On Friday 9 February 1996 Mr Swailes was assaulted in the early hours of the morning after he was on a night out in Pontefract with his sister and brother-in-law.　

On the way home, a car started to flash its lights at them, so they pulled over. Mr Swailes and his brother-in-law then argued with the driver of the other car before getting back in their car. 

A few seconds later the passenger window of their car was smashed and Mr Swailes was struck over the head with a blunt object. The other driver left in the direction of Nostell Priory. Peter Swailes died in hospital from his injuries.

Here's a festival of woolley cuteness - and if the lambs are arriving it really must be spring!

We had some pretty hefty queues around some parts of Yorkshire this morning, meaning some annoying delays for thousands of us.

But what's more annoying than the delays themselves are the people trying to cut in at the last minute in a queue of traffic. But are they actually doing the right thing?  

I just stumbled across something I thought you'd like to see,  taken from the How Stuff Works website, external . 

They say being polite and joining the queue as quickly as you can rather than just driving to where the traffic merges actually creates more problems.

They say we should think of this kind of a situation like a zip coming together, where the two lanes merge - and that using all of the available road actually speeds things up. 

Not very British, though, is it?

An international charity has said it's deeply concerned about the felling of street trees as part of Sheffield City Council's Streets Ahead programme.

Trees for Cities is based in the UK but works around the world to create greener cities and has planted 25,000 trees in Sheffield in the last 10 years.

They say street trees provide essential ecosystem services and say it's unacceptable for any tree to be removed for economic gain

Police haven't named him, but it's understood he's Peter Pickering. 

He's being held on suspicion of murdering Elsie Frost in Wakefield in 1965. 

West Yorkshire Police began to examine what happened following a BBC Radio 4 investigation in 2015. 

He's also being questioned about an unconnected allegation of kidnap and rape in 1972.

He was arrested this morning near Newbury in Berkshire.

Stagecoach have just put this on their Twitter feed about points problems affecting tram services in Sheffield.

They say they can't carry out repairs on the points immediately because they would have to suspend the Blue route to do it:

Police investigating an attack on a woman on Strensall Common, near York, last month have issued this e-fit of the suspect:

Image source, North Yorkshire Police

The incident happened between 14:30 and 15:15 on Sunday 26 February as the woman was walking her dog along a path next to the golf course.

A man called out to her, and concerned by this she turned to walk back the way she had come.

The same man then jumped out in front of her a bit further along the path and grabbed her neck.

In response to this, the woman's dog bit the man on his leg causing him to let go of the woman and allowing her and her dog to escape and get back to her car.

There were a number of other people in the area at the time, and officers are appealing to them to contact them, even if they did not see the incident itself.

We've got a lot to thank the Georgians for: amazing architecture, the art of Turner and Gainsborough...and, of course, a lot of our pavements.

Trouble is that many of them keep getting stolen, much like this section which was taken in Leeds at the weekend:

A hospital trust is under fire after a baby was stillborn in Sheffield.

Rebecca Clarkson was 42-years-old when her daughter Ava died last year.

Rebecca says because she was over 40 she should have been treated by a consultant and offered an induction due to the risk of stillbirth.

She says she's not sure if she wants to try for another baby:

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust says Rebecca was given consultant-led care due to her age.

After a review of Rebecca's case the trust says it's made some organisational changes to limit the chances of this happening again.

...makes for a pretty impressive timelapse.

Thanks to Wendy Scott for sharing this video with us of some dramatic clouds over Sheffield this morning.

A new approach to adult social care in Doncaster which will see money spent more efficiently is being promised by the town's council.

The Your Life, Your Way plan is being rolled out over four years in response to the borough's ageing population.

It will focus resources on keeping people independent in their own homes for longer, with more locally based services.

Councillor Glyn Jones, who's responsible for social care at Doncaster Council, says new ways of helping older people have to be found:
