How schemes in Askern get decided.
One council for planning and highways
City of Doncaster Council handles both the planning application and the highways response, so we talk to its highways team early and give the case officer a clear answer. Bus services and wider transport plans are shaped by South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, and good evidence reflects that.
What shapes schemes in Askern
A former colliery town on the A19 north of Doncaster, with no railway station and rural roads all around. Lanes without footways, visibility at the access and how far it is to shops, schools and a bus stop are usually the deciding issues.
Roads, rail and buses
The main roads are the A19. There’s no railway station, so bus services and safe walking and cycling routes carry more weight.
