It's understood Barnsley wanted Paul Hurst to take up the role at Oakwell, but missed out on him through his move to Ipswich Town.

City of York Council took £7.6m in parking fees and issued thousands of tickets to people driving in bus lanes last year, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

New figures show more than 2,500 fines have been issued to drivers using the Coppergate and Low Poppleton Lane bus lanes in the city since the start of 2018.

A report shows that despite an increase in parking fees income - from £7.4m in 2016-17 to £7.6m last year - the authority faced slightly higher costs and in 2017-18 made just over £4.8m.

That money has to be spent on public transport and highways with £4.1m going on the roads, £582,000 on bus subsidies, and about £114,000 on community transport and Shopmobility.

So far this year, 592 warning letters have been sent out as well as 456 penalty charge notices to drivers using bus lanes, the report shows.

People at risk of a mental health crisis in Sheffield will soon be able to access a new support service thanks to a £429,000 funding boost.

The money will be used to develop a new Psychiatric Decision Unit (PDU) at the Longley Centre at the Northern General Hospital.
