    BBC Local Live, Leeds

    That's it from me for today, I'll be back tomorrow from 08:00 with more news, sport, weather and travel to keep you going.

    Before we go let's look back on today, via the medium of five things we learned today.

    1. It was snowy this morning and it was a right pain getting to work
    2. It wasn't all doom and gloom though...
    3. Speaking of doom and gloom, some of our MPs didn't really welcome the 45th President of the USA with open arms.
    4. Back to snow, if the car won't go, just jump on the skis you never use!
    5. And once more for the kiddies... Don't forget your keys!

    See you tomorrow...

    Attempts by opposition councillors to force further scrutiny of the plans were heavily defeated this afternoon by the ruling Labour group.

    Labour says the reforms are part of a six-year programme to improve adult social care, which is designed to keep people out of hospital.

    The three homes are Siegen Manor (pictured), in Morley, The Green in Seacroft and Middlecross, in Armley.

  12. TV presenter 'crying in relief' at reaching birthdaypublished at 15:07 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016

  13. Housing supply to be discussed at Leeds City Councilpublished at 14:42 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016

    Richard Edwards
    Political Reporter, BBC Radio Leeds

    Housing supply - or lack of it - has been a big story in Leeds and West Yorkshire for years. 

    Across our region, thousands of people are on local council housing waiting lists, while many people looking to buy their first homes complain they're priced out of the market.

    At a full meeting of Leeds City Council which is now under way, the city's two main political groups are due to work together to try and get the market moving. 

    Both Labour and the Conservatives, which between them hold more than 80 of the council's 99 seats, will call for property developers who bank land to be fined. 

    So-called "land-banking" happens when house builders buy up land for development - but don't do anything with it. 

    The council's problem, after today, will be to persuade the government that fining property developers is a good idea.

    Property developers say the problem is not with them, but with a slow planning system, and have rejected claims that firms bank land as they're hoping its value will increase.

  14. Bus strike planned for Mondaypublished at 14:18 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016

    Hundreds of bus drivers in West Yorkshire are set to strike on Monday in a row over pay and shifts, a union says.

    About 850 Arriva drivers working in Castleford, Dewsbury, Heckmondwike, Wakefield and Selby will take part in the walkout, according to the Unite union.

    It's claimed they're being asked to drive for up to 5.5 hours without a break.

    We're waiting for a response from Arriva.

    Quote Message

    Strike action is not a step our members take lightly, but after nearly 12 months of circular talks they have become increasingly angry about being strung along by Arriva bosses.

  17. Listen: Delays to Headingley Stadium development planspublished at 13:46 Greenwich Mean Time 9 November 2016

    Adam Pope
    BBC West Yorkshire Sport

    Leeds Rhinos say they're disappointed that plans have been delayed to demolish the South Stand at Headingley Stadium.

    It's because there have been so many objections to the club selling off land to developers for housing in Tingley and Weetwood. 

    A lengthy delay could mean Headingley missing out on test cricket and the Rugby League World Cup. 

    I asked Yorkshire Cricket Club's chief executive Mark Arthur for his reaction to the delay:
