00:00 Do you think there's enough facilities in the area you live in or is it crying out for more?
00:04 It's quite a small market town, it hasn't got too many people living there but there's quite a lot to do.
00:11 And in terms of shops, doctors, does it have enough of those?
00:15 We have one doctor's which is very busy and seems to cater for everybody, although more estates are being built
00:21 so we'll see as time goes on how they cope with the extra population.
00:26 I'm from Doncaster, my friend is from Pontefract.
00:31 We really need more.
00:33 And what kind of things do you need more of?
00:36 The problem with the towns is that they're losing the shops and facilities.
00:41 They're full of charity shops and coffee shops and there's things that you could do with without having to go too far out there.
00:51 And come into Leeds and places like that. It's a cost in itself, isn't it?
00:56 Because it's a day out and you're eating lunch, but it would be nice.
01:02 I know that won't happen now, the culture's changed, hasn't it, completely?
01:06 And that's how it is. But it would be nice for it to come back a little bit.
01:12 Some places, smaller places, have nice individual shops like the older market towns.
01:19 The traditional high street.
01:21 But you're not close enough to those. So where we are and where you are, Pontefract and Doncaster, are really struggling.
01:29 Do you think there's enough facilities in the area? Shops, doctors? Or does it need more?
01:35 Yeah, lots of. There's one like five minutes away.
