Ripon Community Link says it had to take support away their support and cut a dozen staff jobs after changes to its funding.

Val Cocker's son Stephen is one of those who lost his support when the charity closed its day centre on Friday.

Mrs Cocker, from Bedale, said: "He was deemed to be too disabled to use this service after being here for four years.

"The worst thing is, a lot of the people really don't know what's going on. They expect to be coming but they have to stay at home," she added.

A bright start and then expect a warm, dry and sunny day.

Watch my full forecast here:

The group, called Mums United, was formed to try and stop young people getting involved in gangs and anti-social behaviour.

Data collected by BBC One's Rip Off Britain has revealed that more than half of councils had introduced charges.

Residents' green waste was previously paid for through the council tax by most local authorities.

The Local Government Association said councils were forced to charge because they face a £5bn shortfall in funding from central government.

Harlow in Essex has the highest average cost at £96 a year, while Richmond in North Yorkshire has the second lowest average cost at just £22 a year.

The driver and occupants of a car involved in a collision in Doncaster at the weekend are being asked by police to come forward.

The crash, which happened at about 12:45 on Sunday, involved a blue Ford Focus and a white Vauxhall Vivaro which was parked in Askern Road, Bentley.

The driver of the Ford, which police say was "significantly damaged", is reported to have left the scene - and it's thought a child may also have been in the vehicle at the time.

Anyone who witnessed the crash is being asked to contact police.

The man behind a temporary replica venue says the Bard would recognise it (except the scaffolding).

Virgin Trains stopped running services on the route, which goes through Leeds, York and Doncaster, because it wasn't making enough money.

As of yesterday, the route has been nationalised until a new operator is found.

For the time being it's called London North Eastern Railway, or LNER.

If you're making a journey on the rails in Yorkshire today, all services seem to be running pretty much to time at the moment.
