If I was responsible for economic development in Doncaster I'd be approaching Londan/SE based businesses who don't necessarily need to be based there and showing them how mucj they can save in terms of property, wages, tax (if applicable - any breaks for investing in "deprived" areas).
Reading that quote from my post has just made me notice the typos so srory for not correcting them before posting!It's a tough one really. Doncaster's location and transport links are big plusses versus many other similar towns (Middlesboro, Darlo, Burnley etc.) We also have plenty of good spec empty warehousing around Carr Hill and decent brownfield sites around Wheatley Hall Rd and the like. The lack of a ring road is a negative but that wouldn't affect Carr Hill.I'm not suggesting that there aren't people working hard at the Sheffield region LEP but I'd be intrigued to see what their short, medium and long-term strategies are.

Random b*llocks.
