A community poll closes today over a choice of devolution proposals in Barnsley and Doncaster.

The choices are a wider Yorkshire or a smaller Sheffield City Region devolution.

Under the terms of the Sheffield City Region deal, external, which was agreed in 2015, an elected mayor will have powers over transport budgets and strategic planning and access to £30m per year for 30 years.

The "One Yorkshire" proposal was first put forward in August, when 17 of the 20 councils in the county said they wanted to pursue a county-wide deal, arguing that it promised collective clout.

It’s too late to vote via post but people can vote online until 12 noon today.

This poll was agreed to in November and the results are not legally binding.

We'll know the outcome tomorrow.

The Dalai Lama's Gyuto Monks of Tibet, say they are performing to show solidarity with protesters, who have been living near the well for months.

Fracking is the process of drilling down into the earth before a high-pressure water mixture is directed at rock to release the gas inside.

Opponents say it can cause water contamination, earthquakes and vehicles going to and from the site could lead to noise and traffic pollution.

Gas company Third Energy is expected to begin the fracking process in the new year.

They maintain the process of extracting shale gas is safe.
