2005 into 2006 has been a fantastic time for progressing our vision for Doncaster and we have made significant strides in achieving the plans we have set out for the Borough.
The phenomenal success of Robin Hood airport in its first year, combined with the opening of the Frenchgate Interchange is the culmination of a lot of work to make Doncaster even more accessible and attractive for residents, visitors and businesses.
The developments are not just about changing the way that Doncaster looks but also about offering the people of Doncaster the first class opportunities that they deserve. Education is vital to this. Standards in Doncaster have been improving year on year recently and our GSCE results are now at their best yet. The opening of Doncaster Education City on the newly redeveloped waterfront campus in September 2006 will continue to put education at the forefront in the town.
Whether as a parent of a young child, a teenager looking where their next steps will be or as an adult wanting to learn something new, there has never been a better time to be concentrating on education. This really is the time to grasp all the opportunities that Doncaster has to offer
