Two warrants were carried out on Sydney Road and Acacia Road in Doncaster yesterday, with £11,000 being seized at one address.

The cash (pictured) was seized along with Class A and Class B drugs, according to South Yorkshire Police.

County lines drug dealing sees organised crime groups use vulnerable people such as children to move drugs between counties.

A 64-year-old man and two women, aged 19 and 47, were arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to supply drugs, police said.

Det Insp Steve Smith said: “County lines is an incredibly damaging tactic undertaken by certain organised crime groups.

"It involves children or vulnerable adults being systematically moved around the country to supply drugs in smaller towns or in more rural areas, and widen the gang’s network.

"Carrying out warrants and seizing drugs and suspected proceeds of crime is vital in disrupting these tactics."

The government should offer funds towards refurbishing a Yorkshire conference centre which it has used as a Nightingale hospital, a council has said.

Harrogate Borough Council has allowed the NHS to use the convention centre, which it owns, rent free, since April.

The council's leader, Richard Cooper, said he hopes the government will repay its "goodwill" with cash.

The authority has been told the centre needs a £47m upgrade to keep its national appeal.

Mr Cooper said discussions with ministers have already begun over funding for the venue, which is due to remain on standby as a hospital until March.

However, a review will take place on 1 October to assess the need for it, as it has not treated any coronavirus patients.

Mr Cooper said: "I know the government is grateful Harrogate has, once again, stepped up to play a national role at a critical time - our task is to take that goodwill and convert it to grant funding."

Officers pulled over a silver Audi A4 saloon car on Burn Bridge Road (pictured) at Pannal, near Harrogate, just before 03:00 on Tuesday morning.

Following checks on the vehicle, the occupants, a 47-year-old man from Leeds and a 32-year-old woman from Birmingham, were arrested for suspected modern slavery and people-trafficking offences.

Following questioning, they were released under investigation while inquiries continue, according to the North Yorkshire force.

A 23-year-old woman from Leeds was also arrested for possession of a Class A drug.

No further action was taken against her and officers have provided safeguarding support, police say.

The Unite union called a vote accusing management at Drax of backtracking on an agreement that there would be no compulsory redundancies.

According to Unite, a commitment was made during pay talks in 2019 that "required changes would result in no further redundancies".

The union said that this commitment was breached when Drax confirmed that commercial coal generation would end in March 2021, with the loss of 230 jobs.

Of 297 workers balloted, 169 cast votes with 102 against industrial action.

Drax said it was offering the same "enhanced redundancy package" for voluntary and compulsory redundancy and that these terms had already been accepted by other unions.

A Drax spokesperson said: "We will continue to work closely with the trade unions and employee representatives to ensure we look after those who are affected and we are doing everything we can to reduce the number of compulsory redundancies."

The spokesperson added that about 200 roles would go and, although this was difficult for employees, "stopping using coal at Drax is the right thing to do for the environment, our communities and the business".

Luminate Education Group said the attack had caused "operational disruption" to its IT infrastructure.

Drivers who park in the double white line system which blocks the road by the entrance to Judy Woods, on Station Road in Wyke, are being warned they're making the road unsafe for pedestrians, drivers and horse riders.

Acting Insp Kerry Feathers, said: “Understandably the woods are popular with those wishing to visit a beauty spot, exercise and take dogs for a walk, however the safety of everyone must remain a priority.

“We are working closely with the council to speak to drivers and repeat offenders to park sensibly and be conscious of the visibility which may be impaired, and help to keep one another safe.

"Anyone found to be illegally parking will be given a £100 fine and three penalty points."

A parrot missing many of its feathers has been rescued after being found at a bus stop in South Yorkshire.

Princess, a Crimson Rosella parrot, was found in a cage left unattended at a bus stop in Main Street, Catcliffe, on Thursday.

The tame exotic bird was "not in a good way" when found, the RSPCA said.

Insp Kristy Ludlam, who was called to collect her, said: "She is missing a lot of feathers and her stomach is almost bald which could possibly be as a result of self-plucking with stress.

“Sadly, no owner has come forward for her, so the exotics specialist where she is now being cared for will look to re-home her once she’s back to full health.”

A council has been criticised after a business in South Yorkshire was flooded because of a blocked river culvert, despite earlier calls for it to be fixed.

Image source, LDRS

Oliver Guise-Smith, who owns a cleaning company on Hangingwater Road in Sheffield, says he has repeatedly reported the blocked culvert to the city council.

A metal grate at one end of the stream, which runs down the side of his building and under the road and houses before connecting with the Porter Brook in Bingham Park, is often blocked, he says.

He says: "We’ve cleared it ourselves more times than I care to count, though it isn’t our responsibility to manage a public river.

“In the past two weeks, with the storms we have had, this has completely blocked up at least twice, flooded our basement, and once put river water on to the road.”

Mr Guise-Smith said he started reporting it to the council eight weeks ago, but was told nothing could be done until mid-September.

Sheffield Council said it was alerted to potential flooding by the Environment Agency last week.

Gill Charters, head of waste management and highways, said: “After visiting to clear it, we found this had already been done and the debris was removed from site.

"We will visit again and speak to those affected to see how we can improve water flow at the culvert and prevent incidents like this occurring in the future.”

The then eight-year-old's mother says his treatment caused low self-esteem and a lack of confidence.

Five-year-old Holly needed major surgery to fit a plate to her broken leg after being targeted with an air rifle near her home in Full Sutton, according to the RSPCA.

Insp Tom Hutton, from the animal charity, has launched an investigation following the incident on Monday 17 August.

He says: “The family rushed Holly to the vet after she managed to crawl home. She was holding her leg up and was bleeding from a wound.

“Vets found that she’d been shot in the leg and her femur had been broken. She needed major surgery to fit a metal plate to repair the break, costing her owners thousands of pounds.”

Holly is now back at home with her family and is said to be recovering well from her surgery.

Holly’s owner said: “It’s shocking this could happen to her, and especially as we live in such a small community.

“She’s normally an outdoor cat and is very sweet and good-natured. It’s so sad that someone would do this to her.”
