The Mayor of West Yorkshire has announced former Leeds city councillor Alison Lowe as her preferred candidate for the role of deputy mayor for policing and crime.

Ms Lowe (pictured), who is currently chief executive at health and wellbeing charity Touchstone, previously represented Armley on Leeds City Council for nearly 30 years and served as chairwoman of the West Yorkshire Police and Crime Panel.

She made history on her election in 1990, becoming the first ever black female councillor in Leeds.

As Tracy Brabin’s office now includes the role of Police and Crime Commissioner, it means Mark Burns-Williamson, who served two terms as West Yorkshire’s first Police and Crime Commissioner, will advise Ms Brabin on policing and crime matters until Ms Lowe takes up her role.

Ms Brabin said: "Alison brings a wealth of experience of policing and crime issues to the role and is a passionate champion of inclusion and mental health which we both want to be at the core of policing in West Yorkshire."

Ms Lowe said: "I am very proud to be put forward as the first deputy mayor for policing and crime in West Yorkshire and share the mayor’s determination that the voices of all our communities are heard."

The summits of 95 hills in the Peak District have been named The Ethels, in honour of Sheffield-born Ethel Haythornthwaite.

During World War One Ethel's husband was killed, and while grieving she took regular walks through the countryside near her home.

For the next 60 years she campaigned to preserve the area and was an early environmentalist.

A new app allows people to track how many of the Ethels they have walked or climbed.

Tomo Thompson, from CPRE Peak District and South Yorkshire, said "There are parts of the Ethel map which will bring people to places they've never been".

An estimated 170,000 car insurance claims in 15 months are suspected to have been linked to "crash for cash" gangs, investigations suggest.

Crash for cash is the name given to a fraud when criminals deliberately cause a road collision to claim compensation.

The Insurance Fraud Bureau (IFB), which shares intelligence within the sector, said there were 2.7 million motor insurance claims across the UK from October 2019 to the end of last year, of which 170,000 could be linked to suspected crash for cash networks.

It said the main hotspots were the B25, B34 and B8 postcode areas of Birmingham, and the BD7 and BD3 areas of Bradford.

It hoped that by pinpointing crash for cash hotspots, people would be encouraged to be vigilant as more drivers start to take to the roads.
