Mihai Melenciuc is the Liberal Democrat Candidate for Doncaster Mayor
The Doncaster Liberal Democrats are proud to announce Mihai Melenciuc as our candidate for Mayor of Doncaster in the upcoming election on the 1st of May. Mihai is ready to bring fresh energy, bold ideas, and real change to our city, offering a clear alternative to the tired Labour Party.
One of Mihai’s top priorities will be fighting to improve local NHS services and ensuring better access to NHS dentists. Too many people in Doncaster are struggling to get the healthcare they need, and Mihai is committed to tackling this crisis head-on, ensuring fair and timely access to essential services for everyone.
The Liberal Democrats are also demanding urgent action on the cost-of-living crisis, calling for measures to make energy bills cheaper and tackle rising food prices. Families across Doncaster are feeling the squeeze, and the Liberal Democrats are fighting to ensure that hardworking families get the support they deserve.
Another key priority for Mihai and the local Liberal Democrat team is to reopen Doncaster Sheffield Airport as soon as possible. The closure of the airport was a failure of both Labour and Conservative politicians who abandoned our area. Mihai is determined to see it brought back into operation, boosting jobs, connectivity, and economic growth for the region.
For too long, Labour has taken Doncaster for granted. Meanwhile, the Conservative Party is in electoral freefall after losing a huge number of MPs at the last General Election, with many of them being replaced by a record number of Liberal Democrats in Parliament.
Keir Starmer’s government is failing to stand up for local communities and it’s time to send them a message: Doncaster deserves better. Labour’s lack of vision and complacency has left residents frustrated with stagnation, poor public services, and politicians who don't listen to local residents.
Mihai Melenciuc offers something different. His campaign is built on a positive vision for Doncaster—one that prioritizes real investment in communities, better local services, and a council that puts people first. The Liberal Democrats believe in a forward-thinking, transparent, and accountable leadership that works for all of Doncaster, not just the few.
Mihai’s plan will focus on:
✅ Strengthening local businesses to create good jobs and a thriving economy
✅ Investing in public services to improve transport, education, and healthcare access
✅ A cleaner, greener Doncaster, making our streets and parks safer and more pleasant
✅ A people-first approach, ensuring Doncaster’s leadership listens and acts on residents’ concerns
“The people of Doncaster are ready for a change,” Mihai said. “Labour has let us down, and the Conservatives are out of ideas. I’m standing to give Doncaster a real choice — a Mayor who will care, listen, and deliver.”
Mihai lives locally, has two young children, and has previously served as a school governor. He understands the challenges facing families in Doncaster and is dedicated to delivering a better future for our city.
This election is a chance to break away from Labour’s complacency and build a Doncaster that works for everyone. It’s time for a new direction—one that puts people and progress first.
Vote Mihai Melenciuc for Mayor of Doncaster. Vote for real change.
