Here are the latest details of the closure on the M62 westbound after a multi-vehicle accident:

Stage two of the Tour de Yorkshire will get under way in Barnsley this morning - here's a photo of the start line near the Town Hall.

Thousands are expected to turn out in the sunshine to cheer on the start of the women's race at 09:00, the men's race will begin later this afternoon at 14:20.

It's the first time the town will have hosted the Tour de Yorkshire as last year the peloton only passed through Penistone during Stage 3 of the race.

There's currently slow traffic and partially blocked lanes near junction 35 on the M62.

It's due to an accident involving three cars.

Following yesterday's local elections, there's been little change for West Yorkshire's councils, with most areas remaining under Labour control.

In Bradford, Labour retained control, with the party gaining Bolton and Undercliffe from the Lib Dems.

That seat saw former council leader Ian Greenwood return to the authority after a six-year absence.

Mr Greenwood said it "feels very good" to be back but it was a "hard ask" to win the seat:

"We always knew we had to work at it, which we did. But I always thought it was possible," he said.

"There were sufficient people who'd demonstrated in the past they were prepared to vote Labour and that if we could persuade them to vote Labour, then we'd be successful."

Labour remains in control of Wakefield Council this morning, following Thursday's local elections.

The Conservatives took Horbury and South Ossett from Labour and also took control of the Wakefield Rural ward.

The council's now made up of 52 Labour and 11 Conservative councillors.

However, turnout in Wakefield was very low, with just over a quarter of people voting in yesterday's elections.

Council leader Peter Box says he wonders if there's "a slight disenchantment with politicians generally" at the moment.

"It is disappointing because people should exercise their democratic right to vote," he says.

There's currently queuing traffic and the main carriageway on the M62 Westbound is currently closed at J34 A19 (Selby/Doncaster) due to an accident.

Two lorries have collided, one coming to a stop in lane two, and the other further ahead in lane three.

The main carriageway has been closed to avoid traffic weaving between the lorries involved and to ease recovery.

A diversion's current in place.

It seems that voters angry at Sheffield City Council's tree-felling programme have helped the Green Party gain seats in the city in the local elections.

In Netheredge, where trees are earmarked for felling, Green Party candidate Alison Teal not only held onto her seat but beat Labour by 1,300 votes.

The Greens also made gains in City Ward where they hold all three seats, and Broomhill and Sharrow Vale.

The party increased its vote share significantly in Gleadless Valley, which has been the location of several street tree protests by Meersbrook Park - but not enough to take the seat.

The weather is great for Day Two of the Tour de Yorkshire.

It looks set to be breezy with light cloud.

Labour are still firmly in control of Sheffield City Council where a third of the seats were being contested in yesterday's local elections.

The party lost three seats on the night.

However, there have been gains for the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party.

But it wasn't a good night for UKIP who lost the only seat the party was trying to defend.

Labour has kept control of Wakefield Council and Leeds City Council following yesterday's local elections.

However, the Conservatives did make some gains, winning four seats in Wakefield.

While the picture has remained very similar, both Labour and Conservative MPs in Leeds say it's been a good night.

Alec Shelbrooke (pictured), Conservative MP for Elmet and Rothwell, says: "You'd be expecting at this point in the electoral cycle for Labour to be picking up seats to be really hitting the Conservative Party. That's not what we're seeing in Leeds."

Rail services seem to be running pretty smoothly across Yorkshire so far this morning.

However, a reminder that some train services heading across the Pennines from West Yorkshire will be replaced by buses between Preston and Blackpool North.

Labour has retained control of Leeds after winning 57 seats, with the Conservatives on 20, Liberal Democrats on three, Green Party on two and eight Independents.

Some results are yet to be announced.

Labour is dominating as results continue to come in from Leeds.

All 99 seats on the council are up for grabs with three seats in each of Leeds' 33 wards.

The councillor who polls the most votes in a ward will be awarded a four-year term on the council.

The runner up gets a two-year term and the candidate who finishes third receives a one-year term.

Labour now has 52 councillors in Bradford, up three on the night. The Tories boosted their tally by one.

Leeds City Council leader Judith Blake has been re-elected, holding on to her Middleton Park seat.

Labour's Paul Truswell and Kim Groves have also been re-elected. All 99 seats were up for election in the authority's 33 wards.

Labour has maintained control of power in Wakefield although it has lost two seats to the Tories.

Ahead of the election there were 53 Labour, seven Conservative, two UKIP and one Independent.

The Tories took Horbury and South Ossett from Labour and also took control of the previously Labour ward Wakefield Rural.

The council is now made up of 52 Labour and 11 Conservative.

Labour loses four seats in city:

Hilary Benn says Labour is having a "very good night and a very good morning" in Leeds, where he's MP for the city's Central consituency, although full results are yet to be declared.

He admits it's a "mixed night" for his party across the country and says Labour "needs to win people's trust and confidence".

Asked whether Brexit was an issue at the polls, he recalls speaking to a former UKIP voter on the doorstep who said he would vote Labour this time around because the EU referendum had been dealt with.

Labour's hold on Sheffield town hall is mathematically safe, despite the party losing a couple of seats.
