00:07Just bringing you some of our headlines this morning. Good news all around,
00:11I'm bringing you three stories that are nice stories. Doncaster Council's Children's Homes
00:17are celebrating their third outstanding rating from Ofsted in recent months. Pinewood Avenue
00:24and Cromwell Drive Children's Homes have joined Amersol Road in achieving the top rating.
00:31That's all on the website this morning, I sent that out late yesterday, so that's some great
00:38news. Have a read of that and see what you think. Then some news I'm going to be sending out this
00:45morning, it came in late yesterday. Crufts has been going on, if you're a dog lover like I am.
00:51We've got a couple of winners that have come forward, one a vesting breed amongst others,
00:57so that's absolutely wonderful news. It's a great show to watch, absolutely fantastic
01:04and well done to those that have achieved some awards. And then finally a bus company that set
01:10up a special service to support students after their college minibus was stolen has decided to
01:17make the route permanent. It's the first bus that has introduced a service, it's free of charge
01:22for students at Harrison College. They're collecting them from Doncaster Interchange
01:27in the morning and returning them after school. They had started this before Christmas,
01:33it was part of a huge community effort to support the college which has autistic and SEND pupils
01:41after the theft of three minibuses in a night time raid. They were stolen from a compound there,
01:47so that's fantastic news, well done First Buses for doing that. So for those three stories and
