    Thomas Scoffin, 31 from Park Avenue in Leeds was the sole director of Leeds-based Excel Servicing was sentenced to seven years imprisonment.

    His mother Linda Scoffin, 61 from Hall Drive in Lincoln who helped him run the business, was sentenced to three years.

    The pair had falsely claimed to represent the Dyson firm and then convinced people that their vacuum needed servicing, in some cases damaging a perfectly functioning model.

    Customers were often charged between £50 and £200 to service the cleaners, and charged £40 for a new filter which were only worth between £2 and £5.

    As Leeds United's supporters celebrated at the traditional gathering place of The Old Peacock just a short walk from Elland Road, one of English football's institutions had taken another small step on the long road to recovery.

    A 3-2 win over Ipswich - a game almost designed to play on nerves frayed by 15 years of trauma - kept Leeds top of the Championship on goal difference going into Tuesday's game at third-placed Cardiff.

    The revival under their latest manager, Thomas Christiansen, had brought 34,002 to the famous stadium, the highest of the season and a third successive league attendance in excess of 30,000.

    Christiansen, the 44-year-old Danish-born former Spain international, had Leeds fans heading to Wikipedia for information when he succeeded Garry Monk.

    He is the symbol of the relative calm that has suddenly descended on this part of Yorkshire after the years of madness that followed David O'Leary's sacking in June 2002.

    Five dog owners from Sheffield have been nipped in the pocket because their dogs were not microchipped.

    They were each fined at Sheffield Magistrates' Court for not ensuring their animals had microchips with up-to-date information about their pets, something that's legally required.

    Owners can only be excused if they have a veterinary certificate stating this should not happen due to reasons relating to the animal’s health.

    The maximum fine is £500 in each case.

    Quote Message

    We are pleased that the courts have taken a firm stance on microchipping of dogs. It is a pity that these dog owners chose not to microchip their pet despite the efforts of our staff”

    BBC Local Live, Sheffield

    At the age of 71, comedian and actor Bobby Knutt has died today.

    He died in France where he was on holiday.

    His roles in soap operas and pantomimes have been many and Knutty, as he was known, made his name on the club circuit as a comedian.

    His wife, Donna Hartley-Wass, died suddenly in 2013 as she sunbathed in the couple's back garden in Barnsley.

    In this recording, Bobby Knutt reflects on his home city of Sheffield and his popular panto roles:

    The city’s waterfront - from Victoria Quays along the Sheffield & Tinsley Canal and the River Don - was transformed with family-friendly activities, live music, art, food and drink.

    It was organised by waterway charity, the Canal & River Trust and Kelham Island Museum with support from the River Stewardship Company and coincided with this year’s global celebrations for World Rivers Day.

    Quote Message

    Sheffield would not be the city it is without its waterways. This festival celebrates the city’s industrial heritage which played such an important part in its development."

  16. Travel update: M62 problems continuepublished at 15:35 British Summer Time 25 September 2017

    BBC News Travel

    If you're one of the many who'll be stuck in 11 miles of queues on the M62, here's a small crumb of comfort in that the thing that's delaying you is being moved:

    CraneImage source, Highways England

    The reason that there is such a big queue is that a crane that caught fire is being removed from the side of the motorway.

    As you can see, what's left of the crane is now being loaded onto a low-loader.

    Bad news is there's a queue all the way from J23 at Huddersfield att the way to J21 at Shaw/Milnrow.

  17. Travel update: 11 miles of queues on M62published at 15:26 British Summer Time 25 September 2017

    To add to the woes of travelling westbound on the M62, there are 11 miles of queues from J23 - J20 as a crane that was on fire last night is recovered.

    Highways England say that if you can, avoid the M62 and go via "alternative trans-Pennine routes".

    Two of the three lanes are closed at this spot.

    Not a good day to be heading westbound on the M62.
