This month, a total of 16 businesses in the town centre have been burgled, nine of those in the last two weeks.

One of those affected is Torrs English Deli on Printing Office Street (pictured) which has been broken into three times.

One person has been arrested in connection with the Torrs Deli break-in, say police, and extra resources are now being deployed in a bid to tackle the wider problem.

Hopes that Leeds Arena would help regenerate the city centre have not gone to plan.

The claim's been made in a Leeds City Council report, external looking at plans to demolish the Wetherspoons pub opposite the 13,500-capacity venue.

Proposals for the site include building a 25-storey student accommodation block in place of the pub.

Before it was opened in 2013, it was hoped the £60m arena would lead to the economic regeneration of that part of Leeds city centre and would be the catalyst for new investment.

The report notes that while this has happened on part of Merrion Way, "despite a number of schemes previously coming forward, the area between Merrion Way and the arena remains largely unimproved".

If you're travelling on a train from Leeds today you might want to check for delays or cancellations.

Northern is warning of some minor disruption to services there:

Sheffield City Council say it's disappointing that the city hasn't made the shortlist for Channel 4's national headquarters.

However, it's still in the running to house one of the broadcaster's "creative hubs" and councillor Mazher Iqbal says the authority will "make the very best case for Sheffield".

Mr Iqbal says: "Our unique offer includes the biggest theatre complex outside of London and a thriving film and digital sector.

"We've demonstrated what a creative hub would mean for a generation of talented film, media and production students."

The move would see about 300 of the broadcaster's 800 employers moved out of London to the new regional base.

Meanwhile, Sheffield City Region's new mayor Dan Jarvis says: "While we may not be the chosen location for the new HQ, we can still harness our efforts to bring C4 to Yorkshire."

The A59 between Harrogate and Skipton is an important trans-Pennine route, but has a history of instability and movement of the land at Kex Gill.

The most recent landslip, in January 2016, led to the road being shut for eight weeks.

North Yorkshire County Council say inspections will be carried out later today.

It says the safety of road users must be its priority and has apologised for any inconvenience.

Diversions are in place via Ilkley and Otley.

The only known surviving portrait of the famous Bronte sisters together is to be returned to their home in Yorkshire.

The artwork, by the authors' brother Branwell, was painted in 1834 and has been at the National Portrait Gallery for over three decades.

It's returning to the Bronte Parsonage Museum in Haworth for the first time since 1984.

Almost two centuries since it was painted at the family home, what appears to be a pale ghost has gradually appeared behind the "pillar" which separates the sisters.

Tests in 2015 revealed Branwell had originally included himself in the painting, but then painted himself out..

The painting will be on display throughout June, July and August, to mark 200 years since Emily Bronte's birth.
