Could Leeds' greenbelt be protected?published at 15:41 Greenwich Mean Time 17 November 2017
Richard Edwards
Political Reporter, BBC Radio LeedsThirty-three green belt sites across Leeds could be protected from development.
Image source, GoogleArguments gone backwards and forwards in the city for years about where new homes should be built but the protection of these sites will be a long process.
Leeds City Council's development plans panel meets on Tuesday and panel members will be asked to agree to start a public consultation over whether these 33 sites should be protected from house building.
If that consultation is agreed, the council can't just take the 33 out of something called the site allocations plan, instead, removing them would have to be approved by the council's executive board, 99 councillors and the public.
If all those stars fall into line, the housing part of the site allocations plan would be put before government inspectors, then Leeds's house-building target could be reduced from 66,000 - something green-belt campaigners and opposition councillors have been keen to see.

Sheffield MP's fears over private mental health hospitalpublished at 14:40 Greenwich Mean Time 17 November 2017
Kate Linderholm
BBC Local Live, SheffieldLabour MP Louise Haigh has accused private mental health hospital Cygnet of "chronic failure" after the fourth report in 13 months showed the hospital as requiring improvement.
The Sheffield MP has reiterated calls for NHS England to stop commissioning beds at the private mental health hospital after a catalogue of failings.
Parents and former patients have contacted Louise to share their own experiences of being able to self-harm, access ligatures and implements with ease and of the inadequacies of patient observation, which have led to several attempted suicides.
Quote MessageSerious problems persist and it is an utter disgrace that vulnerable adolescents and children continue to be left in substandard conditions. The lack of mental health beds nationwide is forcing vulnerable people into conditions no one should have to put up with"
Louise Haigh MP
Cygnet has released a statement saying it is "committed to acting on the recommendations made in the report to ensure our services meet the high standards that both we and the CQC require".

Thieves steal 2,000 sets of Lego from children's charitypublished at 13:55 Greenwich Mean Time 17 November 2017
Thieves have stolen about 2,000 sets of Lego destined for children’s hospitals and hospices in Huddersfield.
Image source, Fairy BricksThe sets were taken from a parked van owned by the Fairy Bricks charity in a gated industrial estate off New Hey Road sometime between 17:00 last night and 09:00 this morning.
The sets - number 40222 - are not on general sale so are very distinctive and were issued promotionally by Lego stores last Christmas.
Fairy Bricks distributes Lego sets to children’s hospitals and hospices and police say the sets were going to be distributed to sick children this Christmas.
Officers say their enquires are "very much ongoing" to find out who did it:
Quote MessageThe items stolen were intended to help improve the wellbeing of children who may be in hospital or hospices over the festive period."
Insp James Kitchen, West Yorkshire Police
