Doncaster Free Press Daily Bulletin with Stephanie Bateman - Friday July 5, 2024

Transcript

00:00Good morning, it's Steph at the Doncaster Free Press and it's Friday, July the 5th.

00:07Most of you will be waking up to some rather remarkable news this morning.

00:12There has been a complete Labour whitewash in yesterday's general election.

00:18Myself, my colleague Darren and local democracy reporter Shannon have been keeping tabs on what's going on.

00:25Shannon's been down at the racecourse at the Count keeping an eye on everyone.

00:31We'll be bringing some videos and reports from that throughout today.

00:37The actual results for Doncaster are all up on the website now.

00:42There's been two Labour holds and the new boundary of Doncaster East and the Isle of Axholme,

00:49which was served by MP Nick Fletcher, has now been taken over.

00:54It's a Labour gain for Leigh Pitcher.

00:58So, yeah, all change. It's completely Labour dominated in South Yorkshire, across the board actually.

01:07So that's the main story coming to you this morning.

01:10Just a couple of other things that should be mentioned, politics aside.

01:17We put out some information that French Gates, who obviously have just been bought out,

01:22which we announced at the beginning of the week, are welcoming three new stores into the shopping centre, which is great news.

01:34And also we had a warrant. We looked into a warrant that was being carried out.

01:41Again, on the clearance day, there's been a lot of problems over the last week or so.

01:46The police eventually came back to us and said the property that was raided, they actually found two firearms in there.

01:55We'll give you more of an update if that is forthcoming from the police.

02:00So for those stories, and like I say, everything election related, that Shannon will be putting out.

02:08Once she's had a little bit of a sleep, I would think, which is what I'm planning on doing,

02:12then visit www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk and also visit Facebook and X.

02:20And I hope you have a lovely Friday and a great weekend.
