The leader of the Liberal Democrats in Sheffield, Shaffaq Mohammed, says he didn't expect the party to win the Brinsworth and Catcliffe by-election, by such a big majority.

Adam Carter got 60% of the vote, resulting in the party's first seat on Rotherham Council.

Meanwhile, Labour won yesterday's other by-election, taking the Dinnington ward from UKIP.

It's always good to see an MP out in their constituency meeting the people they're supposed to represent.

And sometimes that means they have to drag their spouses around with them too. 

Here's Yvette Cooper MP at Normanton Common School in West Yorkshire, for example.

It's just that when you other half is former MP and Strictly contestant Ed Balls, things can get a bit Gangnam-style:

Knottingley Sports Centre and Castleford pool are shutting down because Wakefield Council says they're in a bad condition and are too expensive to run.    

They'll eventually be replaced by a £15m leisure centre in Pontefract, but it's not even been designed yet. 

Some local residents claim they've been forgotten by Wakefield Council:

But the council says its budget can't stretch to keeping the pools open, especially as it has to save about £27m in the next year.

The victim was pushed to the ground from behind in Bowling Cemetery, Bradford, last Wednesday morning.

He then threatened her with a brick and as she screamed he punched her in the face. 

He then took her e-reader and purse from her handbag before riding off on a bike.

Anyone with information is asked to contact police.

Measures to tackle anti-social behaviour in Hexthorpe are working according to Doncaster Council.

It's a year since a Public Spaces Protection Order and landlord licensing were introduced and the authority says it's seeing positive results.

Complaints about nuisance are down by a fifth, noise complaints have reduced by a third and complaints about dirty properties have been cut by almost half.  

But not everyone's happy.

The 31-year-old was arrested yesterday on suspicion of conspiracy to murder. Raheem Wilks died in hospital after being shot outside a barber's shop in Harehills last Thursday.

A 23-year-old man remains in custody, as does a 19-year-old woman who was arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. She has since also been arrested for conspiracy to murder.

One man has been charged with his murder and another two have been released on bail.

If you've never been inside a mosque and you don't know anything about Islam and the Muslim way of life there's a chance to put that right this weekend.

Mosques across the country are throwing open their doors and inviting you inside to find out what goes on.

York Mosque, on Bull Lane, is one of the communities taking part in the Visit My Mosque project.

I've been along to meet some of the team, including the mosque's president Shazzad Hussein, who explained what the project is all about:

A 31-year-old woman has been arrested in Castleford on suspicion of conspiracy to murder in connection with the shooting of Raheem Wilks in Leeds.

There's a huge sense of anticipation in Tadcaster this morning ahead of the re-opening of the bridge there later.

By my calculation, it's been 401 days since the Grade II-listed 18th century bridge partially collapsed on 29 December 2015 following flooding caused by the Boxing Day storms.

Since then, local residents have faced massive detours to simply get from one side of the town to the other. 

A short time ago, the final stone was laid and now engineers are busy resurfacing the carriageway, putting the final layer of tarmac onto the road. 

The official re-opening ceremony is due to be performed at about 14:00. 

Road traffic will be allowed to drive over the bridge for the first time an hour later.

Most politicians look to the future after being elected - thinking about what policies they want to see enacted.

But what do you do if you've been elected to the European Parliament just after the UK voted for Brexit?

If Article 50 is triggered as scheduled next month, the UK will leave the European Union in Spring 2019.

John Procter became a Conservative Member of the European Parliament For Yorkshire and the Humber in November 2016. 

I asked him why he was taking on a job with no real future:

It happened on Monday just before 04:00 as the driver was about to drive off with his passenger when two men came over to talk to him.

After a short converstaion one of the men grabbed him and ran off with his takings.  

The suspects are white, both aged in their 30s and of medium build. One of them was wearing grey jeans and a yellow high-visibility padded jacked. The other wore a black jacket.

Wakefield Council has revealed more cuts are on the way. 

Over the next year, it has to save £27m and is planning to cut about 100 posts.

The council has said it plans to reduce spending on children's play areas. 

But Wakefield resident Karen, who looks after granddaughter Evie once a week, says there's already a lack of facilities for children in the district:

Schools in the north of England need "urgent attention", according to the first report by George Osborne's Northern Powerhouse think tank, external. 

The findings show the region loses 30,000 graduates a year, as students choose to move away after completing their studies.

The Northern Powerhouse Partnership, which is an independent body chaired by the former chancellor, is due to release its report in Leeds later.

Dan Jarvis, the Labour MP for Barnsley, is asking the Prime Minister to draw up specific goals to help poorer families.   

He says he wants a law change to re-establish a target for ending child poverty and MPs are due to debate his Child Poverty in the UK (Target for Reduction) Bill later.

Mr Jarvis says: "Theresa May has spoken at length about those people who are just managing. My Bill is about those people who are just managing."

Have you seen Ralph Mortimer? He's been missing from Rothwell in Leeds since last night.

He was wearing a black three-quarter length coat, dark blue trousers, a blue and white checked shirt and black shoes.

Police say they are "very concerned" for his welfare and his family are "anxiously waiting for news that he is OK".

With the full re-opening of Tadcaster's flood-hit bridge finally due to take place a little later today, here's a look back at how we've got to today:

• The road bridge over the River Wharfe at Tadcaster partially collapsed on 29 December 2015 - one of several in North and West Yorkshire to be hit by major flooding
• The government pledged £3m for repair work within days of the collapse, and £1.4m was given by the region's Local Enterprise Partnership to widen and strengthen the bridge 
• Work on the bridge included constructing a concrete beam on its north side, which is within the Tadcaster Conservation Area
• The wall and parapet was then moved to meet it, meaning the footpaths could be widened to 1.8m, and the road to 7.3m
• An objection from the town's Samuel Smith's Brewery over plans to widen the bridge was rejected in September last year
• In November 2016,  "persistent and unusually high river levels" were blamed for delays to the repair and rebuilding work which was originally expected to finish in December

York City have released young reserve striker Nick Kennedy by mutual consent. 

The 19-year-old graduate of the City Academy signed his first professional deal with the club in May, but has since been unable to break into the first team ranks. 

He was previously loaned-out to Evo-Stik Division One North side Radcliffe Borough in December.
