A search has been launched along the east coast of Yorkshire for a missing wallaby.

It's gone from the Bird Garden and Animal Park on Scarborough Road in Filey.

Apparently, the wallaby in question had only been a resident for one day before making off:

Double yellow lines will be painted along the whole length of Clarkehouse Road in a bid to make it safer for cyclists.

Sheffield City Council says it will also help traffic flow more easily and safely and improve visibility on side roads, especially at Park Lane, Broomgrove Crescent and Rutland Park.

It will mean the loss of 86 parking spaces along the road, which is close to the Botanical Gardens and Ecclesall Road.

The move has been welcomed by cycling groups, but there have been objections from the Botanical Gardens, which fears visitors will struggle to attend, and from local residents and businesses.

Sheffield Council contacted 144 properties on Clarkehouse Road along with Birkdale Preparatory School, the Botanical Gardens, CycleSheffield and King Edwards Swimming Pool.

It received 111 responses, of which 101 were supportive, with nine against.

Sir Norman Bettison was a chief inspector with South Yorkshire Police (SYP) at the time of the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

Nine years later, he applied for the job of Merseyside's chief constable. He also later led the West Yorkshire force.

Sir Norman was accused of untruthfully describing his role in SYP's response to Hillsborough as "peripheral" in a comment to the then Chief Inspector of Constabulary Sir David O'Dowd.

He was also accused of lying to Merseyside Police Authority when he said he had never attempted to shift blame for the disaster "on to the shoulders of Liverpool supporters".

Sir Norman, of Barnsley, South Yorkshire was alleged to have lied in a statement issued on 13 September 2012, following the publication of the Hillsborough Independent Panel report, when he said he had never offered any interpretation other than that the behaviour of Liverpool fans had not caused the disaster.

He was also accused of misconduct over a statement released the following day in which he said he had never "besmirched" Liverpool fans.

A sinkhole has opened up at the rear of a North Yorkshire supermarket, the fire service say.

The hole appeared behind the Sainsbury's store on Market Place in Ripon.

North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue say nobody has been injured and they're looking into it:

Under the Victims’ Right to Review Scheme, the family members of those who died in the Hillsborough disaster do have the right to request a review of the decision to discontinue the criminal charges against Sir Norman Bettison.

If such a review is requested it will be carried out by a lawyer with no prior involvement in the case.

The Hillsborough Family Support Group, which supports the majority of the 96 bereaved families, says it has "grave concerns" in the wake of the decision to formally drop criminal proceedings against Sir Norman Bettison.

Crime at airports has doubled in two years, but Leeds Bradford Airport has the lowest number of offences.

There were 5,234 crimes at or close to airports in England and Wales in 2017, compared with 2,432 in 2015.

However, there was just 271 offences at Leeds Bradford airport.

Passengers travelling with banned items like CS spray, knives and air rifles are partly to blame for a doubling of crime at airports in two years, police have said.

The Crown Prosecution Service has explained why criminal charges against Sir Norman Bettison over the aftermath of the 1989 Hillsborough disaster have been dropped.

The decision was taken following a review of the evidence and was confirmed at a hearing at Preston Crown Court this morning.
