More than 40 "illegal" clothing banks have been removed from Bradford's streets in the past month.

Some of the bins were found to contain needles, soiled clothing and had been badly damaged by arson attacks.

Bradford Council says bins are often built on sites without the landowner's permission, and can block paths.

Almost two tonnes of textiles recovered from the bins have been donated to a recycling partner for Yorkshire Air Ambulance and other charities.

The unclaimed banks will be recycled for scrap metal.

Councillor Alex Ross-Shaw, Bradford Council's Executive Member for Regeneration, Planning and Transport, said: "No-one really knows where the items in these illegal clothing bins end up, but most of the time they don't benefit charity."

The council have advised residents to take donations to charity shops.

A body which was found in the Humber estuary yesterday has been passed to the Hull coroner for identification.

Nicholas Howard, the owner of Castle Howard, says he's ready to support anti-fracking campaigners who are planning protests at the Tour de Yorkshire later this year.

Protestors say they're angry energy company Ineos, which has a number of shale gas drilling licences in North Yorkshire, is taking over the Team Sky cycling team, and its first race will be the Tour de Yorkshire in May.

Nicholas Howard, who runs the stately home 15 miles north of York, says: "Apart from anything else, taken as a whole, fracking is dirtier than coal as a fuel, so it's not the pathway to a low carbon economy that it's often claimed to be.

"If they go past here I will run up and shout my protests at them."

The BBC has asked Ineos for a comment and are waiting for a response.

Richard Hawley may not seem like the most obvious musician to get a stage musical, but a new show using the Sheffield crooner's songs opened in his home city last night. And it’s really good.

Standing At The Sky’s Edge - named after his Mercury Prize-nominated 2012 album - is set in the ugly/beautiful Park Hill estate, which dominates the city centre skyline.

It cleverly tells the overlapping stories of the residents of a single flat over three eras, from the 60s to the present day, exploring what makes four walls a home.

The fabulous playwright Chris Bush has penned the script, and Hawley has provided music from the titular album and elsewhere in his solo career along with some new material.

The songs occasionally feel shoehorned, but more often than not the emotional force, romance and melodrama of Hawley’s music matches the story and mood of the show, adding up to something more potent than other more superficial musicals.

Standing at the Sky's Edge is at the Sheffield Crucible until 6 April.

A Halifax MP is claiming roughly a third of all the investigations carried out by West Yorkshire Police are focused on child abuse cases.

England's oldest horse race is celebrating its 500th birthday today.

The Kiplingcotes Derby is believed to have been run near Market Weighton in East Yorkshire every March since 1519.

It's a four-mile flat race on farm lanes and tracks, with rules which state if the race is not run one year, it must never be run again.

Entrants turn up on the day, so no one knows until the morning of the race, how many riders will take part.

Bad weather last year meant a single horse had to be led round the track, just to keep the tradition going.
