Doncaster is a place of places; we know each town and village has it's own individual priorities.
That's why we've created Locality Plans for each community - a dedicated plan to help develop and improve each unique area in Doncaster.

Coronavirus Reminder
It’s clear that we are over the latest wave of COVID. Locally, the number of people in hospital with COVID is the lowest it has been for several months.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI) have released updated information about COVID Autumn booster vaccinations. Those eligible for a further booster will receive a combined COVID vaccine – offering protection against the original COVID virus and the initial Omicron variant.
That being said, we still need to be sensible and protect ourselves and others by staying at home if we have symptoms or test positive, and not visiting healthcare facilities or vulnerable friends and family if we have COVID or a possibility of having COVID.
There are simple things we can do in our daily life that will help reduce the spread of coronavirus and other respiratory infections, as well as protecting those at high risk. These include:
- Getting vaccinated
- Letting fresh air in if meeting others indoors.
- Practising good hygiene.
- Wearing a face covering or a face mask in crowded, enclosed spaces.
Please remember that if you are visiting a hospital, you are required to wear an appropriate face covering.
If you're planning to travel abroad this summer, some countries may still have COVID restrictions. You can check travel requirements on the government website.
Practicing hands, face and space as well as reducing your contacts on the lead up to any travel can help to avoid being unwell on holiday or being unable to go.
