Drivers in York will be asked to switch off their engines when parked and fined £20 if they refuse.

South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC), Alan Billings, says a demand by councillors for an extra 50 neighbourhood police officers next year is unlikely to be met.

Extra money from the government and higher council tax bills has already been earmarked to fund 40 more officers.

But the Police and Crime Panel, which oversees the work of the PCC, wanted that figure increased to 90.

Dr Billings, who is meeting South Yorkshire's Chief Constable today, says: "It cannot be done without causing damage elsewhere in the organisation.

"We don't want to pull police resources to bolster one place if it means it has weakened somewhere else."

Motorists who continue to park across dropped kerbs risk receiving a £70 fixed penalty notice from the council for causing an obstruction.

That's according to the clerk of the course at Catterick, where today's meeting has been cancelled because of the outbreak of equine flu.

Fiona Needham says North Yorkshire depends on the sport more than other counties.

She says: "The horses still have to be fed and worked, jockeys are self employed, valets are self employed - there's an awful lot of people who won't be earning money while this ban is going on."

Doncaster races were cancelled on Thursday, and all racing in Britain has been abandoned until at least Wednesday after an outbreak of equine flu.

More than a third of babies are living below the poverty line in the UK, a leading social research group has said.

The York-based Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) said low-paid families were struggling under a "rising tide of work poverty".

Despite the government saying 300,000 fewer children are living in absolute poverty than in 2010, baby banks said they were seeing an increase in users.

Vicki Miller (pictured), from Castleford, West Yorkshire, said: "I didn't know that support was out there."

There are more than 100 baby banks operating across the UK, providing essentials for newborns, including nappies, wipes and cots.

In an analysis of government data for the BBC, the JRF said in 2016-17 there were 302,838 children under the age of one living in families with a household income substantially below the UK average - its definition of poverty.

Ms Miller, first went to a food bank when her son was just five weeks old after she "went two weeks just living on baked beans".

She was then referred to the Tiny Hands baby bank in Pontefract when Charlie was 13-weeks-old.

"It was absolutely amazing receiving a gift of baby stuff which was going to benefit Charlie, it was the greatest thing ever."

Officers are appealing to anyone with dashcam footage of Anlaby Road, Walton Street and the Spring Bank area between midnight and 04:00 on Saturday morning to come forward.
