Connexions Buses was hit in a crackdown after parking on the Stray at York Place and Knaresborough Road in Harrogate.

Connexions boss Craig Temple said: "We have an obligation to have sufficient resources to cover our services should anything go wrong such as a breakdown, or a vehicle held up in accident or roadworks.

"To maintain this, we have to have at least one bus parked within easy reach of Harrogate Bus Station because we are based at least 30 minutes away."

Mr Temple added: "Where we've been parking hasn't got double yellows or any sort of parking restriction."

North Yorkshire County Council say the issue started in November and confirmed eight tickets were issued in a one week period in January by North Yorkshire Police.

Mr Temple claimed the tickets have since been rescinded, but a North Yorkshire Police spokesperson wasn't able to confirm this.

A private company will hand out fines to people who drop litter in Hull under a new scheme due to be tried out by the city council.

Hull City Council says the 12-month pilot run will also target dog owners who fail to clean-up after their pets.

The council will use a private company as it doesn't have enough of its own staff to take action against people who litter.

There are expected to be between four and six staff working around the city handing out fines of about £100, with the final figure yet to be set.

Doug Sharp, from Hull City Council, said: "It would send out a real message. People would think twice about doing it because if they got caught doing it it would cost them."

The samples will be analysed in Thailand, and the results sent to the police investigating the death of a woman whose body was found in a stream in the Yorkshire Dales in 2004.

Scientific tests suggest the woman lived in South Cumbria or North Lancashire in the years before she died.

Last week a couple from Thailand, Joomsri Seekanya, 72, and her husband Buasa, told a news conference last week their daughter, Lamduan, married a British man in 1991 and moved to north-west England shortly after.

They had heard nothing from her since 2004.
