Almost two years after it was first proposed, a planning application has been submitted to build a 300-metre long flood protection wall along the side of the town's Church Street.

The plan was first proposed following the devastating tidal surge of December 2014, which plunged Whitby into darkness and saw scores of properties and homes left flooded.

It is currently estimated that approximately 60 properties are at direct risk from another flood, with more than 20 of them listed buildings.

The Environment Agency will pay £672,000 of the total cost.

James MacKenzie, who runs the Pipe and Glass Inn (pictured) in South Dalton, East Yorkshire, is backing Filey's fishermen who say measures designed to protect salmon stocks would put them out of business.

The chef, who trained in Scarborough, said "just a handful" of salmon are landed in Filey and these are returned to the sea.

He said: "They're responsible fishermen and they don't want to see the salmon stocks depleted."

A temporary reprieve has been secured on proposed changes,which now won't come into force until at least 2020.

His views were echoed by the North York Moors National Park:

Rotherham Council have approved plans to close day centres for those with learning disabilities, despite protests by families and carers today.

Rotherham Council said the new arrangements, which will provide carers, should offer an improved service, though it also acknowledged the authority has to save money as part of the ongoing austerity cuts.

Council leader Chris Reid told the meeting: "We have to recognise that councils make difficult decisions about the best way to provide services.

"That is what we are trying to do and what we will continue to do. I hope very much what you will see are better services for people with disabilities and better support.

"I know it is upsetting and emotional. We have to make the right decisions, we have to make the calls."

Justice minister Rory Stewart has suggested eliminating sentences of under 12 months for all but the most serious offences.

Joan Lawrence, from Malton, says more needs to be done to help with the "trauma" caused by crime as at the moment "everything is for the perpetrator".

She said: "The money they're going to save by not sending people to prison, perhaps they will use it to help the victims, to help us."

It is suspected that Claudia, who went missing from York more than nine years ago, was murdered although her body has never been found.

Further plans for the redevelopment of Sheffield Ski Village have been revealed.

The £30m revamp will see new slopes and a ski lodge built alongside state of the art mountain bike tracks.

The Duchy of Lancaster, which manages the Queen's land, estates and assets, wanted to renovate and alter the use of a cottage within the grounds of Tickhill Castle.

The application was deferred at a previous meeting for a structural report on the building.

Principal planning officer Gareth Stent said the building was structurally sound after an inspection by the council's building control team in 2016.

Councillors on the planning committee went against the recommendation of planning officers and rejected the plan.

They claimed it was detrimental to the castle nearby.

It is understood the Duchy of Lancaster will appeal the decision.
