We are delighted to announce we are one of the founding members of the #EuropeanSuperLeague of Councils.

We have signed up alongside Barcelona Council, Milan Council and Handforth Parish Council to this elite group.
We will compete against these elite authorities in several council-based fixtures for a chance at the grand prize: a state-of-the-art Highways line-painting machine.

We remain fully committed to our domestic duties in South Yorkshire, but are excited for this new future.
We are delighted to announce we are the first Authority to quit the #SuperLeague of Councils.

It was a stupid idea that we never supported in the first place.

Best of luck to Milan, Barcelona and Handforth Parish Councils as they battle for the Highways line-painting machine.

80 years ago, one man’s single trip to the toilet led to the capture and imprisonment of 36 people.

We think there’s something we can all learn from this story.
Now, in Doncaster, we know a thing or two about this subject.

No crass jokes though, please – we are talking about the fact that the inventor of the flushing toilet, Thomas Crapper, hails from our fair borough.
The people involved in this story could have benefited from Crapper’s command of the commode, as a seemingly innocuous trip to the lavatory led to a disastrous turn of events.

Hello you.

Yes, you!

Do you know what you remind us of?

This creature, called a Tardigrade.
Now, if you judge the Tardigrade purely by its appearance, you might not be thrilled with the comparison.

Don’t worry, there’s only a PASSING physical resemblance between you two.
No, the reason you remind us of these little guys is because they are commonly known as one of the toughest creatures on the entire planet.

After his wife passed away, this man single-handedly carved a tunnel through a mountain.

We think we can all learn something from his incredible story.

It’s time for another #coronavirus-related history lesson from Doncaster Council.
This amazing person was called Dasrath Manjhi.

Born in India, he was a labourer from the village of Gehlaur.
In 1959, Manjhi's wife Falguni Devi was injured after falling from a narrow ridge on a nearby mountain, trying to cross to the next village.

The mountain divided the two areas and meant that the nearest doctor was 55km away. She sadly died before Dasrath could get her there.

We feel like people could do with some good news to focus on this week, so what INCREDIBLE timing that today is #NationalSandwichDay.

Did you know about Doncaster Council’s little-known, incredible connection with the sandwich, though? Let us tell you more.
Can ANYONE honestly say they don’t love the humble sandwich? Whether meaty, fishy, cheesy or salad…y, you simply can’t go wrong.

Well, we're betting not many of you know that people across the world have Doncaster Council to thank in part for the creation of this staple dish.
Sadly, since the influx of Instagram influencers has made everyone TERRIFIED of carbohydrates, the sandwich has suffered a bit of a PR problem.

After today's #Woolworths drama, we have decided to capitalise on this wave of 90's nostalgia by announcing that we are bringing back Gladiators.

Doncaster will see events such as Hang Tough, Vertigo and Powerball, culminating in a gruelling Eliminator at the Mansion House.
(The UK media picked up on the unsubstantiated @UKWoolworths announcement today, so we're hoping they'll do the same here.

That way, we can trick them in to covering the actual stuff we want them to ⬇️)
As we prepare for the glorious return of Gladiators (sorting out Saracen's contract has taken a lot longer than expected) then why don't we, ohhh, I dunno...

Think about some of the ways to spend half term around Doncaster?

In 2017, a man running the London marathon showed some of the most incredible sportsmanship ever.

We think it’s a story we all need to hear, as we wait for today’s announcements about #coronavirus restrictions.
It was April 2017 when runner David Wyeth was running the London marathon.

Just 300 metres from the end, his race was run. His legs had turned to jelly, and he was at the point of collapse.
After 26 miles of gruelling effort, he had longed to see the finish line – but, having turned the final corner, the sight of the last 300m seemed too much to bear.
