A five-year plan to tackle homelessness in York is expected to be approved by councillors this week.

It aims to provide enough accommodation for rough sleepers and support services for mental health and substance misuse.

There are warnings rough sleeping is at its highest level in the city for 20 years, although the government has pledged to eliminate rough sleeping across the country by 2027.

Tim Carrol, who works with rough sleepers in York, says he welcomes a cash injection of £200,000 from the government to tackle the problem, but says more socially responsible investment is needed:

There's continuing concern over the planned route for the high-speed rail route (HS2) from London to Yorkshire.

Officials from HS2 met people in Mexborough, near Doncaster, last night.

They discussed more of the detail around construction and engineering works and the impact it will have on the local area.

Jim Robinson, whose been told at previous meetings his home would be demolished to make way for the line, says there is still a lot of confusion:

It'll be a fairly cloudy morning with a few bright spells, some light rain and drizzle.

The afternoon will be mostly dry with a better chance of some sunny spells developing.

Jordan Burling weighed less than six stone (37kg) and died after going into cardiac arrest in Leeds in 2016.

The court heard a statement from Sandra Detchon, who lived near the Farnley home Mr Burling shared with his mother Dawn Cranston, grandmother Denise Cranston and his uncle.

Mrs Detchon said she never saw Mr Burling play outside and Denise Cranston had told her Jordan had "died in her arms".

Mr Burling's mother Dawn Cranston, 45, grandmother Denise Cranston, 70, and his sister Abigail Burling, 25, all deny killing him.

Sheffield City Council is introducing a new city-wide traffic regulation order on pavement parking.

However, the council has stressed that people who need to park slightly on the pavement outside their home will not be penalised.

Parking wardens have already been pinpointing hot-spots to the council and when the scheme is rolled out in the new few weeks local residents will also be able to report problem areas.

A charity is helping to recycle almost 1,600 litres of paint each year for people in need to use.

Tiffany Rollins' 18-year-old brother, Dan, died in a collision in 2013.

She received the Inspiration Award for her work on a programme to educate young drivers.

Tiffany, 19, pictured with John Foster from North Yorkshire Fire Service and Temporary Chief Constable Lisa Winward, told a group of 17 to 21- year-olds how she felt when Dan died after his car hit an oncoming vehicle, and how it has affected her life ever since.

Speaking about the award she said: "I help with the presentations to push road safety to other young adults as I aim to prevent more road traffic collisions in the area.

"Most people think these things won’t happen to them and that they’re invincible, when in fact it can happen to anyone," she added.

Hundreds of newly planted saplings in Sheffield which have been vandalised or died will be replaced by contractors Amey, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The "extra heavy" saplings replaced the mature trees removed by Amey under the Streets Ahead contract but - 330 trees have either been vandalised or withered.

Since 2012, about 5,640 of the saplings have been planted.

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, campaigners dispute this and say many of the trees could and should be saved.

They want amendments made to the surrounding pavements and roads instead.
