The Forge Island development has reached another milestone as the old footbridge across the River Don has been removed to make way for a brand-new walkway!

The new pedestrian bridge will transport visitors to the leisure scheme on Forge Island, as well as connecting to Riverside Gardens and the wider town centre.

Keep up to date with the latest Forge Island and Town Centre regeneration works on the town centre website here.

It was a fantastic day on Sunday for the first UEFA Women’s EURO game and Fan Party in the town centre, and we can't wait to do it all over again!

Come along to the Fan Parties on Monday 18th and Saturday 23rd July from 2pm to 6pm, and enjoy live music, walk-around entertainment, football activities and lots more.

You're still welcome if you don't have a match ticket although you can secure your match tickets from just £10 for adults and £5 for concessions here.

Our amazing town centre cafes, bars and eateries will also be open if you fancy grabbing a bite to eat or a drink or two.
