Important Meeting & Events coming up
Have your say on Doncaster’s
major road scheme
Doncaster
Council is inviting residents to
learn more and have their say on
the Finningley and Rossington
Regeneration Route Scheme (FARRRS),
which will see a new link road
from Junction 3 of the M18 serve
the south-east of Doncaster.
A series of
public exhibitions are taking
place where people can view the
plans, ask members of the
project team questions and leave
invaluable feedback.
The events
are taking place at:
-
Holmescarr Community
Enterprise Centre,
Rossington – Friday 3
February (10am to 1pm)
-
Cantley Library – Friday 3
February (2pm to 6pm)
-
Asda (Bawtry Road) –
Saturday 4 February (10am to
8pm)
Mayor of
Doncaster, Peter Davies, said:
“FARRRS is more than a new link
road. It is a major improvement
to Doncaster’s infrastructure
with the potential to create
thousands of new jobs and drive
economic growth in the town and
across the region.
“Doncaster
benefits from a prime location
and superb transport links that
put the town within touching
distance of all corners of the
UK and overseas. FARRRS will
improve these links and enhance
our reputation as the logistics
capital of the north.
“I urge
people to attend one of the
consultation events so they can
find out how they and their town
can benefit from FARRRS.”
This formal
consultation exercise will
support a planning application
which will be submitted in
spring 2012. Subject to
necessary approvals construction
work is expected to start in
summer 2012 with the new road
becoming operational in early
2014.
FARRRS will
provide the required
infrastructure for a number of
significant private sector
developments to start in
Rossington and at the airport. A
dual carriageway will lead from
the M18 towards Rossington and
support the Inland Port, the
link will continue as a single
carriageway to the A638 at
Parrot’s Corner. A direct
connection will also be provided
into Rossington. The 4km stretch
of road will improve access and
improve journey times for people
travelling to and from this area
and the airport.
In April 2011, Doncaster Council
and its private sector partners
received an offer of support for
the full £18m which was bid for
from the Regional Growth Fund.
This government funding together
with contributions from private
sector developers and the
council will help deliver the
scheme.

Board on the village green, next to the bus shelter, where all of our
posters will soon be displayed.
