A number of cats have been killed after dog attacks in Scarborough, according to police.

Officers are trying to identify who owns the dog or dogs involved and want to hear from anyone with video or photographs of attacks taking place in the Barrowcliffe area.

Since the start of June there are believed to have been a number of incidents, with officers now working with Scarborough Borough Council’s dog warden team to find out more.

In a statement, North Yorkshire Police said: "We understand the incidents have caused concern in the local community and are appealing to local people to come forward with any information to enable us to investigate further."

The NHS Trust at the centre of a planned two-week strike by staff in Bradford has denied "backdoor privatisation" claims.

Bradford Teaching Hospitals Trust wants to transfer workers such as porters and cleaners to a new subsidiary company.

More than 300 staff from the trust's estates and facilities team are set to strike for two weeks starting on 1 August as a result of the move, with an option for continuous strike action.

In a statement, the trust has said it will "never sell off the company; it will always be 100% owned by the NHS" and that this was the best long-term option.

Staff will have their terms and conditions and NHS pension scheme protected, the trust added.

More than half of next year's Tramlines festival tickets have already been sold, organisers say.

About 7,000 people were in a queuing system on the website at 18:00 yesterday when the "super early bird tickets" went on sale for the Sheffield event.

However, there have been complaints from people who have been charged for tickets despite not getting a confirmation email, with some applicants saying they'd been charged twice.

Timm Cleasby, who is from Tramlines, said there is a process to get money back after issues caused by "overwhelming demand".

"There were some issues definitely. If people have been charged twice or if they've been charged and not had a confirmation, the ticketing company will work with people on a case-by-case basis and sort out problems they've got," Mr Cleasby said.

He was confirmed as Newcastle boss on a three-year deal, taking coaches Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence with him.

The Owls, whose Championship campaign starts in 10 days, have yet to name a replacement for Bruce.

In a statement, the South Yorkshire club said: "Following Newcastle United's announcement on 17 July 2019 of its appointment of former Sheffield Wednesday staff Steve Bruce, Steve Agnew and Stephen Clemence, the club confirms that it has today reported Newcastle United's conduct to the Premier League."

Buskers in York could see enforcement action taken against them if people complain they're making too much noise.

The city council has issued new guidelines which say music shouldn't be amplified between 21:00 and 08:00.

Buskers also shouldn't stay in one area for more than two hours, the guidance says.

Regular York busker Dave Morris said he understands why the new advice has been issued.

"I think it's right to keep the volume to a reasonable level. I think there are quite a few people that play very loud and I can understand that problem," says Mr Morris.
