City of Doncaster Council prosecuted a resident of Ramsden Road in Hexthorpe, for fly-tipping and repeatedly allowing waste to build up in his rear garden.
The man first came to the attention of the council’s environmental enforcement team when they received complaints about a large amount of rubbish accumulating in an alleyway near his then-home address.
Searching through the physical evidence, and examining CCTV footage to catch him in the act of fly-tipping, they were soon able to identify the
resident as the person responsible.
The following month, the man found himself at the centre of yet another investigation when officers noticed a significant buildup of household and food waste in his rear garden. He was then given an opportunity to clear this up but neglected to do so within the allotted timeframe.
This turned out to be the first of two separate offences of this kind from the man, as the situation repeated itself less than a year later, when waste was once again discovered building up at the back of
his property. The waste was cleared up by the council and a prosecution was then brought against the man.
Speaking about this, Glyn Jones, Deputy Mayor said:
“These environmental offences are unacceptable, and we have absolutely zero tolerance for them here in Doncaster.
The illegal dumping of rubbish anywhere in our communities, even by allowing waste to build up in your own garden, has a negative impact on others, causes harm to the environment, and can attract vermin like mice and rats. That is why our
dedicated environmental enforcement officers take these cases so seriously and, as this recent case shows, will catch those responsible. Residents can help us look after their local neighborhoods and crack down on those who aim to spoil them, by reporting any cases of unsightly fly-tipping or illegally dumped waste through to the council. The information you share here is invaluable and helps ensure that appropriate action is taken.”
Residents can report fly-tipping — as well as other instances of crime
or antisocial behaviour — straight to the council by either filling out the appropriate form online or by calling 01302 736000.
The council’s dedicated fly-tipping webpage also signposts residents to other useful information, including details on local Household Waste Recycling Centres and guidance on how you can dispose of your waste responsibly. Additionally, you can use it to check that a business is officially registered as a waste carrier and to arrange for the collection of bulky items.

candlelighters at fifty
Candlelighters, the leading charity supporting children with cancer across Yorkshire, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary with a fundraising campaign.
Since its inception in 1976, the charity has been a beacon of hope for thousands of families, and is now calling on the public to take on a “50-themed” challenge, to ensure no family faces childhood cancer alone.
CEO Emily Wragg says: “When Candlelighters was founded 50 years ago, the landscape of childhood cancer was starkly different. Treatments were limited, specialist roles were non-existent, and families often faced the trauma of a diagnosis in isolation.
Today, thanks to a halfcentury of relentless community support, care has been transformed through life-changing research, specialist medical roles, and holistic family support.”
A challenge for every supporter.
The new campaign invites supporters to “Pick Your 50.” Whether it’s climbing 50 hills, performing 50 keepyuppies in the garden, baking 50 cupcakes, or walking 50 miles, the charity is encouraging participants to get creative. The goal is to turn individual milestones into collective impact.
Emily says: “Reaching our 50th anniversary is a testament to the incredible spirit of the Yorkshire community.
Since 1976, we have worked tirelessly to transform the standard of care for children and young people. However, while medical outcomes have improved, the journey remains incredibly difficult for families. We are asking everyone to take on their own ‘50’ challenge this year. Whether your goal is big or small, serious or silly, every penny raised helps us provide the comfort and specialist care that transforms lives. We’ve come so far in 50 years, but our mission won’t be over until children and young people can face cancer with the full support they deserve.” The impact of support.
Joining the fundraising is simple. Supporters are encouraged to: 1. Pick your 50: choose a challenge that suits your lifestyle.
2. Create your page: set up a fundraising profile to collect digital donations.
3. Spread the word: share your progress on social media to inspire others. Emily encourages everyone to take action: “Take the first step today. To receive your free Fundraising Pack, featuring tips, tricks, and resources to kickstart your 50th-anniversary challenge, enrol now at www.candlelighters. org.uk/challenge-50 or contact the fundraising team directly.” Supporters’ stories. Andrew Ferguson, from Beverley, now 42, was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at the age of three. Andrew says: “I began treatment immediately, undergoing chemotherapy and radiotherapy. During that time, my parents launched an appeal in my name to support Candlelighters. Thanks to incredible support from our local community, we raised over £6,500. Candlelighters were there for us when we needed it most, providing support, and even a short, funded holiday during an incredibly difficult period. Fast forward 39 years, and I’m now 42, healthy, and preparing to take on my third ultramarathon, in support of Candlelighters.
I’m preparing for my biggest challenge yet: the GB Ultras Pennine Barrier, which takes on the Yorkshire Three Peaks with an extra 25 miles. I’m doing this to raise £1,000 for Candlelighters by the end of 2026. Candlelighters means a huge amount to me. I know first-hand the difference they make to families facing childhood cancer. That’s what drives me through the toughest moments in training and racing. I’ve fully embraced the challenge (including pink running shoes and poles), and with several events still ahead this year, I’m aiming to finish with an 80-mile ultramarathon as a final push. I’m not the fastest, and I’ve never been the sportiest. But if I can do this, anyone can. Please support Candlelighters and help make a difference.”

pups help fitness!
Being a volunteer puppy socialiser for the national Support Dogs charity has helped Craig Hodgson to improve his fitness.
Depending on the age of the dog in their care, Craig and his wife, Carole, could walk for anything from 15 minutes to two hours daily.
“We could walk eightand-a-half miles no problem,” says Craig, who turns 68 this Saturday – which is also National Exercise Day. The day promotes the health benefits of regular physical activity, and serves as a reminder to prioritise wellbeing in our daily lives.
Retired sales manager Craig, and Carole, have looked after eight dogs for the Sheffield-based charity, which trains and provides specialist assistance dogs to help autistic children, as well as those living with epilepsy or a physical disability, to live safer, more independent lives.
In a recent survey of Support Dogs’ 200 volunteers, 89 percent said that since becoming a volunteer, they had become more physically active, and 78 percent felt they had more purpose and feel healthier.
Before volunteering for Support Dogs, Craig had kept fit through cycling, as two major knee operations meant he avoided walking for leisure. But with dog-walking, he has committed himself to getting out and about –and it has actually helped his knees to improve, and he finds that his knees no longer ache. “It’s certainly got me walking more,” said Craig. “I’d say 90 percent more. By building it up, it definitely helps my knees, whereas in the past, I would have been in agony.” Craig and Carole like to venture around their local area, as well as the town centre, where the pups get to experience various sights and sounds.They also like to explore the Peak District. “We are also meeting people while out and about, which is good for your mental health. It’s good for your heart, it’s good for your weight, it’s good for stress.

the first bioblitz!
The City Nature Challenge is the world’s largest Bioblitz; an annual global competition between more than 700 cities all over the world to see how many wild species their citizens can spot over the space of four days. This year’s challenge takes place between 24th and 27th April, and marks the first time Sheffield will be taking part. Any photos of wildlife spotted and recorded within the city boundaries during the challenge dates will count towards the city’s total and move Sheffield up the live global leader board.
As one of the UK’s greenest cities, Sheffield offers people a great chance to discover a rich variety of urban wildlife right on their doorstep. From foxes, bats, and hedgehogs emerging at dusk, to butterflies and bees drifting over wildflowers in the spring sunshine, there’s no shortage of wildlife to spot, even in the heart of built-up areas. Register your interest on Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust’s website to get notified when the challenge starts. Everyone who signs up will receive everything they need to take part, including a printable recording form, a guide to recording your sighting on the Nature Counts database, and access to free resources such as ID guides and spotter sheets. Nature lovers who sign up will also receive a ‘Magical Moths Guide’ produced by The Wildlife Trusts and RHS as part of their joint national ‘Wild About Gardens’ campaign to help identify moths and create outdoor spaces that will help them to thrive.
Elesha Searles, ofSheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust signed Sheffield up for the global challenge. She says: “The best thing about this challenge is that anyone in Sheffield can get involved - you don’t have to be an expert! You could sit in your garden, visit your local park or just notice what plants or animals you see on your walk to the local shop. All entries will be verified by our team of experts once submitted, so it doesn’t matter if you’re unsure of the species you’ve spotted.”
90 yr-old volunteers again
A 90-year-old woman from Doncaster has returned to her longstanding hospital volunteering role after a two-year break, supported by domiciliary care.
Coralie May is back at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, where she has given 34 years of service with the Royal Voluntary Service. She now volunteers every Friday morning from 9am to 12pm as a shop assistant, supporting staff, patients and visitors. Her return has been made possible by twice-daily support from carers at HICA at Home Doncaster, part of not-for-profit social care provider The HICA Group. The service has helped her regain confidence and independence following a period of illness.
Coralie said: “God has been good to me, so after a two-year break in my service due to illness I have gone back to work every Friday morning. I want to give something back after all these years. Volunteering has always meant a lot to me, and I missed seeing people and being part of things. Getting back has made a real difference to how I feel day to day. I love doing it and I really enjoy being there again.”
Domiciliary care enables people to receive support in their own homes, maintaining daily routines and connections within their communities.
In Coralie’s case, this has meant returning to a role she has held for more than three decades. She has received
20- and 30-year long service awards for her volunteering, including a medal presented by the Mayor of Sheffield. She has also attended a national commemoration at the Royal Albert Hall in the presence of Queen Camilla.
Gail Taylor, one of Coralie’s carers who works at HICA Homecare in Doncaster, said:
“It’s been important to support Coralie in a way that fits around her routine and what she wants to do. Our visits help with everyday tasks but also give reassurance so she feels confident in doing what she wants to do. Seeing her return to volunteering and enjoy it has been really rewarding.”
Regular home visits have provided practical and emotional support, helping Coralie rebuild her confidence and return to volunteering safely.
Nikki Lea, Manager at HICA Homecare in Doncaster, said:
“Domiciliary care plays an important role in helping older people remain active and connected to their communities.
Coralie’s return to volunteering shows how the right support at home can enable people to continue doing what matters to them.”
HICA Homecare in Doncaster provides care to people in their own homes across the local area, supporting independence and dayto-day wellbeing.
huge fines for flytipping
A company and its director have been given a month to clear an illegal waste site or risk further court action. They’ve also been ordered to pay fines and costs of more than £20,000 after an Environment Agency investigation into the operation in South Yorkshire.
Concept Investments Limited, of London Road, Sheffield, and its director, Austin Fitzgerald, 65, of the same address, both appeared at South Yorkshire Magistrates’ Court for sentencing on Wednesday 15 April. Both had previously pleaded guilty in February to allowing an illegal waste site to operate on land the company owns known as ‘the Former Stanley Works’, Rutland Road, Sheffield. The company was fined £8,000, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £2,000 and costs of £5,442, while Fitzgerald was sentenced to a 12month community order with 140 hours of unpaid work, and was ordered to pay costs of £5442 and a victim surcharge of £114. He must also clear the site by 18 May and if he fails to do this he will be brought back before the courts.
Ben Hocking, Area Environment Manager for the Environment Agency in Yorkshire, said: “It’s clear that Fitzgerald and the company were well aware of what was happening on that land, and they repeatedly ignored our requests to stop operations and clear the waste. Waste criminals damage our communities and we are cracking down across the sector on those flouting the regulations. This should serve as a warning for landowners that if you allow illegal waste

A selection of the services we provide:
Professional and sympathetic funeral arrangements in our office or in the comfort of your own home
activity to take place on your land we will take action.”
The court heard that Concept Investments is the landlord of the site, and allowed a waste site to operate without an environmental permit. The Environment Agency first visited the site on 7 July 2022 and found a large amount of mixed waste, including fridges and other electrical items and inert waste such as soil and stones. In a follow up visit later in the year, the Environment Agency told the occupier he could not store waste without a permit, and gave him six weeks to clear it. In January 2023, officers inspected the site and found none of the waste had been cleared, and in fact new waste had accumulated. The Agency subsequently served a formal notice requiring the site to be cleared by 5 June, 2023. The notice was not complied with. The Environment Agency made more requests for waste to stop being brought on to the site and for it to be cleared.
In late 2024 and early 2025, complaints were received about the burning of waste, and the operator was advised by Sheffield City Council to cease burning, which was impacting on local residents. In March 2025, Fitzgerald was interviewed by the Environment Agency, and said that he inspected the site regularly. Another visit in April 2025 revealed there was still waste on the site.
Another man charged in relation to the same site has pleaded not guilty to operating a regulated facility without an environmental permit, with a trial listed for 11 February 2027.

EAGLES FLy OFF TO DRONFIELD
Sheffield Eagles have announced plans to relocate their base to Dronfield in Derbyshire, saying the move is expected to deliver "a significant financial boost" for the club.
The team confirmed it will leave the Steel City Stadium and move to The MEPS International Home of Football Stadium in Dronfield, currently home to Sheffield FC. Their first match at the new venue is scheduled for 24th of May.
The club said the eight-mile (13km) relocation is intended to provide better facilities for players, staff, and supporters.
The Eagles also expressed gratitude to Steel City Stadium for its support and partnership, noting that it had "played an important role in the club's journey over the past few seasons".
Over the years, the club has played at several venues including Don Valley Stadium, Bramall Lane, Owlerton Stadium in Sheffield, and the Belle Vue ground in
Wakefield. Preparations for the move are already underway, with upgrades including a new seated stand along the pitch and refurbished dressing rooms.
The Derbyshire stadium has a capacity of more than 2,000 and can be reached by both car and public transport.
"We hope this move marks an exciting new chapter, offering improved facilities for players, staff and supporters alike, while strengthening the club's longterm ambitions.
"Beyond the financial benefits, the move also represents a strategic step in further strengthening our partnership with Sheffield Football Club, enabling more shared opportunities for events, fan engagement and long-term development."
The statement added that both clubs remain committed to securing a new facility within the city of Sheffield in the future.

In addition to 10 stages of live music and late night DJ sets, the festival will once again bring together the very best independent food and drink, with a bangin’ selection of street food specially curated by Peddler, while Kelham Island Brewery will ensure the craft beer keeps flowing, as they welcome some of the best breweries in the country for The Kelham Beer Mile.

FOOTBALLR UNDUP
Boss left frustrated again
Chris Wilder was visibly disappointed and frustrated by the result and aspects of United’s performance in the final home game of the season against Preston North End.
The Blades conceded twice from corners in the first half, before getting caught on the break having halved the deficit from the penalty spot through Gus Hamer and Wilder acknowledged that is an area marked for improvement in the summer.
The Blades boss remarked on how ‘fragile’ his players looked again and felt the game was ultimately decided in both boxes, as United spurned several last chances kicking towards the Kop.
“The goals that we’ve conceded yet again, really poor,” Wilder told BBC Radio Sheffield.
“We looked fragile every time the ball came in our
box from a set-play.
“We never dealt with that well enough. We knew what the gameplan was going to be. There was nothing in the game from a technical or tactical point of view, but if you can’t defend set-plays and you can’t defend direct play, you’re going to open yourself up.
“I don’t think it takes
a rocket scientist or whether it’s me or 25,000 people knowing the areas where we need to improve, and we will improve next year.
“The spirit of the team was good, they never caved or went under, but we can’t concede the goals we’re conceding and expect to win matches.”
We Could not get tHe PerforMan
It was a game too far for Wednesday, sliding to a 4-1 defeat at Oxford on Saturday.
The Owls were second best almost throughout and Henrik Pedersen did not disagree in his postmatch press conference when asked if his players were tired, mentally and physically:
“Yes, I think this is true, this is not the team we want to be. Today we looked tired, we were tired mentally and this showed in the performance.
“When you are not 100% and you are fatigued, it will show and this happened today. Normally, we are in the game, we are competitive, the players have given absolutely everything but we could not get the performance today.”

Rotherham United manager Lee Clark praised his team’s recent progress after they ended their home campaign at the AESSEAL New York Stadium with a League One draw last weekend. The 53-year-old took charge too late to prevent relegation, but has taken encouragement from improved performances since their drop to the fourth tier was confirmed earlier this month. In their final home game last weekend, the Millers held 10th-placed Reading to a 1-1 draw and were unlucky not to come away with all three points. “I think we looked inventive, we looked brave on the ball. I like to see bravery in the final third - people trying to make slide-rule passes, players trying to take on their opponent.
“We did with the goal and on a few more occasions.
It just wasn’t to be. We probably deserved more than one goal.
“At least we’re making some good opportunities now. When we first came through the door, there were a couple of games where you thought: ‘We’re not really making chances, never mind scoring.’
“It’s been improving with each game. I think the belief of the players has been a thing as well - they’re believing in themselves a lot more now.”
“It was a really good first half,” said Clark who takes his team to Wycombe Wanderers next Saturday for a last-day clash. “We created some terrific opportunities.
”We scored a great goal - a good pass from Dan Gore and a great finish from

Sam. We could have had a couple more.
“Then, in the second half for a 15-minute spell at the start, we got a bit sloppy.
We let them score a goal that we didn’t like. It wasn’t particularly nice.
“Reading really had us pushed pushed back. We were loose, we looked a little bit tired. Then the lads came back into it and started making chances again and playing on the front foot.
“We had some good opportunities to go on and win the game. There were some really good, positive bits of play, things that
we’ve worked on.”
“We had two players whose minutes were limited in Denzel (Hall) and Dru (Yearwood),” he said. “We could play them only for an hour. They did terrific work in that time, but you could see them starting to fatigue a bit, so we had to get them off. We couldn’t risk them reinjuring themselves.”
“I felt the scoreline reflected the game,” Clarke said. “We were poor first half and their goal is poor. We had a couple of big moments where we have got to be better.”
game have an impact?
“Yes, I think so,” said Pedersen. “Oxford could play without pressure and they played in a different way to how they have played over the last months.
“But for me, it is about Sheffield Wednesday and this is not the Sheffield Wednesday we have seen this season.
“It shows when you are not at your 100% best at this level, you will have a problem, and we had problems today.
“The players now have two days to rest, to recover, and we are back on Tuesday to prepare for West Brom, a game we are desperate to win for our fans, who have been amazing for us this season.”
One bright spot was the first goal in Wednesday colours for Will Grainger. The academy product came on as a second half substitute and scored with a fabulous hit into the top corner. Pedersen added: “I am very pleased for the young man and he can be
very pleased for himself and proud.
“This shows the rewards are there for the hard work to go with the talent.
“Will has a big career ahead of him and we will continue to work and develop that talent.”

MCCann ‘KneW’ sHarP Would sCore on final HoMe BoW
Grant McCann was convinced Billy Sharp would score during his final home appearance for Rovers.
Sharp came off the bench at half time and netted the equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Stevenage.
The striker was roundly celebrated throughout the afternoon following the announcement of his departure at the end of the season.
And manager McCann felt there was a sense of inevitability once Sharp
entered the fray.
“Billy energised the group for the second half and he did what he’s done throughout his career,” McCann said. “I’m really pleased for him to be in the right place at the right time which he’s done so many times.
“He said to me coming off the pitch that he needs four next week at Peterborough to get to 300 goals for his career and you wouldn’t back against him.
“He’s an unbelievable
person and character and I just knew he would score today. I could just feel it.
“Billy has had three or four weeks out with the injury and he came on, looked really sharp and got hold of the ball, brought others into the game. He was excellent and he deserved his goal.
“I’m just delighted for Billy to score in his last appearance here.”
McCann praised the supporters - not only for the reception given
to Sharp but also how vocal they were throughout the day.
“They were brilliant,” he said. “It’s some place this and this is something we want to try and get to. It’s some place when it’s busier. You can feel it sucking the ball into the back of the net and it felt like that today.”
“It felt like there was more fans in here and and rightly so. They’ve all come to to see Billy’s last game.”
confirmed that Gabriel Otegbayo sat out the game due to an injury sustained in midweek at Middlesbrough:
was not quite ready today, he has a problem with his calf and we will not take the risk.
he will be okay for the West Brom game on Saturday.”
