The Duftons Close Feasibility Study in Conisbrough will receive £50,000 while the Flood Risk Management Scheme in Intake will also receive a currently undisclosed amount.

Both areas were affected by flooding in 2019 when the banks of the River Don broke, displacing many across Doncaster.

Nick Fletcher, MP for Don Valley, said:

The MP said on Twitter: “CONISBROUGH Another success to report! @pow_rebecca and Government have listened and we have secured £50,000 for Duftons Close. I’m on it. Nick. #doncasterisgreat #stronglocaleconomy https://t.co/87IlXXHHIl” / Twitter
