Suggestions are being sought for names to feature on a sculpture to champion the achievements of women in Leeds.

The 5m (16ft) high artwork, titled 'Ribbons' (pictured above), is intended to redress the gender balance of public sculpture in the city.

The work will consist of several metal ribbons, each displaying the names of notable women.

The idea was developed by Leeds West MP Rachel Reeves along with the council and art university.

Ms Reeves said it was a chance to honour inspiring women from all walks of life.

The young female bird was tagged and released in the Yorkshire Dales in the summer as part of the hen harrier brood management scheme, say police.

Officers say they know from satellite tag data it had stayed in the Hawes area since release, with a last transmission from the tag received on 29 September on Thornton Rust Moor.

Another harrier, a tagged juvenile male missing since 19 September, was last seen in the Askrigg Common area.

The North Yorkshire force is appealing for people with information about either of the disappearances to get in touch.

Officers say they're keen to locate both birds safe and well, but if found dead they can be subject to post-mortem examination to find out if they died naturally or if criminal activity was involved.

The tag numbers of both birds have been released to aid identification: the missing female is ringed with the number FJ48404, the male with 183704.

A 15-year-old boy who was reported missing from Driffield has been found "safe and well".

Humberside Police said Jack Naylor has now been located:

Work is under way to remove an artwork by famous street artist Banksy from Hull’s Scott Street bridge.

The stencilled design appeared on the disused bridge in January 2018.

It depicts a child wielding a wooden sword with a pencil attached to the end. Next to it is a caption that reads: "Draw the raised bridge!"

A specialist team is currently cutting the artwork out of the Grade-II listed structure, which is scheduled to be demolished due to structural instability.

Hull City Council plans to temporarily put the artwork into storage and then put it on display in the future near its original site.

Campaigners battling to stop an historic hall in North Yorkshire from being transformed into a children’s holiday centre have launched a legal challenge at the Court of Appeal.

Newby Wiske Action Group has lodged the legal action over Hambleton District Council’s decision to approve plans to convert Newby Wiske Hall, a Grade II-listed building.

The former North Yorkshire Police headquarters is to be turned into a centre with 550 guest beds and staff accommodation.

The move comes just days after campaigners were refused permission at the High Court for a judicial review of the authority’s decision and costs were awarded in favour of the council.

The 17th Century hall was opened as a district police training centre in 1954, with the original grounds transformed into playing fields by prisoners from Northallerton jail.

It was transferred to North Yorkshire Police in 1976 as the new Force Headquarters and sold in early 2017 to children’s holiday company PGL.

The council says the decision to grant approval for the Newby Wiske site was made after careful consideration of all factors.

New details have been released about the next two buildings to be restored as part of multi-million pound plans to regenerate parts of Sheffield city centre.

It's been revealed block C (above), originally built by paperhangings merchant David Isaacs in 1904, will be called Isaacs House.

The building is to become 37,600 sq ft of "contemporary workspace" and 10,000 sq ft of retail and leisure space.

Councillor Mazher Iqbal, from Sheffield City Council, said: “With the naming of these two blocks, we have tried to be respectful to the history of the site and give a nod to individuals involved in the site's past."

A police investigation is continuing at an East Yorkshire prison after one of the country's most prolific paedophiles was stabbed to death.

Richard Huckle, 33, from Ashford, Kent, abused as many as 200 children while in Malaysia.

In 2016, he was given 22 life sentences after admitting 71 charges of sex abuse of children aged between six months and 12 years, between 2006 and 2014.

It is understood he was attacked on Sunday in his cell at Full Sutton Prison, near York, with what was described as a makeshift knife.

Police were called shortly after 12:30 and are treating his death as suspicious.

A huge tunnel-boring machine which has just completed a groundbreaking £100m project under the Humber Estuary is on its way back to Germany.

The machine, called Mary after a schoolgirl who won a competition to name it, is the size of 11 double-decker buses.

It's spent the last 18 months linking Goxhill on the south side of the Humber Estuary to Paull on the north bank.

The tunnel is 3.3 miles (5.4km) long.

It's the first time a tunnel has been constructed underneath the River Humber and will house a replacement gas pipeline.
