A town mayor has failed in his legal bid to challenge government policy on how fracking applications are handled.

Business Secretary Greg Clark announced measures in May to help speed up decisions on planning proposals connected to hydraulic fracturing.

Fracking is drilling into the earth and directing a high-pressure water mixture at the rock in order to release gas inside.

In the High Court, Paul Andrews, the mayor of Malton, North Yorkshire, argued it "fundamentally changes" guidance to local planning authorities.

However, Judge Justice Holgate found his judicial review bid was "unarguable".

Gas company Third Energy was granted permission to begin hydraulic fracturing at Kirby Misperton in May 2016, at an existing well sunk in 2013.

Anti-fracking protesters gathered day and night until March, when the company moved some equipment from the site.

Third Energy is awaiting final consent to frack from the government.

The new service in Leeds is to provide treatments for severe or complex gambling problems.

The mayor of Malton says he is "going to consider an appeal" after challenging a government policy.
