General Election - less than two weeks away
With less than two weeks until the general election, you may be confused about which constituency you’re voting in on July 4.
Last year, a review was undertaken by the Boundary Commission for England, which means there are now new Parliamentary constituency boundaries.
You can find further details of which constituency your area falls here:

Bentley resident's smoke-free journey used in South Yorkshire campaign
After smoking for quite some time Jayde, from Bentley, decided to stop smoking after a close family member fell ill.
With the support of her family and her local stop smoking services, Jayde was able to stop smoking for the benefit of her own mental and physical health.
To find out more about the free local support available, you can visit the Smokefree Starts website [

The People’s Palace of Possibility comes to Doncaster
* *When: 28 June – 14 July 2024, Wednesday – Sunday, 11am – 4pm*
* *Where:* *Danum Gallery, Library and Museum*
The People’s Palace of Possibility is an outdoor installation which asks how we find energy for change, despite our fear and anger about the future. It is a place for connection and solidarity: sitting down and sharing a cuppa with a stranger, listening to a talk, taking part in a workshop, feasting together and imagining alternative futures.

*Want to make your voice heard when it comes to bin collections?*
Over the past few months we’ve been reminding people what goes in what bin when it comes to recycling in Doncaster. We’ve received lots of comments on the way we collect your recycling at the kerbside.
We’d like to know more about what you think of the waste and recycling service provided in Doncaster and whether or not you would welcome any changes to the way we collect recyclable materials from you.
Please take our short survey and your feedback will help us when designing the way we collect your waste in the future.

Euro 2024: Domestic Abuse Awareness
You might think you’re a big football fan, but victims of domestic abuse are some of the biggest England supporters.
Research from the 2022 World Cup saw that reports of domestic abuse can rise up to 38% when the England Men's team play.
If you’re concerned about your safety, call 101 or in an emergency ALWAYS call 999.
