A campaign to cut the use of plastic bottles is to be stepped up in York.

At a meeting later the City of York Council is expected to promote places where water bottles can be filled up for free.

As part of the Yorkshire On Tap, external initiative, shops and restaurants will be invited to become refill stations and customers will also be able to collect reward points through an app.

Similar campaigns are already being run across North Yorkshire.

Rob Matthews whose Chatterbox community café is a water refill station in Selby, says: "It's something that works and could and should be pushed into many more businesses."

Jasmine Chappell works at a shop in York which is already part of the refill scheme.

She says: "Customers bring in their own containers so we don't use another plastic one.

"We also use paper bags instead of plastic ones which is taking off very well."

A council report about the scheme says: "As well as reducing single-use plastics in the city, this proposal will also be encouraging people to live healthier lives by drinking more water."

Christmas might be starting to seem like a distant memory for many of us, but for millions of people around the world 7 January is the real Christmas Day.

It's because they use the Julian calendar to work out what day Christmas should be celebrated on.
