Modern buildings and architecture have their place but there must be a place for heritage in Doncaster. Too much of the old town has been lost. Conservation areas need special protection. I also think that the old Gaumont/Odeon cinema should be saved.

Doncaster's impressive station approach road was knocked down to make way for this, as were impressive buildings on Frenchgate and St Sepulchre Gate. The Grand Theatre is the only surviving building of Station Road.

You can find these clone shops anywhere so why would you go out of your way to go to Doncaster? In its original form, this was called the Arnedale Centre. Some of Doncaster's most impressive facades and fine buildings were knocked down to make way for it. It shifts the centre of gravity away from what remains of Doncaster's historic centre.

Look to the margins of this metropolitan borough and you will see the truth - Rossington, Edlington, Stainforth, Moorends, Thorne. All of them run down places. DN7 is the most likely postcode where householders will be burgled in the whole UK. I feel ashamed to say I was born there and would never go back.

A once proud industrial town and seen by property developers as a place that "needs" a casino and more fast food outlets when some have closed even in the Frenchgate Centre.

This video presents a very sanitised view of Doncaster as DMBC would want you to see it. The reality is very different. A town that has lost so much of its identity and cultural heritage, some of the planning decisions there have been to the shame of DMBC. The recent decision to destroy the historic Gaumont Palace is so typical of DMBC.
