Sustrans, the charity making it easier to walk, wheel, and cycle, has partnered with Doncaster Council to launch a new volunteer group on the Trans Pennine Trail.

The group will look after the section from Sprotbrough Road/Melton Road to York Road. Tasks will include litter picking, creating wildflower areas, and vegetation management. The task days will take place monthly.

The section of the Trans Pennine Trail between Sprotbrough Road and York Road is being improved. There will be a new smooth surface laid. There will also be access improvements made to enable everyone to use this section of trail, whether they are using a mobility scooter or adapted bike, pushing a pram, or riding a horse. Funding for the improvements has been secured by Sustrans and Doncaster Council. For more information about the plans, click here.
