Doncaster Mayoral Candidates Discuss Key Issues Ahead of Election

As Doncaster prepares for its upcoming mayoral election, local business owners and residents emphasize the need for candidates to address city centre revitalization, crime, and support for struggling hospitality businesses, alongside the high-profile campaign issue of reopening the city's airport. Community members express concerns about diminishing footfall in the city centre, rising anti-social behaviour, and persistent crime affecting small businesses. They urge prospective mayors and councillors to prioritize public safety, economic recovery, and targeted support for local enterprises. These grassroots priorities reflect broader expectations for the new mayor to focus on practical solutions that improve daily life for Doncaster residents, beyond headline infrastructure projects.
