Doncaster has been granted city status as part of the Queens Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Mayor Ros Jones said: "To become one of the UK's newest cities underlines our firmly held belief that we think, act and feel like a city. I've said for a long time that we are a city in all but name and now we can proudly say that Doncaster has achieved city status.

Dan Fell, chief executive of Doncaster Chamber, added: "With both Doncaster and Sheffield, the South Yorkshire region is now home to two cities

"I am looking forward to an even more prosperous future for South Yorkshire now. We're going to see huge reputational and economic benefits from this, attracting more businesses and skilled workers into the area."

What will this mean for property prices and the private rented sector going forward for Doncaster?

Who knows, but one thing we are sure of is that A Star Property Group have proudly backed Doncaster's private rented sector by providing housing to tenants for the last thirty years and will be doing so thirty years into the future!
