Doncaster has been chosen to be part of the ‘Yorkshire Forward' Renaissance Towns Initiative. This is the first of its kind in the UK and in direct response to the government's White Paper ‘Our Towns and Cities: The Future Delivering an Urban Renaissance'.
What this means for us is that between December 2001 to June 2002, the Council worked in partnership with business, the community and international urban regeneration experts to create a 25 year vision of how Doncaster town centre can be transformed into a place of real quality and vitality.
This vision is expressed in 'The Doncaster Renaissance Town Charter 2002' launched on 17th June 2002 and shown in full here on our web site. (To view the document see below)
The Charter sets out the main principles for the future development of Doncaster town centre and has been produced by the Renaissance Town Team, made up of representatives of the Council, the community, service providers and local business.
The Town Team wants the Charter to influence the thinking of all who are involved in the development of our town centre. More importantly, they want comments on the Charter so that the vision can evolve and be responsive to change.
Copies of the Charter are available in public libraries and Council offices.
