Wroot Parish Council

This morning I was called to the park to remove this from the swings. I am assuming it has been made as a foot swing, rather than anything more sinister, however it is extremely dangerous regardless.
Could parents, carers please speak to their young people to ask if they know anything about this and clearly point out the dangers here.
Thank you to the kind lady who phoned me to make me aware of it, and your help cutting it down with me was most appreciated.

Since the lorry park began operating from premises on Wroot Road before the junction onto Bank End Road the PC have been in contact with Finningley Parish Council, Doncaster City Council and Lee Pitcher on numerous occasions to raise residents concerns regarding road safety at the location.

As a result of this, Doncaster City Council contacted the owners in July 2025 and issued them with notice to cease storage use and remove trailers within 28 days. Doncaster City Council have also refused a retrospective planning application for the site.
Despite this, the issues continue.

The Parish Council needs to hear of residents views on this matter and would be grateful if anyone with concerns could email the Clerk with their observations. This will help us when we are in contact with the aforementioned parties to demonstrate the level of concern, and by doing so, you agree to your correspondence being used for such purposes. You may request that your personal details be withheld if preferred. You may also report issues via Doncaster City Councils website (linked below).

Alternatively, please send emails to The Clerk, at:

A fabulous turn out for Wroot Rememberance Service this weekend.

The amount of £271.23 was collected on the day and this will be sent to The Royal British Legion, thank you to all who donated so generously.

Huge thanks to Cllr Sharon Matchett for organising so well as always.

Also thanks to the many contributors of poppies for the beautiful display. It truly looks amazing.

To the residents who cleaned the memorial, a brilliant job done and this too looks fabulous, thank you for the time taken and funding the cleaning materials required to do it.

Thanks to the trumpet player, poem reader, standard bearer and traffic controllers.

I hope I haven’t missed anyone, but all those who contributed should be very proud, as usual the turn out was fantastic and the Parish Council thank everyone who contributed, all who attended and donated to The Royal British Legion.

An excellent attendance at Wroot Remembrance Service this morning . Thanks to all who made it the special occasion it deserves to be .
