A campaign in York to discourage people from dropping litter in the street has now seen signs go up across the city telling people: "Don't be a tosser".

The signs, installed by City of York Council, ask people who might consider dropping their rubbish why they're "tossing litter around here".

The three options it suggests are:

• "I'm lazy"
• "I don't care about this community"
• "I think other people should pay to clean up after me"

The campaign is designed to shame people who might think it's OK to litter.

Councillor Denise Craghill said: "As lockdown lifts, understandably people want to meet up. Many have been great at social distancing, but some forget to take their litter home – and we want them to be great at clearing up after themselves, too.

"Tossing litter about is not on, so we’ve put posters where the tossers have been, including Tower Gardens, Clifton Ings, Millennium Bridge and Fields.

“We wanted a high-impact campaign to grab people’s attention and, inspired by campaigns from New Zealand and Keep Britain Tidy, we’re getting it.

“But most of all, we don’t want people to be tossers: take your litter back home and don’t leave a dangerous eyesore for others to pay to clean up," she added.

The women say they want to "challenge the persistent failure" of the Child Maintenance Service.

Work to help salmon swim upstream from West Yorkshire to their spawning grounds in the Dales is continuing in part of Leeds.

The 12th Century Kirkstall Weir on the River Aire was originally built by monks at nearby Kirkstall Abbey to power corn mills, but it's now hoped the new fish "pass" which is under construction there will allow salmon to head more easily upstream to the Yorkshire Dales.

Other fish passes have already been created downstream to allow migratory fish to move towards their Dales spawning grounds.

The work is part of the DNAire project, involving the Environment Agency, the Aire Rivers Trust, Yorkshire Water, National Lottery Heritage Fund and Craven District Council in North Yorkshire.

New technology which aims to cut emissions by capturing carbon dioxide is to be tested at a North Yorkshire power station.

The 12-month project will get under way at Drax, near Selby, in the autumn and will examine whether new carbon capture technology will work with Drax's biomass flue gases.

The site will work with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to test the technology, which it's thought could capture about 300kg of carbon dioxide every day.

Drax CEO Will Gardiner says the move will take the firm "closer to achieving our world-leading ambition to be a carbon negative company by 2030".

Meanwhile, Nigel Adams, Conservative MP for Selby and Ainsty and Minister of State at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and the Department for International Development, said the move was "an exciting collaboration".

"It has the potential to further the development of technology which could help the UK achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and contribute to the post-Covid economic recovery," Mr Adams added.

"We are now all finding a new normal - and this includes how children learn and do their work."
