New link road will put regeneration in the driving seat
Work has started on a new link road, which paves the way for a major regeneration scheme creating thousands of jobs and homes in the north-east of Doncaster. The DN7 Hatfield link road will
create a new 2.9km road between the M18 at Junction 5 to Waggons Way next to the former Hatfield Colliery. The start of work is the result of a collaborative effort led by Doncaster Council and supported by the Sheffield City Region, Waystone Limited and Homes England. The main contractor for the link road is Balfour Beatty. This crucial infrastructure
will enable the exciting Unity project to start. The Unity project is a private sector scheme, led by Waystone.
‘When it comes to business’
investment, Doncaster means
It will see 650 acres of land neighbouring Stainforth, Hatfield and Dunscroft opened up for development and linked directly to local communities. Unity is a mixed use development set to provide new homes and jobs, a marina, leisure and open spaces, shops, schools, healthcare facilities and numerous business opportunities. The long term project will trigger potential inward investment of £800m, create over 7,000 jobs and see 3,100 homes built. As well as
providing the conduit for the Unity development, completion of the Hatfield link road will
give greatly improved access to the motorway network for people living in Stainforth, Hatfield and surrounding areas.
Local dignitaries mark the work starting on DN7 Hatfield link road The total cost of the project is
about £16.7m. It is funded from £11.2m of Sheffield City Region Local Growth Funding (LGF), £3.5m from Waystone and the remainder from the council’s capital programme. Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones
said: “The Hatfield link road will crucially unlock substantial inward investment, stimulate economic growth and deliver jobs across the borough and the wider region. “When it comes to investment,
Doncaster means business. This bold plan is just another example of one of the major projects being delivered which are transforming
Doncaster into a great place to live, work, invest in and visit.” Dan Jarvis, Mayor of the Sheffield City Region, said: “The Hatfield link road is another great example of the Local Growth Fund delivering major improvements. “I’m pleased to see that work has
started on this scheme, which is the single largest investment of Local Growth Funding in any one project within our region.”
The new link road is expected to be completed in summer 2020. Visit:
