Work to start on Doncaster cultural scheme
Manchester-based developer Muse Developments is to start work on the first phase of Doncaster's new multi-million pound Civic and Cultural Quarter.
New civic offices and a one-stop shop for the council's customer services will comprise Stage One of the £300m regeneration scheme, which was approved in September. Meanwhile, work on a new £22.3m performance venue, the first public square and other first phase elements will get underway in early 2011.
Funding for the project has been provided by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund's allocation for the Yorkshire and Humber area. Doncaster Council cabinet member for business and regeneration Jonathan Wood said: "While many developments in other parts of the country have failed to materialise, this major regeneration programme is right on track.
"The scheme will create hundreds of jobs and enhance Doncaster's reputation and image as a town on the up." Muse Developments regional director Dan Needham added: "The first phase of development will be the catalyst for the regeneration of the Waterdale area of Doncaster town centre."
