Doncaster is set for a 900 strong jobs boost following the approval of a £984 million gas power station. Another important decision for the people of Doncaster that English Democrat Mayor Peter Davies has backed! The gas plant at Thorpe Marsh is expected to create around 800 construction jobs, and then provide work for around 100 permanent staff when it comes into operation. The plans will see the six famous cooling towers, visible from the M18 and the South Yorkshire Navigation canal, demolished as part of the construction. Planning permission has also been submitted for a £35 million scheme to transform a town centre wasteland into a thriving business hub could that could create 650 new jobs if it is approved. Proposals include new business units and shops - including a food superstore - new premises for existing businesses and 870 parking spaces in the Marshgate area between the old North Bridge and HMP Doncaster. The site, formerly owned by Dixons Motors, is owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland, which took over Dixons in 2002. A council spokesman confirmed West Register Property, which is acting on behalf of RBS, submitted the application and a decision is expected in the new year. Speaking about the power station approval Peter Davies, Mayor of Doncaster, said: "I am delighted to see Thorpe Marsh power station receiving approval, we will now be working hard to promote jobs and opportunities for local people." This is just another example of the good work that Peter has done for Doncaster, proving that electing an English Democrat really does get things done!
