UPDATE NOV 23

I am very pleased for residents in Mexborough, Moorends and Woodlands that our levelling up bid of £17 million has been successful.

The success of the bid is a credit to all the local residents who supported the bid as well as to Doncaster Council and Mayor Ros Jones for their persistence and hard work.

These resources are designed to help contribute to regeneration in Woodlands, Mexborough and Moorends. It shows what a Labour Mayor working with Labour MPs can achieve.

The success of the bid does not make up for the massive cuts in funding that our areas have seen over more than a decade at the hands of the government but it can make a real difference to our area.

Now we need to make sure we involve the community in making sure this money makes a real difference.
