00:00Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press and it's Thursday, January 30th.
00:04Just bringing you some of our headlines today.
00:06First of all, just a nod to our sports journalist, Ricky Charles,
00:10because he's done a grand job covering last night's terrific win for Doncaster away at Barrow.
00:17It's actually the top of our chart for people reading the story.
00:21And we've also got some player ratings on there as well, so thanks for that, Ricky.
00:27Ben, we had an awful lot yesterday in response to Rachel Reeves' announcement in Parliament
00:34about the support for Doncaster Sheffield Airport.
00:36We've got South Yorkshire Mayor Oliver Coppard commenting,
00:40we've got Doncaster Mayor Ros Jones.
00:42I'm going to be sending out very shortly some feedback from the South Yorkshire Chambers as well.
00:49That'll be going up and about within the next hour.
00:53So what else have we got?
00:54Yes, a really nice story that's going to come out again.
00:58I'll be doing that first thing when I've come off this video call.
01:02Doncaster has given permission for UK's largest battery storage project.
01:09It's said to be able to power 800,000 homes during our peak hours of electricity demand.
01:21So that's quite a coup for the area.
01:23And like I said, that's going to be going out very shortly for you to have a read.
01:27So for those stories and for anything else that's happening today,
