Doncaster heritage sites set for £560k refurb

Doncaster Council plans to invest £560,000 in improving heritage sites across the borough.

£450,000 is earmarked to turn Doncaster’s former Museum and Art Gallery into a multi-use space for heritage events and archive facilities.

Works to restore Doncaster Grand Theatre and the city’s St James Church are also planned.

Funds are available through the Doncaster Towns Deal Heritage project. More than £2m of match funding has been raised to support the renovation projects.

Doncaster Council Senior Projects Manager Neil Armstrong says it is an exciting opportunity to revitalise key heritage assets.

“[It] will lead to significant transformation, which should be embraced.”
