He was pronounced dead at the scene.

Mr Faley's family said: "Steve was a devoted father to his son and daughter, and a loving husband to Gillian.

“He was born and raised in Huddersfield, where many of his close family still live. Christmas trips to see his family were a particular highlight for Steve."

The service says this coming weekend is their busiest of the year, with private bonfire parties causing problems by "secondary fires" springing up.

These can include anything from grass fires to wheelie bin and rubbish fires, last year the service says it attended 68 of them.

WYFRS did stress though that it wants "families to enjoy the bonfire season," but stressed the best way to do it is to attend an organised event.

Police believe some of the vans are being followed and targeted because of the delivery company branding on the vehicles.

There are no plans to reintroduce Meningitis C immunisations for babies in Yorkshire and the Humber despite a rise in cases, health bosses say.

Across England, infections in children under one year of age jumped from four in 2017 to 15 in 2018, with eight of the incidents recorded in the Yorkshire and Humber region.

The Men C vaccine was administered for three-month-old babies until July 2016.

Paul Gott and Vikki Mitchell, from Bradford, whose daughter Kia (pictured) had all four limbs amputated after contracting the disease when she was just months old, are among those calling for Public Health England (PHE) to reintroduce the vaccine for babies.

Ms Mitchell said: "I know you can still contract it if you are vaccinated, but the vaccination stops the severity."

PHE said it had investigated the recent rise in cases in the region but found no evidence to suggest it was anything other than an "unfortunate but random event" and had no plans to reverse the decision.

It's inspired by the story of Julia Lee, the first woman to referee men playing the game.

Crossing the Line: Women in Rugby League 1950 to the Present Day will look at women involved in the game around Batley and Featherstone and will work with the clubs in the area.

It will lead to the creation of a website and an exhibition at the new National Rugby League Museum, opening in Bradford in 2020.

It is the first attempt to celebrate the pioneers of women in rugby in West Yorkshire, say organisers.

The mesh hoods are used to stop prisoners spitting at officers and have attracted controversy nationally.

In South Yorkshire there were 219 incidents of officers being spat at in just under six months earlier this year, with officers using spit guards on 24 occasions as a result.

Fifteen of those incidents were in custody suites and the other nine while prisoners were in the process of being transported between locations.

The force currently has 121 custody staff and 1,326 officers trained to use the spit guards, with a plan to now issue them to all operational officers across the force.

Roadworks on a Hull bridge are an essential part of plans to upgrade the main route into the city, according to the deputy leader of Hull City Council.

North Bridge is closed for resurfacing work and will be shut until the end of the week.

Commuters faced long delays during yesterday's morning rush hour, because another main route into the city was also blocked because of a burst water main.

Councillor Daren Hale, the deputy leader of Hull City Council, said the work was needed to allow more traffic to use the bridge when a major project to upgrade the A63 begins.

He said: "What this does show is the fragility of the road network, which is why we need the A63 upgrade, which is the driving force behind the works on North Bridge."

Councillor Douglas Johnson said: "Green Party councillors recently did some work in Highfield to clear abandoned bins from the streets and were shocked to see how many were never collected."

Neil Townrow, waste management officer at Sheffield City Council, said "The vast majority of collections take place as scheduled and less than 0.1 per cent of collections in the last year have been missed."
