Dear South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority,

Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, I am writing to make
a formal request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for the
following information. regarding Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA).

Since the closure of Doncaster Sheffield Airport (DSA) in November 2022,
has Doncaster Council or its Mayor, Ros Jones, formally requested
financial assistance or shared financial responsibility for the airport’s
reopening from:
a) South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority?
b) Other local authorities within South Yorkshire or neighbouring regions?
[to be clear, this is not related to Doncaster’s share of its own
Gainshare funding but for a contribution from the Combined Authority
and/or other neighbouring councils]

I would like to know if Doncaster Council or its representatives including
the Mayor of Doncaster Ros Jones have approached or requested any
financial contributions or funding from other local authorities within
neighbouring South Yorkshire, including SYMCA, for the reinstatement of
the airport.
Specifically, I am interested in any correspondence, meetings, or
discussions where Doncaster Council may have sought financial support or
contributions for Doncaster Sheffield Airport from the South Yorkshire
Mayoral Combined Authority.
If such request exist, please provide
a) Details of the nature of the assistance sought (e.g., direct funding,
loans, resource sharing).
b) Copies of correspondence (emails, letters, meeting minutes) related to
these requests, or any formal documents relating to this matter.
c) Records of responses from Sheffield City Council or other authorities.

Thank you for your assistance.

Yours sincerely,

Wai M Yau
