Just read an interesting article about the vision of South Yorkshire 2006-2021
http://www.yhassembly.gov.uk/p_contentDocs/415_1.pdf
It looks pretty promising:
“Sheffield becoming the core city of a balanced and sustainable high growth economy in South Yorkshire by 2010, recognised as a growing European centre for high technology manufacturing and knowledge base services, and offering opportunities for the whole community.”
It later goes on to describe Shefiield as being on par with other leading cities in Europe.
Doncaster is seen as a sub-regional city and "potentially the most important logistical interchange in Yorkshire and the Humber, and in the northern East Midlands"
Rotherham's economy will benefit from the planned growth in both Sheffield and Doncaster, but Rotherham will maintain and enhance its distinct identity..."
It sees Barnsley as a major market town, but will benefit further with the re-introduction of the Barnsley-Doncaster rail link.
However, it suggests of a Sheffield<>Rotherham<>Doncaster corridor and feels Barnsley may be assimilated into the Leeds/West Yorkshire expansion. I hope not.
