Doncaster Southern Gateway to the City Centre – Business Roundtable

Description

Doncaster Council is inviting city centre and nearby businesses to a roundtable discussion about the Southern Gateway – one of the most important transport corridors connecting Doncaster’s business, retail and leisure areas with the wider region.

The Council has secured central government funding to invest in this route, delivering improvements that will make it easier, safer and more reliable for customers, employees and deliveries to reach the city centre.

Why this matters for your business
The Southern Gateway improvements are designed to:

• Reduce congestion and improve journey times for buses and general traffic
• Enhance access to workplaces, retail areas and the city centre by making routes more direct and user-friendly
• Encourage footfall by creating safer, better-lit, and more attractive public spaces
• Support sustainable travel choices for staff and customers, aligning with corporate ESG and net zero goals
• Minimise disruption through phased construction, informed by business feedback

• An overview of the proposed changes to Cleveland Street, Trafford Way, White Rose Way and Middle Bank
• Construction planning and phasing
• Opportunities for collaboration on business access, communications and placemaking
