There will be no public parking on Forge Island whilst the car boot sale takes place.

“It’s a fantastic way to see how Forge Island and the wider town centre will be used in more diverse ways as the Masterplan plan takes shape, moving towards having more people living, socialising and working in the town centre. 

“It’s a great opportunity to ignite a new era for Rotherham town centre on a Sunday.”
