City of York Council has unveiled plans for the scooters and bikes to be available at the hospital and University of York as part of a bid to increase "green" options for travelling around the city.

However, under Department for Transport guidelines, customers will need at least a provisional driving licence, insurance and a smartphone to take part in the scheme - and electric scooters can be used on roads and cycleways, but not pavements.

Councillor Andy D'Agorne said: "This could provide a really good opportunity to explore how e-scooters might add to the mix of sustainable transport options, while helping to improve air quality and expand our electrical vehicle charging offer.

"The trial could also form part of the city’s Covid-19 response in terms of, for example, providing sustainable alternatives to support capacity on public transport for key workers at the hospital."

The cost is likely to be about £1 to unlock the bike or scooter and 20p per minute to ride – similar to prices in other cities rolling out trials such as Cambridge and Milton Keynes (pictured).

Staff at a Sheffield bakery say they've been abused by people refusing to wear face coverings which are currently mandatory in retail premises due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Forge Bakehouse took to Facebook saying staff ask customers "all day" to wear masks to then be met with verbal abuse.

It said: "Whatever your view on masks, we don't really care. Follow the rules or please do not come."

Speaking to the BBC, Forge Bakehouse owner Martha Brown said people who are exempt from wearing masks are still welcomed, but people who just forget to bring masks are the problem.

She said: "We have to now refuse to serve a lot of people. Initially we were giving out disposable masks, but obviously that's a cost to us for people's mistakes.

"We're understanding that sometimes it's a genuine mistake, someone's just forgotten. So we were giving out masks then we stopped doing that.

"We're happy to save bread and pastries and put them aside so customers can come back later with a mask. We feel like we're being reasonable, but there kind of needs to be a line drawn where we stop and refuse to serve people."

Authorities in Corfu investigating the death of a British woman who was hit by a speedboat are focusing on two suspect boats.

Claire Glatman, 60, who lived near Bedale, North Yorkshire, was injured at Avlaki Beach, on the north-east of the Greek island on Monday.

A post-mortem examination showed she died from multiple injuries probably caused by a boat propeller.

One of the two suspect boats belongs to a Briton, the other to a Greek citizen.

The island's coroner Ioannis Aivatidis examined the boats on Wednesday and said he found elements that could be used for a DNA test, but he confirmed no tissue was found on the two boats' propellers.

As more than 48 hours have passed since Mrs Glatman's death, according to the Greek legal system there cannot be any arrest without an arrest warrant and no fast-track trial can be held.

Sources in the local judiciary and the investigation have told the BBC they are treating the incident as an accident, which would mean the most likely charge would be manslaughter by negligence, which is classed as a misdemeanour under Greek law.

A firearm was discharged during a "planned and targeted" attack in Bradford earlier this week which left three men injured, police say.

Emergency services were called to reports of a fight between a group of men armed with weapons in Peel Square in the city centre at about 22:10 on Tuesday.

Three men subsequently needed hospital treatment, with their injuries not thought to be life-threatening.

Evidence and damage in the area are "consistent with a firearms discharge", according to West Yorkshire Police.

A number of weapons were later recovered from the scene and a police cordon remains in place today, police say.

Three men, aged 22, 28 and 45, all from Bradford, who were previously arrested in connection with the incident, remain in custody.

Another man, aged 43, also from Bradford, who was arrested overnight in Leeds, is also still in custody, officers say.

Det Ch Insp Marc Bowes says: "We believe this was a planned and targeted attack and there is no risk to the wider public.

"I would urge anyone who has any information about the incident to come forward and speak to the police to assist with our inquiries."

Shannon Matthews was the victim of a hoax kidnapping in 2008 staged by her mother Karen Matthews.

The scooters would be available for hospital workers to hire as an alternative to public transport.

The scheme, which was due to end on 31 August, has been extended by Kirklees Council as part of its longer term recovery plans as coronavirus restrictions are eased.

Free parking was introduced in June in all council-run car parks and parking spaces in a bid to support businesses following the introduction of lockdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.

It has now been extended to help support businesses in the run-up to Christmas and during the festive period.

The decision follows feedback from the business community in the borough.

However the authority stresses periods of stay will still be enforced, saying it's important short stay spaces close to shops are available "for those popping in to do some shopping".

Councillor Peter McBride, the council’s cabinet member for regeneration, said it was “essential” businesses were supported during what he described as the “recovery period”.

A similar walk-in centre opened in Bradford city centre earlier this Summer.

The Keighley centre, based at Victoria Hall, is intended to ensure people are tested quicker.

Bradford Council says tests take a couple of minutes and results are available the next day.

However it's advising people to make an appointment before they arrive and to wear a face covering before and after attending the unit.

Councillor Susan Hinchcliffe, leader of Bradford Council, said: “We have been pressing the government for a testing site in Keighley for months now, so we are delighted it has finally been delivered."

The council says anyone in doubt about whether they have Covid-19 should be tested.
