines a vision for the city centre until 2050, has been drafted up following an extensive consultation process. The council has worked with residents and businesses, as well as Team Doncaster partners and stakeholders across the city to hear their views on the strengths of our city centre, what needs improvement, and what the future could look like for Doncaster city centre.

Over 8000 residents completed Doncaster’s Big City Conversation consultation during summer 2024 and the results have been used in conjunction with other feedback including from local businesses, to shape the vision.

The extensive feedback process pulled out some key issues facing Doncaster city centre including safety and security, accessibility, and cleanliness, as well as issues such as empty shops and the overall look and feel of the place. Residents also made it clear they would like to see more events and activities, an improved retail offer, more green spaces, and experience a more welcoming feel when bringing families and young children.

The new strategy will enhance existing efforts to tackle these issues with an initial 12-month action plan focusing directly on residents’ immediate concerns.

The full strategy can be found below. Further information can also be found on the following web pages: The City Centre Strategy - Team Doncaster
