Decision details

The Tour of Britain is a multi-stage cycling race, conducted on British roads, in which participants race across Great Britain to complete the race in the fastest time.
South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA) have agreed to host a stage of the Men’s 2024 Tour of Britain.
This will be in collaboration with all four South Yorkshire Local Authority districts with the event taking place on Thursday 5th September 2024 with a planned route of starting in Sheffield, passing into Rotherham, Doncaster and then finishing in Barnsley.
SYMCA have agreed to pay the hosting right fee to host the event with British Cycling but all operational costs for the event are to be covered by all four Local Authorities.
The £30k maximum budget will be used for traffic management fees, operational management costs, stewarding and communications.
City of Doncaster are currently finalising plans with SYMCA and British Cycling, and therefore unable to give an actual working budget required.
Due to our history and experience of hosting major cycling events, we have based our estimate of cost on this experience and a £30k budget would be required.
The cost is based on the complexity of a route that enters the borough via Tickhill and then passes through the following communities of Wadworth, Conisbrough, Denaby, Cadeby, Scawsby, Brodsworth, Hooton Pagnell before leaving the borough via Clayton.
Due to tight timescales of Doncaster being informed and chosen as a host city, this ODR is an indicative working budget to allow approval to minimise delays moving forward. Upon receipt of the contractual agreements for City of Doncaster Council, we will then have more clarity on all parties roles and responsibilities for the event.
If the £40k working budget is rejected, Doncaster wouldn’t be able to host the event in the borough.

To allocate a maximum of budget £30k to manage and operationally coordinate the Doncaster’s Stage of the Tour of Britain on the 5th September 2024.
