Although Doncaster is surrounded by Labour-voting, former coalmining communities, the town itself is more mixed. It is a major shopping centre with a mixed industrial base, a famous racecourse, and a history that can be traced back to Roman times. Unfortunately for the Conservatives, the constituency boundaries of Doncaster Central are drawn in such a way as to exclude some of the town's best suburbs but include the mining village of Armthorpe to the east. The effect is to create an essentially safe Labour seat.
