The Prince of Wales Hospice, which is based in Pontefract, said it was "heartbreaking" to find the van had been stolen on Friday.

It's used to move donations across the stores, which are vital income for the hospice.

With the van being off the road it'll cost the hospice £2,000 a week, staff say.

Writing on Facebook, they said: "We anticipate after claiming through our insurance, which will be paid at the current market value of the vehicle, significantly less than the original purchase price, there could be up to a £15,000 shortfall to re-purchase a vehicle of the original specification.

"This is heartbreaking for our hospice after we have already struggled with a loss of income throughout the Covid-19 pandemic."

Documents seen by councillors show the authority is expecting a shortfall of around £5.3m, but this is manageable for the financial year, bosses said.

However, pressures on budgets may become more apparent in the next financial year with finance chiefs at the council saying the budgetary situation is "fluid and ever changing".

Finance chiefs said the council had acquired "new and additional costs" to support the continuation of vital services.

Lost income through reduced trading activity or the ending of services along with a delay in delivering savings to achieve a balanced budget was also experienced, they added.

Council tax payments and business rates payments were dramatically reduced as lockdown began, businesses closed and staff furloughed.

Bosses anticipate the cost of local authority services will increase at the same point the available income through council tax and business rates will come under pressure.

"During this quarter, we have been presented with significant challenges to service delivery as a result of the pandemic lockdown and restrictions applied."

With some families buying puppies through lockdown, and people spending more time at home, dogs will have become used to having people around.

But as businesses reopen and people go back into work, Ruth Bryant, from Wagtails in Beverley, says there are concerns dogs will struggle to adapt.

Ms Bryant says many will suffer from separation anxiety because before lockdown they would have been left on their own for longer periods.

She said: "Over lockdown, [dogs being left alone] hasn't happened. The dog has been home, there've been people around all the time.

"It's now become very happy and the 'new normal' for the dog is that the house isn't empty."

Police say they have previously had to intervene at a number of unlicensed music events and other large gatherings in Leeds throughout the lockdown period.

There are concerns similar events are being organised for this weekend, according to the West Yorkshire force.

The orders also give officers the power to confiscate items being used in an anti-social manner, such as sound systems or other music equipment.

The Leeds-wide orders will cover from this Friday through to Tuesday next week, police add.

Supt Chris Bowen said: "We continue to work with the local authority and public health to encourage people to recognise the risks taking part in such events or gatherings presents.

"We do, however, hope people will recognise the ongoing risks of holding or taking part in such events and do the right thing in everyone’s best interests."
