Sharon Stoltz, said there had been a rise in the number of Covid-19 cases recently and urged people to remain vigilant in order to prevent further measures being imposed.

The city currently has a rate of 52.4 cases per 100,000 people for the seven days up to 23 September, Ms Stoltz told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

"There's every possibility that York may find itself on that watchlist as an area of concern," she said.

"The pattern we are seeing at the moment is our trend is very similar to the trend we are seeing for other parts of the north - but our rate is lower than many of those other areas."

Her comments come after a video showed a large crowd gathering after leaving bars in the city on Saturday.

The video prompted concern as the crowd, of largely young people, ignored social distancing guidelines before being dispersed peacefully by the police.

Bradford's Bavaria Place Police Station has been included among the country's most endangered buildings, according to the Victorian Society.

The society has listed 10 Victorian and Edwardian buildings in England or Wales it deemed to be of national importance but at serious risk of being lost.

The "dramatic gothic-towered" former police station was in "dire need of saving", the society said.

It was built in 1877 by Milnes and France, one of Bradford's largest architect firms, but has been empty for many years and "is in need of restoration".

In 2003 Bradford Council served an urgent works notice and the building was made secure and weathertight - but further repairs have become "now long overdue".

Other buildings on the list include Brighton Hippodrome, a pub featured in TV show Auf Wiedersehen, Pet and what is claimed to be the country's first lager brewery.

Wakefield’s twinning partnerships with two Chinese cities will be axed over human rights concerns, it’s been confirmed.

Image source, Robin Stott/Geograph

The district signed a friendship agreement with Nanning in May last year, in a move which was hailed at the time as good for local businesses.

It followed a similar arrangement being forged with the city of Xiangyang in 2016.

But Wakefield Council’s Labour leader Denise Jeffery said on Monday that both partnerships would be scrapped in light of international criticism of China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims.

Mrs Jeffery said: “Members of the Labour group are deeply concerned about the alleged treatment of Uyghur Muslims by the Chinese state.

“The violation of people’s human rights is simply not acceptable.

“I have now received a number of responses from individuals and groups, including members of our district’s Asian communities, who believe that the council should re-consider our relationship with our sister cities.

“We have listened to people’s views and have therefore taken the decision to withdraw from our current twinning arrangements with China.”
