But Peter Ayling, president of the East Yorkshire and Derwent Ramblers Association, says it will be a diversion too far and people will still simply cross wherever they find it easiest.

A tweet by South Yorkshire Police encouraging people to report non-crimes to them has drawn criticism:

The tweet has attracted more than 3,300 comments, most of them accusing the force of wasting its own time and resources.

Many responses reprimand the force for suggesting if someone finds something offensive they might report the matter to the police at a time when resources are already stretched.

The BBC has approached the force for comment.

Labour MPs in Yorkshire have criticised proposals for new parliamentary boundaries which could see the number of MPs across the UK cut from 650 to 600.

The Boundary Commission proposals, which still need to secure the backing of MPs and peers, have been laid in Parliament.

The commission said it was "confident" in its new map, which covers constituencies across the UK.

The plans could have a major effect on Yorkshire constituencies with several boundaries changed across the area, external.

Sam Hartley, secretary to the commission, said: "We're confident the new map of constituencies best reflects the rules set for us by Parliament .

"We're especially pleased our recommendations are based heavily on what members of the public have told us about their local areas."

But Hemsworth Labour MP John Trickett said the plans were a "disgrace" and a "Tory stitch-up", while Wentworth Labour MP John Healey said it was a "political fix".

The Conservatives have insisted the system is currently weighed against them and the boundaries - decided by population figures - are out of date.

Leeds City Council could have to dip into its savings account in order to pay for services over the next few years, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Shaun Lyall's body was discovered when officers were called to a house in Sidney Street on Tuesday 17 July.

The pictures, taken from CCTV footage in Grimsby on the day Mr Lyall's body was found, show Abdi Ali, who police say is a "significant suspect" in the investigation.

He is said to have "strong links" with the Somalian community in Sheffield as well as with drug users in Grimsby, Cleethorpes and Sheffield.

Police say they're appealing for help and information from those communities.

Det Insp Rebecca Dickinson, from Humberside Police, says: "He is a habitual drug user and we are looking at needle exchanges, drop-in centres, drug support units as well as hospitals to see if he attends any."

Abdi Ali is described as having "quite a muscular build" and police believe he could have grown a beard and his gold tooth could have been removed.

The accused appeared in court after a man suffered minor injuries in Barnsley.

Some of the bizarre reasons people have rung 999 have been released by West Yorkshire Police, including someone who was sent the wrong clothes order:

Other reasons for calling the emergency number included a broken freezer, a missing packet of rice and even advice on a mobile phone contract.

Police have released the audio of some calls to highlight how call handlers' time is taken away from genuine emergency calls.

Tom Donohoe, head of the force's Communications Division, said: "These calls are so ridiculous it’s astonishing listening to them. But they hide a serious truth.

"Each call often takes minutes to deal with as our Customer Contact Centre staff have to clarify the situation.

"It might not sound like much, but if someone is trying to get through to report a genuine life or death emergency then a minute is a very long time to wait."

Sheffield's Lord Mayor Magid Magid is hoping to raise a record-breaking £100,000 by May for three small but "life-saving" city charities, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

The three charities he has chosen are Sheffield Flourish, which supports people with mental health issues, Unity Gym Project, which helps young people, and Sheffield Women's Counselling and Therapy Services, which supports women who have suffered abuse or trauma.

The open letter adds: "Seeing groups of young people risking their lives, and those of others, in the manner of their driving.

"Colleagues stopping vehicles and trying to give advice, prosecuting where necessary, trying desperately to get the groups of people to see the potential for their actions.

"So a plea from all those of the South Yorkshire Roads Policing Unit, please, please, please stop. Stop risking your lives. Enjoy the location and showing your vehicles off."
