Doncaster daily bulletin July 29: Stephanie Bateman with the headlines

Transcript

00:00Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press and it's Monday July the 29th,

00:04just bringing you some of our headlines this morning. A rather warm morning, I hope you've

00:09already had a nice weekend, we've certainly got out and about, enjoyed the sunshine. It's set to

00:15be a bit of a scorcher again today and tomorrow, so make the most of it while you can, but obviously

00:20take care, get that factor 50 on. Anyway, into the news, we put a story out over the weekend

00:28regarding a serious incident that happened in Doncaster city centre at the beginning of the

00:34weekend. A man has since appeared in court charged with attempted murder, four counts of possession

00:44of an offensive weapon and assault. The incident happened at the Angel and Royal on Cleveland

00:50Street just before half past 10 on Friday. We are led to believe that a member of the door staff

00:58was the one that was attacked and hospitalised. We'll obviously bring you more of that as the

01:04case goes through the criminal justice system. So that is that one, then what else have we got for

01:11you? One from Shannon, a local democracy reporter. Plans have been submitted for 15 affordable homes

01:19on the site of a former working men's club. Some say there are too many houses being built,

01:24others say there's a need for some more. So you can have a read about that,

01:30see what you think. You can obviously make some comments if you wish. Then finally,

01:36we have a Doncaster care home, quite a nice one. They've been enjoying the summer by holding a

01:43safari-themed party. Some lovely, lovely pictures there of them having a good time,

01:50just to lighten the mood after what seems to have been quite an unpleasant weekend for some.

01:58So for those three stories and for anything else that's happening in Doncaster,

02:02you know where to go. It's www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk

02:06and of course Facebook and X. And I hope you have a safe and relaxing Monday.
