Sheffield City Council is launching a new campaign to get families, schools and healthcare professionals thinking and talking about how much sugar children are consuming.

Councillor Mary Lea, cabinet member for culture, parks and leisure, said: “Sheffield has high levels of obesity and tooth decay and we see a large variation across the city.

"Being overweight and having a poor diet impacts on children’s physical and emotional well-being and overall life chances.

"We believe Sheffield is sweet enough and with a few small changes we can all reduce our sugar intake, so that eventually these healthy habits become part of daily life.”

The parents of a two-year-old York boy who has severe epilepsy are heading to Westminster to call on the government to make it easier to access medical cannabis on the NHS.

Theo's family, who manage his condition with the drug, are due to join a protest at Parliament later calling on the NHS to fund the treatment, which can cost thousands of pounds a month.

Theo's mum, Holly Malone, says life was "almost unbearable" for the family when Theo didn't have access to medical cannabis and his condition affected every aspect of life.

"All we seemed to do was just watch him seize. Then he'd stop and we'd wait for the next seizure. It was really hard. It was very different to what life is like now."

The government says two cannabis-based medicines are now available on the NHS where it's clinically appropriate.

At the height of his illness, doctors told Dynamo, whose real name is Steven Frayne, that he may never be able to use his hands to perform magic again.

"I was like, I'm Dynamo, I've got to figure out a way to do it," he told The Travel Diaries podcast.

"I do the impossible. I'm not going to go out like this."

He decided to put the magic in the audience's hands and "try and empower them", he told podcast host Holly Rubenstein.

"But over time I started to get the use of my hands back. I had all these new skills I'd developed in my hospital bed - and the old skills coming back too.

"So although I'm not 100% healthy yet, I am technically 150% better at magic."

A meteor has been filmed seemingly exploding above northern England.

Various footage, caught on doorbell cameras and CCTV from as far afield as Bradford, Derby and near Beverley, shows a white light followed by what appears to be an explosion.

John Plane, professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of Leeds, said: "The video shows a large meteoroid entering the atmosphere. The visible light trail probably starts around 90km above the ground.

"Assuming the meteoroid fell through the atmosphere at about 20 km s-1 (72,000 km per hour), it underwent explosive fragmentation around 60 km in altitude."

Wakefield Council has laid out its budget plans for the next financial year, which begins in April.

The increase in bills will be made up of a 1.99% rise in council tax, combined with a 2% hike in the adult social care precept.

As a result of the rise, the authority is promising no cuts to frontline services this year, something it has been unable to do in recent budgets.

The proposed budget will go before the district’s 63 councillors for scrutiny on 26 February.

If approved, the changes to tax bills will take effect from 1 April.

Kirklees Council says the Cemetery Road plots in Birkby are temporary, despite them being used since 1935.

The council wants the land for playing fields and a car park for the new £9.7m Brambles Primary Academy.

Allotment holders successfully argued in the High Court last year that planners should have first applied for a change of use of the land.

The legal case to save the allotments began in November 2018, but allotment holders said they had been dealing with the planning department for "at least two years" before that.

The council is returning to the High Court to appeal against last year's ruling.

Allotments group spokeswoman Debby Fulgoni (pictured) has described the last few months as “frustrating and exhausting”.

But Labour councillor Graham Turner said: “We feel, as an authority with responsibilities to those we support and care for, that we must continue this fight.”

In the first month since litter wardens were introduced in Hull they've issued 281 fixed penalty notices, it's been revealed.

The wardens have the power to fine people £80 if they catch someone dropping litter on the pavement.

Doug Sharp, head of waste management at Hull City Council, says the response to wardens hitting the streets has been "massively positive".

"What we've found from our wardens out on the beat is that they're being approached by people saying what a brilliant thing it is that they're there."

Additional security measures have been put in place at the jail until the locks have been replaced.
