Campaigners in Bradford are celebrating after it was announced a new crematorium will be built on a private site instead of a public park.

The £10.5m crematorium will be developed on a field off Shetcliffe Lane, Bierley, replacing the existing facility at Scholemoor.

It follows a campaign from residents who argued Littlemore Park did not "belong" to Bradford Council.

The council later deemed the park "unsuitable" for a crematorium.

Negotiations are taking place to agree a price with private owners of the Bierley space.

Friends of Littlemore Park campaigner Carolyn Bowe said: "We’re over the moon.

"This announcement is a real champagne moment for us. Going forward we have to make sure this doesn’t happen again."

People returning books late to libraries in Wakefield have been told they can write-off their fines in an unusual and charitable way.

Wakefield Council-run libraries say they will accept food to write-off what's owed on late returns as long as it is non-perishable and in tins or packets.

Councillor Jacqui Speight says she hopes the idea might spread to other organisations.

She says: "Wouldn't it be great to extend it to universities, schools and colleges and get young people involved so they're helping to collect?

"If other organisations were involved it would be just wonderful."

“I’d like to issue a personal appeal to Richard, please get in touch with your daughter, let her know that you’re safe for Christmas."

Mr Dyson is described as being between 5ft 10ins and 6ft tall, of slim build, with short grey hair.

The image of St Germain (pictured) was commissioned for the Anglican cathedral as part of celebrations marking the 950th anniversary of its founding. It was painted by iconographer Aidan Hart.

In the Orthodox tradition it is common for worshippers to kiss a religious icon and the abbey has had to place it "out of harms way" to avoid damage before it's varnished.

The vicar of Selby Abbey, John Weetman, says: "At the moment it's out of harm's way, out of the reach of touch, because it hasn't been varnished yet and we know people from the Orthodox tradition do like to kiss icons."
