Visitors to Doncaster city centre will soon notice works taking place in the Waterdale area of the city with the old Central Library being removed and replaced with an open and inviting public space, preparing the area for future investment opportunities.

Works will commence from 18th March and should take roughly 14 weeks. The project is funded as part of the National Levelling Up funding scheme.
