People in York are being asked for their views over the latest plans for developing the historic Clifford's Tower site.

It is the second scheme proposed by English Heritage for the 13th Century landmark.

The new plans retain the walkways and a roof deck proposed in an earlier scheme which was abandoned last year.

A new visitor centre, which prompted significant objections to the earlier scheme, is not included in the new proposals.

English Heritage initially proposed to build a £2m visitor centre at the base of the mound the tower sits on.

However, objectors claimed it resembled a toilet block, would destroy the view and have a detrimental effect on the appearance of the area.

English Heritage withdrew its plans due to the opposition in 2018.

The new public consultation is set to run until December and will be followed by a planning application. If approved work will begin in 2020, according to the organisation.

Plans to create new visitor attractions celebrating Hull's long maritime history - which have today been given a multi-million pound cash boost - have been branded a "game-changer".

Under the proposals, the Arctic Corsair, Hull's last sidewinder trawler, will be moved to a dry dock at the North End Shipyard as part of a new visitor attraction.

The Dock Office Chambers will also be refurbished and a new maritime route which will guide visitors through the heart of the city to the River Hull will be created.

The National Lottery Heritage fund is to award £13.6m towards the £27.4m needed to get the project afloat, it's been confirmed today.

Councillor Daren Hale says: “This is a real game-changer for Hull. This is continued investment and regeneration for our city and our proud heritage."

The scheme will "bring far-reaching benefits for everyone as well as reaffirming our role as a thriving cultural and maritime city", he added.

More than 20 tonnes of rubbish including car tyres and shopping trolleys have been dumped by fly-tippers around Bradford's Forster Square railway station.

A new unit which has been set up to try to reduce and prevent violence across South Yorkshire has been officially launched this week.

It's called the Violence Reduction Unit and it's getting £1.6m of funding from the government.

The Home Office funding is to pay for a violence reduction unit (VRU), similar to one in Glasgow which was launched after a rise in crime there.

The South Yorkshire VRU will enlist experts to address the causes of knife crime, the region's Police and Crime Commissioner said.

Knife crime in South Yorkshire has almost doubled in the last nine years.

This might look like a scene from a sci-fi film, but people in York are being told not to worry if they see anyone looking like this:

Police stopped Faisal Khan, 27, at the Folkestone terminal in January and searched his blue Ford van.

The illegally-earned cash was hidden in parts of the vehicle, said Kent Police.

Khan, of Grafton Street in Batley, initially denied any knowledge of the cash.

He later pleaded guilty to money laundering and was sentenced at Canterbury Crown Court on Monday.

Det Insp Shaun Creed said: "The money seized from his van will now be subject to a forfeiture application under the Proceeds of Crime Act, which, if successful, will mean the money is re-invested into policing."

Once work is completed on the Grade II-listed Hessle Whiting Mill, it will form part of a new Chalk Walk heritage trail on the bank of the River Humber.

There will also be improved access created to the Humber Bridge Country Park.

Hessle Whiting Mill was built in 1810 to crush chalk which was then used to whitewash buildings.

The mill restoration is expected to cost about £970,000.

Over 40 schools in West Yorkshire haven't been inspected by education watchdog Ofsted for over 10 years, according to figures compiled by the BBC.

Schools labelled as "outstanding" have been exempt from routine inspections since 2011, but Ofsted is concerned the ratings no longer reflect the school's standards.

Inspecting all schools would ensure they were not "failing or at risk of decline", the National Association of Head Teachers has said.

In York, almost a fifth of children go to schools which have not been inspected for more than a decade.

City of York Council said 90% of children were at schools rated, external as "good" or "outstanding".

The Department for Education has said it now plans to lift the exemption.

The prestigious eight-day cycling event in late September attracted thousands of people from across Europe.

But some businesses in areas where the contest was held have criticised the championships, saying they've seen far fewer customers than normal as a result.

Some businesses in Harrogate reported a sharp drop in takings due to regular customers staying away from the town centre.

However, others in the town and surrounding villages said business had been boosted by the influx of visitors.

A feedback meeting run by Harrogate Business Improvement District is due to be held later.

The Queens Gardens site was once the world’s largest dock and will now be used to connect the three sites involved in the maritime history project.
