The road, which had been shut off between Innovation Drive and Air Street since mid-February, was due to reopen in early May, but was delayed due to prolonged work.

It was then expected to reopen this month, but the Environment Agency say it's now been delayed until September.

The agency's spending more than £36m on flood protection in the area, and says the work along a 657ft (200m) stretch of the River Hull will provide protection for more than 60,000 properties.

It said the current defences could fail within two years if it was not undertaken.

Flooding affected more than 10,000 properties in the city in 2007.

Six fire engines were sent to the scene at the playing field, in Dodworth near Barnsley, at about 18:00 last night.

Phil McNulty saw the blaze and says if most of the grass hadn't been cut last week by the council, the fire would have been far more dangerous.

"The fire spread very quickly.

"When it got to the parts that the council have left, there's a banking that they've left and that went in six seconds. It shot up there then up the trees.

"I do believe the fire would have spread much more quicker had it not been cut."

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder, after two shootings in Bradford in the early hours of Monday.

A 17-year-old male and a 20-year-old male arrested on Tuesday have been released under investigation.

Officers say nine other people have been arrested for assisting an offender.

Detectives believe the incidents are linked and both are being treated as targeted attacks.
