We are proud to announce that Rotherham will be hosting Yorkshire Day on Tuesday 1 August.

As hosts, the town will welcome Mayors, Lord Mayors, Civic Leaders and VIPs from across Yorkshire for a parade through the town centre, setting off from Rotherham Town Hall at 11am.

Plus, there will be activities and entertainment in All Saints' Square for everyone to take part in, so come join us and let's celebrate Yorkshire!

We're delighted to have welcomed a number of new businesses recently, including:

Amo's Street Food - now open at 66 Effingham Street, offering street food with a twist as all the fresh produce is grilled or air fried. Choose from a mouthwatering range of dishes including steak loaded fries, king prawn salad, smashed burgers, halloumi sticks and even lobster boxes!

The George Wright Boutique Hotel, Bar & Grill on Snail Hill is under new management and offering a brand new menu! Enjoy a new dining experience and see your food cooked in front of you by the talented chefs.

The authentic Mediterranean grill menu features a range of delicious dishes including chicken, lamb, steak, kebabs, wraps and burgers. There is even a fresh salad bar with lots of tasty choices to complement your meal. Why not chill out in the new look courtyard or under the tipi with a refreshing summer drink. There are also 7 luxury en-suite bedrooms available to book too.

Public consultations have opened on the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) that covers Rotherham Town Centre and Clifton Park, and the borough-wide order on dogs.

The two orders, that deal with anti-social behaviour and dog fouling, are due to expire in September 2023. It is proposed that new PSPO’s will be made around both issues depending on the consultation responses and evidence.

Share your views on the orders before 6 August here.

A story of happiness. Of self-discovery. Of song. And of dance!
