Doncaster Central is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament since 2024 by Sally Jameson of the Labour Party.
Constituency profile
The Doncaster Central constituency is located in South Yorkshire within the City of Doncaster borough. It covers most of the city of Doncaster—including the city centre and the neighbourhoods of Balby, Intake, Armthorpe, Edenthorpe and part of Bessacarr—and a rural area to the south of the city stretching to the small market town of Tickhill. Doncaster was traditionally an important railway town and coal mining area. High levels of deprivation are present in most of the city, whilst Bessacarr and Tickhill are wealthier. Average house prices are lower than the rest of Yorkshire and considerably lower than the national average.
In general, residents of Doncaster Central have low household incomes and low levels of education and professional employment compared to nationwide averages. At the 2021 census, White people made up 88% of the population.
:Minor changes to reflect revised ward boundaries, including the gain from Don Valley of Tickhill and Wadworth in the south, and the transfer to Doncaster North of Barnby Dun in the north.
