Gloves are off in battle to be new mayor
THE battle to become Doncaster's next elected mayor has kicked off with candidates locking horns for the first time in public.
Doncaster Chamber of Commerce organised a public question time for the borough's business bosses to quiz candidates on their proposals.
The event at Hill House School, Finningley, was attended by Peter Davies, English Democrats; Michael Felse, independent; and councillors Mick Maye, independent, and Jonathan Wood, Conservative.
Labour's Sandra Holland, British National Party representative Dave Owen, and current deputy mayor, Coun Stuart Exelby, Community Group, were unable to attend.
The four candidates were each given 90 seconds to answer a series of probing questions from the invited audience of business people on issues including public transport, local funding and education.
