The number of firearms offences recorded in Yorkshire has doubled since 2013.

Five years ago there were around 400 offences a year, but that's increased to more than 800.

In West Yorkshire, crimes involving a firearm increased from 253 to 439, a rise of 74%.

West Yorkshire Police Assistant Chief Constable, Tim Kingsman, said there were times when resources were stretched and he had no option but to make demands of the same people.

ACC Kingsman said: "We're asking them at times to do 12-hour shifts, day after day after day, and that will stretch them physically and emotionally.

He added: "Last year we did 896 firearms operations as West Yorkshire Police, which is quite a number, that's two or three a day."

North Yorkshire County Councillor Don MacKenzie says it takes the stress out of finding a space.

Councillor Mackenzie says: "It enables people to park as close to where it is they need to go and not worry about how much change they have in their pocket."

Barnsley ranks as the city with Britain's most cuts, with a 41% reduction in its day-to-day council spending since 2009.

Sir Stephen Houghton, leader of Barnsley Council, said the authority had lost £107m due to funding cuts and had axed four out of 10 jobs.

He added the cuts had forced the council to make "unpopular decisions" such as increasing council tax.

Wakefield has seen the fourth biggest drop in council spending across the country since 2010.

Experts at the Centre for Cities Institute say Bradford and Leeds have also been affected by large cuts to their funding, as part of government efforts to reduce the deficit.

The government has promised councils a "real-terms increase" in spending power for 2019 to 2020.

The body was discovered in a stream near Pen-y-ghent, in the Yorkshire Dales, in 2004.

Police said she may have been a "Thai bride". On Thursday a Thai couple came forward to say they believed she may be their daughter, Lamduan Seekanya.
