and live on Freeview channel 276
The town’s green spaces are expected to be busier than normal with people allowed to meet in groups again outdoors, coupled with a spell of warm weather.
A Doncaster Council spokesman said: “We want everyone to enjoy the Easter holidays responsibly and safely. This includes washing hands, covering faces, making spaces and taking your litter with you.

“We've got a list of all our parks and green spaces across the borough. Your nearest one might be closer - and quieter - than you think.”
Under yesterday’s changes, outdoor gatherings (including in private gardens) of either six people (the Rule of 6) OR two households are allowed.
Outdoor sports facilities such as tennis and basketball courts, have reopened, and people can take part in formally organised outdoor sports.

A spokesman added: “Make sure we stick to social distancing - even when visiting friends and family in private gardens
“Carrying on with these things will help us keep our numbers low, and mean that we can continue on the roadmap out of lockdown and back to normality. Let's do it for Doncaster!”
