It's hard to get sentimental over a pair of gates, but these giant cast-iron ones at Halifax Borough Market have been used to secure the site for more than 120 years.

The eight sets of gates are becoming more difficult to move, as the hinges have become worn, so Calderdale Council have taken them down to do a bit of work on them.

Once removed, each gate will be cleaned back to bare metal before repairs are made using traditional techniques. The gates will then be repainted using a colour scheme agreed with Historic England.

It is, of course, the arrival of snowdrops.

Can you believe that every year about 18 tonnes of old bikes are taken to the Hazel Court Household Waste Recycling Centre.

Many of them can be done up and sold at cost price to people who want them and the council wants to work with a non-profit organisation who'll do the work.

City of York Council says it now wants to hear from people who may be able to set up such a group.

Mourners attending Irfan Wahid's funeral in Leeds this lunchtime include the MP for the Harehills, Richard Burgon.
