The Local Investment Plan is about radical reform and changing the way we do things to put the economy at the centre of everything we do. This includes working with the private sector to deliver new housing, as well as thinking up new ways to provide infrastructure like roads, power supplies and schools. Most importantly it is about working with local people to identify how the current priorities can help to attract new investment into local communities through the development of neighbourhood level plans. I want to turn the challenges we face nationally into opportunities for improvement locally. I am committed to local accountability and empowering the people of Doncaster to have their say on the issues that matter. At all times the council will work with its partners in the public and private sector as well as charities, community groups and local residents. Less central government funding means we will be looking to the private sector to deliver new investment, as a council we must achieve even greater value for money and make better use of our assets. The Local Investment Plan is based around the priorities set out in Doncaster’s Borough Strategy 2010-15 ‘A Plan for Doncaster’ and compliments key areas in other local plans including the Economic Strategy, the Housing Strategy, the Community Safety Strategy and the Children and Young People’s plan. The current investment priorities themselves are not new, but the local investment plan brings them together under a single borough wide strategy. The priorities are founded on a strong basis of research from a variety of sources. They have been developed and agreed by the council and its partners, working closely with the Homes and Communities Agency. The Local Investment Plan sets out the vision for Doncaster and the totality of the investment that is being mobilised by the Council and its Local Strategic Partners to deliver its programmes and priorities. The investment plan also sets out how unfunded priorities fit within the overall investment plan in order that new resources can be identified and attracted into the Borough. There are 3 challenges that the Local Investment Plan must address 1) increase the supply of houses, jobs, and businesses, into places where there is a local demand, 2) improve existing housing and make our neighbourhoods more attractive and investment friendly, 3) bring prosperity to our communities and support our most vulnerable people. This means seeing and addressing the needs of communities differently, using our land and others assets in new ways, and strengthening our working relationships with partner agencies. The Local Investment Plan will also enable us to reflect on how strong local leadership in the context of central government’s localism agenda will enable investment planning at a neighbourhood level to address additional local priorities. It will enable us to understand the role that private sector investment can play as well as how the council and its partners can use their assets to incentivise investment at a local level. I am committed to using the Local Investment Plan to focus on outcomes for communities so that we can fashion services around people, whilst balancing financial realities with aspirations. I was born and bred in Doncaster and believe we have what it takes to be the number one borough in the North of England. This Local Investment Plan sends a strong message that Doncaster is open for business. Peter Davies, Mayor of Doncaster 4 Executive Summary Vision Doncaster aims to be one of the most successful areas in England by being a gateway to opportunity. A strong economy will support progressive, healthy, safe and vibrant communities. With the right investment Doncaster will be a place where residents feel valued and achieve their full potential in all areas of life. Doncaster’s Local Investment Plan (LIP) ties together seven important themes that are crucial to the continued development of the borough. Strong and inclusive economy Creating a strong economy in which everyone plays their part is fundamental to the development of Doncaster and central to the success of the other six themes. The council and its partners are already ahead in becoming more open and forward thinking by tapping into regional assets. They are also building effective relationships and economic connections with other towns and cities to benefit Doncaster’s economy. The borough’s economy will be improved by becoming more varied, growing existing businesses and attracting new investors, encouraging an enterprising culture and giving local people the skills to secure good jobs. Delivering major infrastructure projects such as the White Rose Way Improvement Scheme and the Finningley and Rossington Regeneration Route Scheme will further widen the Borough’s and the Sheffield City Region’s advantages. Doncaster already has a tremendous community spirit and people have a real connection with their neighbourhoods. The borough has a number of very different communities across a mixture of urban and rural areas with huge variations in wealth, living standards and attainment. Improvements are already underway however much more can be achieved by increasing satisfaction and pride in Doncaster as a place to live and do business, engaging residents in local democracy and taking ownership of local services. Quality housing Doncaster has a diverse housing stock and the need for new housing remains high. Increasing and improving the range and quality of housing in Doncaster is central to improving communities. Better quality, better places and better choice are the driving forces behind the changes needed within housing in Doncaster. The council and its partners recognise that in order to attract people to live, work and visit the borough improving the economy requires the creation of good quality new and existing housing, specifically affordable homes. This is also crucial to attracting new investment into Doncaster’s communities. Sustainable improvement A strong leadership team exists in Doncaster and real sustainable improvement and change is beginning to take shape. The children in Doncaster deserve the best life chances possible and improvements in education and investment to increase the number of young people in education, employment or training with the relevant skills to meet the needs of the local economy will bring long term continued growth to Doncaster. Giving children the best start in life and increasing their aspirations is crucial, however there must also be help available for them as they get older. Improving health and providing the support to encouraging independent lives is a key theme in this investment plan. The health of

Description 1.1 Within Doncaster, the River Don is the main large river, but its tributaries and other rivers such as the Idle, Torne, and Went are also important. The course of the Don contains a number of oxbows, now cut off from the river and there are several important subsidence flashes formed as a result of mining and river engineering. This Habitat Action Plan includes rivers, oxbows and subsidence flashes and, due to the close links between the navigation system and the river, the Habitat Action Plan also covers canals as a slow- flowing riparian environment. 1.2 Flowing water habitats and associated floodplain wetlands include aquatic habitats ranging from swiftly flowing rivers to slow, sluggish canals.

To significantly increase the number of X-rays undertaken in the Doncaster area by 20% at the end of the campaign. In order to diagnose lung cancer earlier and thereby contribute to a reduction in inequalities in lung cancer mortality Design: Social Marketing campaign based on a public awareness campaign that will focus on raising awareness of the symptoms of lung cancer and the benefits of early detection – Customer ‘Push’ and preparing health care professionals for the initiative in terms of sharing insights, training and capacity management in GP surgeries – Service ‘Pull’ Setting: Six priority communities in Doncaster, United Kingdom. Participants: 17,837 people living within the priority communities and 11 General Practices, March to April 2008. Main outcome measures: Raised public awareness and intention, number of chest x ray referrals and stage of lung cancer diagnosis.
