Wakefield Council staff will turn residents away if a park is considered to be at capacity.

The council said many of its country parks have been overcrowded because people have travelled to take exercise.

Residents have been reminded they must stay within their village, town or the part of the city where they live.

Councillor Jack Hemingway, said: "We've arranged for council staff to work at our main country parks to make sure that they don't become over busy.

"In recent months, many residents have been travelling to the parks to exercise.

"Residents must stay local to where they live. There are many fantastic walking routes across the district which will not require residents to travel to them by car."

Two other people escaped from the blaze at Clarence Avenue, Delhi Street, by the time fire crews arrived.

All four were taken to hospital suffering from burns and the effects of smoke inhalation, Humberside Fire Service said.

Neighbour Kevin Dockerty said he helped get one person out of the house.

"My brother came out and he said the house was on fire, we heard a woman screaming so we came and kicked the back door in," he said.

"We had to bring her out of the back door, we got one lady out, but the rest were stuck upstairs.

"We couldn't get any further, so we smashed a back window, got on the roof, took a tile off and smashed a window and tried getting them out that way."

Det Insp Andy Robinson of Humberside Police said: "We are working with our colleagues in the fire service to establish the exact cause of the fire, which at this stage is not yet known."
