 Two councils in South Yorkshire aren't exactly seeing eye-to-eye over how to tackle fly-tipping. 

A senior figure in Rotherham Council reckons Barnsley's new "residents-only at tips" scheme will drive up fly-tipping.

A letter from councillor Emma Hoddinott to Barnsley Council spells out the concerns, claiming the scheme will have "a detrimental impact on residents who live on the Rotherham/Barnsley border".

The scheme in Barnsley is designed to cut the £800 a day the council says it spends on clearing up fly-tipping.

Hourly pay in Sheffield is 10% below the UK average, the lowest in any major British city, according to a new study by the Resolution Foundation, external.

A look into the state of living standards across Sheffield found that full-time workers are facing a £1,750 pay penalty every year. 

The gap in earnings can be partly explained by a high number of low-paying sectors like office administration and retail in the city, which typically pay less than the UK average.
