The organisers of Sheffield's Tramlines Festival say this year's event will seee the biggest line-up yet as it makes the move to Hillsborough Park.

But the Folk Forest, one of the popular stages held in Endcliffe Park, will no longer be part of the Tramlines ticket.

Festival Organiser Sarah Nulty says it's disappointing about the Folk Forest, but there will be more available at the new site:

Local MPs have branded the decision as "disappointing".

Mr Blomfield asked: "I think it will be very little comfort to many Carillion staff past and present when they hear that their pension fund is approaching a deficit of a billion pounds.

"Public sector contracts have made some at the top of Carillion very rich indeed. So what action is the minister taking to ensure that current and future pensioners don't lose out?"

Business minister Andrew Griffiths responded that anyone worried about their pension can contact the Pensions Advisory Service whose dedicated helpline has now responded to over 800 calls since the insolvency of the construction giant was announced earlier this month.

The ex-soldier is the third Labour candidate to announce he will stand in the Sheffield City Region.

Bradford Council says increasing awareness of the damage done to the natural world by waste plastic has made it want to urge people "to redouble their efforts to recycle".

The authority points out that plastic food wrappings and trays, yoghurt pots, butter tubs and food and drinks cartons, as well as plastic bottles, can be recycled.

In November last year, the people behind Blue Planet II said there was rarely a time when they were filming that they didn't come across plastic in the sea.

A man from North Yorkshire who features in an international list of influential people under 30 says he didn't even realise he'd been included on it.

David Taylor, 29, from Malton, is the man behind the Yorkshire Young Sinfonia.

The orchestra became what's thought to be the first youth ochestra in the world to become 100% digital, using tablets instead of sheet music.

A former cello teacher at the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music in Jerusalem, David estimates the Yorkshire Young Sinfonia has reached a total audience of over four million people in three years.

Now he's been recognised in Forbes magazine's "30 Under 30" list.

He says he only found out he'd made the list by watching the news:
