Later this evening, the National Education Union - which represents teachers and support staff - will hold a public meeting ahead of the possible strike action on Wednesday at Bradfield School.

The compulsory redundancies of 15 teachers as well as concerns about poor financial management, will be discussed at the meeting, the union says.

The school also recently announced it was to close its sixth form.

Subsequent strike days are also being considered by the union for after the Easter holidays.

Bradfield School has been contacted by the BBC for a statement.

Officers say a black Astra, registration YS05 CDK, and a blue Mazda 3 were in collision on Birkby Lodge Road, Birkby, at about 15:50 on 13 March.

The Astra had been in collision with a blue BMW on nearby Grimescar Avenue a few minutes before the second collision.

Police say it was later abandoned on a patch of grass on Birkby Lodge Road and the driver then made off.

He is described as mixed race, about 6ft tall, aged about 30, with dark brown eyes and short tightly curled black hair.

Anyone who can identify the driver of the Astra, or who saw him leave the scene, is being asked to contact police.

Daniel Lickess, 29, had been "showing off" in the Subaru Impreza when he lost control, a court hears.

There has been a call to name a new development in Sheffield "Redgates" after the much-loved toy shop which used to be on the site.

The building, on Furnival Gate, was demolished last year as part of ongoing redevelopment work and will eventually house H&M and New Look.

Developers have already said they won't be naming the building, but have offered to put up a plaque instead.

Former Redgates worker Maggie Cotton is leading the calls for the site's toy shop heritage to be marked as part of the new development.

Last year, she went back to the store as demolition work was under way:

Talk about living life on the edge...

A popular East Yorkshire footpath has reopened after "rock armour" was installed to protect the nearby railway line from erosion.

The path, which runs between Hessle and North Ferriby, has been closed since December after Network rail detected ground movement there.

Network Rail says it's currently working on plans for a permanent fix to the erosion problem.

An independent review's to be held into the way Yorkshire's tourist board handled investigations into allegations of bullying and "errors of judgement" in relation to expenses claims by its former chief executive.

Sir Gary Verity resigned from his role at Welcome to Yorkshire last week on health grounds.

In a statement Sir Gary apologised if he had not met "the highest standards of personal performance".

The BBC has since learned there have been four separate investigations into Sir Gary's conduct.

Yesterday, an ex-colleague of Sir Gary Verity told the BBC Sir Gary had subjected staff to "completely unacceptable" behaviour.

Ex-head of communications, Dee Marshall, said he had "really hurt people" in the organisation.

Welcome To Yorkshire's Chairman Ron McMillan says: "The board has committed to an independent review which we will hopefully kick off in the next week or two.

"The result of that will have to be considered by the board and if the conclusion of that review is that I have fallen short of the standards required, then I will do the honourable thing and resign."

The York Central scheme includes 120,000 sq m of new office space and 2,500 homes, with a development value of £623m, the city council said.

It's expected the scheme would take 15 to 20 years to complete.

The outline planning application for York Central, which it's thought will create up to 6,500 jobs, was approved at a council planning committee last night.

The meeting lasted more than five hours and heard from 31 public speakers.

The scheme, which covers 45 hectares of brownfield land, is one of the largest regeneration sites in England.

It includes the expansion of the National Railway Museum, new hotels, the country’s first railway park, and a new entrance to the railway station.

A spokesperson for York Central Partnership said: "This represents the biggest opportunity to transform York in generations.

"The decision marks a huge step forward in bringing much needed homes and jobs into the city."

Work is expected to start on site later this year.

The stage collapse which killed a South Yorkshire drum technician at a Radiohead concert caused lasting "immeasurable pain and grief" for the band, a Canadian coroner's inquest has heard.

Radiohead drummer Philip Selway told the inquest the 2012 incident still haunts the band.

Scott Johnson, from Doncaster, died at Toronto's Downsview Park when the stage collapsed an hour before the gates opened.

An Ontario coroner is conducting an inquest into the deadly incident.

In testimony on Monday in Toronto, Mr Selway described the "anger and frustration" felt by the UK band, its crew members and Mr Johnson's parents in the wake of the incident.

He said they have been left with a sense of a "complete failure of the justice system" in the case.

Radiohead was set to perform a sold-out show in Toronto when the stage's metal scaffold roofing - tens of thousands of pounds of steel and equipment - collapsed onto crew members on stage at the time.

Mr Johnson was killed and three other people were injured.

The inquiry also heard on Monday from Ken Johnson, the father of the deceased drum technician, who himself works as a scaffolding safety inspector,

He told the BBC he is hopeful that the inquest will result in better safety measures in the future.

The document, from the reign of King John, was issued on 26 March 1200 - exactly 819 years ago.

Radiohead drummer Philip Selway told a coroner's inquest the band is still "haunted" by the incident.

Police say they are treating the death of the 21-year-old student as a "homicide investigation".
