A government office failed to do enough to prevent the spread of coronavirus, a health and safety inspection found.

Workers were pictured gathered around a desk at the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in Leeds where there have been two confirmed Covid-19 cases.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found management had failed to ensure social distancing was maintained.

During the pandemic, the majority of DWP employees in Leeds have been working from home but there have still been hundreds of people in the office, located inside Quarry House, a landmark building on the eastern edge of the city centre.

The HSE confirmed that following the visit an official letter, known as a Notification of Contravention, was sent to the DWP.

In this letter, the DWP was warned a fee would need to be paid because of "material breaches" of health and safety law.

It was given a deadline of Tuesday 15 September to confirm action had been taken to remedy the issues highlighted in the report.

The DWP said it had taken "urgent action to rectify all issues identified" at the Quarry House office.

A house in West Yorkshire which is thought to be the inspiration for Emily Bronte when writing 19th Century classic Wuthering Heights is on sale for more than £1m.

Ponden Hall, in Stanbury, dates back to 1541 and played host to Bronte and her family during their childhood.

Several features of the property are said to have inspired her work.

Sisters Emily and Anne Bronte, who began writing as children along with their sibling Charlotte, first came across Ponden Hall during the Crow Hill Bog Burst, a mudslide that occurred following heavy rainfall in September 1824.

While this was the girls' first encounter with Ponden, they continued to visit, with the house providing inspiration for both Wuthering Heights and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall.

In 2014, it was converted into a bed and breakfast which is currently run by owners Steve Brown and Julie Akhurst.

The couple moved into the property in 1998 and undertook extensive restoration work.

Mr Brown said it was a request from a Bronte enthusiast to stay over in the old library that prompted them to carry out the conversion.

Fulneck School, which was a girls' school when Dame Diana started attending there in 1950, says it was "deeply saddened" to learn of her death.

In a statement, the school says there's "little doubt" Dame Diana - who was born in Doncaster - discovered her love of acting through the school's drama teacher Sylvia Greenwood.

"The two kept in touch for many years, with Dame Diana contributing her own poem of thanks to Mrs Greenwood in 1994," the statement says.

"At the time, Dame Diana said: 'She is unique and I owe her my life in the theatre'."

The statement goes on to say Mrs Greenwood "worked closely" with Dame Diana for her audition to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London at the age of 18.

"Fulneck School pupils remained familiar with Dame Diana as her career took in both Doctor Who and Game of Thrones," it continues.

The school "passes on its deepest condolences to Dame Diana’s family", it concludes.

The victim was punched in the face and throat and thrown to the ground after being approached by the group of youths in Hull Road Park, say police.

The boy was taken to hospital for a check-up and found to have suffered a potential broken nose in the attack, which happened on Tuesday between 16:00 and 16:30.

The main suspect is a youth described as white with a tan, with short black spiked hair.

He's thought to be about 5ft tall and was wearing a white polo shirt and dark jeans.

Anyone who saw the attack, or who has CCTV in the Flaxman Avenue area which might have captured those involved on their way to or from the park, is being asked to contact police.

He was arrested after trying to run from police.

The man "shouldn’t have been in the country at all" after being deported a few months ago, according to officers.

"Selfish" criminals who dump waste from cannabis farms in North Yorkshire are to be targeted in a crackdown on illegal dumping, police say.

Criminals have been abandoning the remains of cannabis farms in rural parts of the county, leaving local authorities and landowners to "foot the bill and clear up their mess", according to North Yorkshire Police.

The rubbish has included lamps, wiring, air filters, tubs of fertiliser and dead plants, the force says.

Earlier this year, police surveyed more than 75 farmers and landowners in the county about fly-tipping and 10 farmers reported having cannabis waste dumped on their land within the last year.

One farmer told police that cannabis farm waste was fly-tipped on their land every couple of months.

PC Gemma Mumby says: "Criminals involved in cannabis production see fly-tipping as an easy way to dump their waste."

Hambleton District Council leader Mark Robson says: “The illegal dumping of cannabis farm waste across Hambleton is not only an unsightly blight on the landscape, it costs council taxpayers tens of thousands of pounds a year."

Doncaster has been left "devastated" by the decision to hold the remainder of the famous St Leger horse racing festival behind closed doors, a business owner has said.

Doncaster Racecourse had allowed some fans to watch the festival on Wednesday - the first crowd at a British horse racing fixture since the coronavirus lockdown - as part of a government pilot scheme for sporting events.

But during the day, race organisers were told by the town's director of public health to stop spectators attending on the grounds of "public health and public safety" - a move the racecourse says will cost about £250,000.

Craig Dowie, from The Crown Hotel in Bawtry, says at this time of year he's usually busy with guests watching the racing and has been left "absolutely devastated" by the announcement.

"The town's devastated, Bawtry is devastated, but we can't put into words how we feel for Doncaster Racecourse," he says.

"The guys up there were absolutely superb yesterday. All the results that came out of there, the controls they put in were absolutely positive, and it's actually gutting the effort [racecourse director] Mark put in."

Doncaster Council says holding the rest of the St Leger behind closed doors was "the right thing to do" to stop the virus from spreading.
