Mexborough Town Centre Masterplan

Working with local members, stakeholders and the wider community the Council have produced a Masterplan to guide future investment decisions and as a basis for seeking funding to improve Mexborough Town Centre.

Background

There is a significant need for investment in the public realm, and in key buildings and services within the town centre. Mexborough has a busy High Street, but has high vacancy rates and several landmark buildings that are in disrepair. There is interest in development within the town centre, with new homes being built along the canal and near the railway station. In a time of significant uncertainty, it is important that the town has a clear plan which establishes priorities and principles for its future change, growth and evolution. Mexborough Futures Masterplan is part of this process.

City of Doncaster Council has produced the masterplan, working with a wide range of partners including; Elected Mayor Ros Jones and South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (SYPTE) Ward Councillors. The masterplan was subject to 2 rounds of community engagement during production.

The masterplan will be used to guide the evolution and growth of the town centre over the coming years, to ensure that the town is capable of responding and adapting to change as and when opportunities arise. This will be achieved by establishing a clear long-term vision, a set of objectives and principles, and a guiding plan for how this vision could be established.
