Work on Westgate Chambers will continue as two buildings on Domine Lane will be demolished in March 2020 to make way for 32 new apartments.

Space for integral balconies or roof terraces will also be built, as well as retail space on the ground floor. The existing courtyard entrance will be moved.

The two buildings scheduled to be demolished are both in a derelict state.

Subject to Rotherham Council approval, Domine Lane will be closed for up to two weeks in mid-March for the demolition to take place. Pedestrians will still be able to walk to town on Market Street or via Main Street.
