A Pankhurst Party will be held in Leeds on Sunday to celebrate one hundred years since women getting the vote.

Hundreds of parties are taking place around the UK to mark the birthday of Suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst.

The Leeds event starts at 10.30 on the Leeds Town Hall steps in Victoria Square.

A wreath will also be laid in honour of Emmeline Pankhurst who was born on 14 July, 1858, in Moss Side, Manchester.

In 1903 she, along with daughters Sylvia and Christabel, founded the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) in a bid to get British women the right to vote.

National organiser Fleur Butler, said: "We need more women to take part in public life as councillors, school governors, MPs, Assembly Members, Mayors, Police & Crime Commissioners, MSPs and Magistrates.

"We want women not just to vote but to stand for public office as well.”

The incident happened in York on Tuesday.

Lewis Matthew Berkley (pictured) was the first person in York to be the subject of a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO).

The court order prevents Berkley interacting with four named people and trying to disguise his identity with a hood when in public.

In September 2017 he was released from prison for burglary and theft offences.

He is described as white with mousey hair and brown eyes and about 5ft 10ins tall.

Police believe he may currently be in the Clifton area of York and want to hear from anyone who knows anything about his whereabouts.

The latest announcement by the company's administrators Deloitte means that a total of 105 of the company's 355 stores are now earmarked for closure.

Poundworld, which has a number of stores across Yorkshire, went into administration last month after failing to cope with rising costs, fewer shoppers and greater competition.

Deloitte said talks to sell the remaining parts of the business continue.

Poundworld was founded in 2004, but the firm can trace its origins back to 1974 and a market stall in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, according to the company's website.

Chris Edwards, who founded the firm, sold out to TPG for £150m, and later took over at rival Poundstretcher.

Earlier this month he had a rescue bid for the chain rejected and pulled out of any future deals.

The RSPCA are appealing for information after two gerbils were found dumped in a plastic box in Sheffield.

The gerbils, called Longclaw and Needle, were found in a storage box outside student accommodation in Priory Place, Sheffield on Monday 9 July.

RSPCA Inspector Kim Greaves who collected the gerbils, said it's very sad to see animals abandoned and wants to find out who did it.

“No matter how many times I come across dumped animals, I still find it incredibly surprising that someone can do this.

"Unfortunately, we live in a disposable, throwaway society so even though these are sentient beings they are still dumped when their owner decides they no longer want them."

Luckily, the gerbils have now been rehoused.
