Details of a city centre demonstration ahead of a crucial meeting on the future of Doncaster Sheffield Airport have been announced - wth supporters urged to attend.

Protesters are being urged to gather outside the Civic Offices in Sir Nigel Gresley Square from 9am on May 11 - the date an extraordinary meeting has been called by Reform UK to take a fresh vote on a £57 million loan to fund the re-opening of DSA.

Councillors previously agreed to the deal in November, but Reform UK say they now want to take a fresh look at the deal and say there is “no blank cheque” for re-opening the airport.

Labour and Doncaster mayor Ros Jones have said that if the funding doesn’t go ahead, it will “kill” the project.

The TUC, Unite and GMB have organised the protest rally.

It comes after a similar demo outside the airport last month.

Save DSA campaigner Mark Chadwick said: “Let;s all show a united front.

“Forget whatever politics we as individuals support. Let’s have an airport.”

Union campaigners say the rally is aimed at urging City of Doncaster Council to support the reopening of Doncaster Sheffield Airport, which they argue is vital for safeguarding employment opportunities and boosting the region’s economy.

Organisers have called on residents to “stand up for jobs, growth and our region’s future,” saying reopening the airport will help create and protect skilled jobs while strengthening transport links and attracting investment to South Yorkshire and surrounding areas.
