Doncaster District

SM Shaun Pilley

Our district manager for Doncaster is Group Manager Shaun Pilley.

Doncaster is a large town and the principal settlement of the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster. Doncaster has an international airport, and in recent years its centre has undergone regeneration including the development of an Education City campus, currently the largest education investment of its kind in the UK. Doncaster has also recently extended the Frenchgate Centre, a shopping centre and transport interchange.

Doncaster is a truly unique town - a cocktail of urban and rural where the delights of a modern bustling town centre are complemented by picturesque villages, historic market towns and unspoilt countryside.

According to the 2001 census, the urban sub-area of Doncaster had a population of 67,977 — together with Bentley and Armthorpe it forms an urban area with a population of 127,851. The wider metropolitan borough has a population of around 286,866.

Doncaster is covered by the following Fire stations:

  • Adwick-le-street
  • Askern
  • Doncaster
  • Edlington
  • Mexborough (closing 2010)

We are part of the Discover the Spirit partnership, which works together for the benefit of Doncaster.
