Plans for new park in Kirklees in doubtpublished at 11:22 British Summer Time 7 October 2016
Ambitious plans to create a country park in Kirklees appear to be over.
The owners of Farnley Estate had hoped to get council backing for a 1,500-acre park - featuring a cycle track and nature reserve.
However the park would've been funded through the sale of green belt land for housing - and last night it emerged it's failed to make it onto the council's master plan for housing.
The plan was popular amongst residents, with an online consultation receiving 10,375 responses, of which 8,839 were in favour of the proposal.
Fire fighters 'likely to remain over the weekend' at glass factorypublished at 11:05 British Summer Time 7 October 2016
The scene of a fire at Cross Green in Leeds will take all weekend to put out completely according to West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue.
Scores of firefighters are tackling the blaze at a glass manufacturing plant on Towngate Link, an industrial estate on Cross Green Way.
At its height more than 20 fire engines and three aerial platforms were used to fight the flames.
We won't know what caused the fire for some time and no injuries have been reported.
Quote MessageThe building structure is now unstable and for that reason we cannot commit firefighters inside it so we are tackling the areas that are still burning from outside using aerial jets.
