    Hello, Kate here to bring you all today's news, sport, weather and travel from Sheffield and across South Yorkshire.

    Get in touch if you have a story or photo to share. The day is starting a bit dull but I've got an image of cherry blossom on Shoreham Street in Sheffield to brighten it up.
