The reduction of a popular bus service to Bridlington will disadvantage elderly people wanting to visit the resort, according to Bridlington's tourism association.

The Coastliner bus service, which runs from Leeds to Bridlington,is being cut from three daily buses to just one.

The association has appealed to the operators to think again, but it's believed they have been battling rising operating costs.

More than 6,000 people have signed a petition calling for Magid Magid to be removed as Sheffield's Lord Mayor.

It comes after the Green councillor announced last week that Donald Trump is banned from the city during his state visit to the UK.

The petition writer says: "Councillor Magid is bringing the role into disrepute and turning the city into a laughing stock."

Another petition, started to gain support for the mayor, says "Magid is a noble individual who cares about the city of Sheffield."

It's so far been signed by 219 fewer people than the petition calling for the Lord Mayor's removal.

The study, commissioned by Welcome to Yorkshire, shows more than two and a half million spectators lined the route over the four days of action in May.

Even our buses are getting in on the action:
