Doncaster Resilient Network

A Resilient Network, is a key recommendation in the Department for Transport (DfT) Transport Resilience Review. The review was published in response to extreme winter weather in 2013 and 2014 which tested the resilience of the nation’s transport network.

The recommendation stated “Each Local Highway Authority should make a start in identifying a 'resilient network' to which it will give priority through maintenance and other measures in order to maintain economic activity and access to key services during extreme weather”.

Doncaster’s Resilient Network is formed of the minimum road network which cannot be done without for a time and will allow for continued economic activity and connectivity. The plan below outlines how the Resilient Network will be managed and implemented moving forward.

The current Resilient Network for Doncaster will be reviewed biennially or following a highway incident with major impacts; the next review is scheduled to take place in April 2026.
