Three-year-old Rocco Wright had gone to a swimming lesson at the David Lloyd Fitness Club in Moortown with his father and sister when the incident happened.

Last week's inquest into his death heard that Rocco wandered off while his father spoke to an instructor at the fitness club on 21 April.

Moments later, Rocco was seen floating in the deep end of the pool.

A pathologist said further tests were needed to establish cause of death.

Rocco's been described as the "happiest boy you could ever meet" and family tributes said he "truly loved life".

The councillor responsible for Sheffield's tree replacement programme has stood down from the role.

Councillor Bryan Lodge, who had been Cabinet Member for Environment and Streetscene for two years, will remain as a councillor.

In a Facebook post, Mr Lodge said: "It's been an interesting/challenging two years. I'm proud to have worked with such a dedicated, hardworking and professional team of people.

"Never let the truth get lost in the aggressive, nasty and personal abuse directed at us," he added.

The tree felling is part of Sheffield City Council's £2bn Streets Ahead project, aimed at improving roads and footpaths in the city. About 5,500 trees have been cut down since 2012.

The council, which is planting new trees after removing existing ones, insists the trees earmarked for felling are either "dangerous, dead, diseased, dying, damaging or discriminatory".

However, many of the trees classed by the council as "damaging" or "discriminatory" are healthy specimens which campaigners say should be saved. Instead, they say amendments should be made to surrounding pavements and roads.

Firefighters have spent the night tackling a blaze at a commercial garage in Doncaster.

About six crews, that's 30 firefighters, spent the night dealing with the fire.

The cause of the blaze isn't known and a full investigation's been launched, the fire service says.

Rail passengers across Yorkshire face another day of strike action.

Services run by Northern could be disrupted as members of the RMT union walk out again in their ongoing dispute over driver-only operated trains.

The union says scrapping guards and introducing driver-only operated trains risks passenger safety.

But the rail companies have insisted the move is safe and already widely used.

Sharon Keith, from Northern, says it's not about cutting staff:

It is understood the towns and cities hosting start and finish lines for the four-day race which took place last weekend spent up to £250,000, while North Yorkshire County Council has spent £180,000 on the race for the last two years.

Councillor Eric Broadbent, leader of North Yorkshire County Council's Labour group, said while it was clear a large proportion of the county's investment had been used to bring the race route to a "pristine standard", other roads had been left "looking like a meteor had hit them".

Council leaders say they have a duty to the businesses to promote Yorkshire as a popular place for people to visit.

Hambleton District Council's leader, Councillor Mark Robson, said the authority's £25,000 outlay on items such as safety barriers had brought clear dividends to the local economy, with lengthy queues outside a wide variety of shops.
