The plan is to develop Shirethorn House, along with land and buildings at the corner of Ferensway and Spencer Street.

Proposals include building three towers, including one that is due to be 14-storeys high (artist's impression pictured above), said Hull City Council.

The proposal aims to cater for a shifting demographic in people wanting to live in the city centre, the council added.

In addition to one and two-bed apartments for young professionals, the development will also feature three-bed apartments and townhouses for families.

Councillor Daren Hale said: "This project will be a striking addition to Hull and it will provide high quality homes as people look to move back into the city centre once again.”

Andy Mowbray, of Ferensway Developments, said: “City centres are changing and the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated this."

It happened between 17:15 and 17:30 on Wednesday 17 February as the man, 30, walked in Thornes Park with his wife.

As the pair passed four males, all aged between 12 to 13-years-old, one of the group shouted at the man, according to police.

The males then left the scene.

One suspect is described as white, slim and wearing a black baseball cap, dark jogging bottoms and a black scarf. He was riding a black pedal cycle.

Ripon's landmark Grade II-listed Spa Baths building has gone up for sale with an undisclosed price tag, it's been confirmed.

The 116-year-old building was the last of its kind to open in England and has been put on the market as it will no longer be needed by Harrogate Borough Council when a refurbishment of Ripon Leisure Centre is completed later this year.

The council it said could have a number of future uses, including "low density residential use, community uses and other uses appropriate to town centre locations".

It is the second time the baths has been put up for sale by Harrogate Borough Council after the authority advertised it in 2008 with a £3.3m price tag but later withdrew its sale plans following a community campaign.

News of the second sale attempt had sparked concerns among city councillors who said they wanted to see the building kept in use as a community facility and not converted into housing.

A spokesman for Harrogate Borough Council said: “Ripon Spa Baths has served the community well over the years and is now being replaced by a modern, state-of-the-art pool at Ripon Leisure Centre.

“Once the project is complete, it will provide much needed state-of-the-art facilities that will encourage a healthier and more active lifestyle for our residents.”

Keighley Cougars has become what's believed to be the first professional sports team to include what's known as the "Progress Pride" flag on its playing kit.

As well as the traditional rainbow, the Progress Pride symbol features black and brown stripes to represent LGBT+ people of colour and the baby blue, pink and white of the trans pride flag.

Keighley Cougars has a history of inclusivity of the LGBT+ community, becoming the world's second professional sports team with an openly gay owner.

In 2019, Ryan O'Neill and husband Kaue Garcia took over the club.

In the same year, the club hosted a "Pride Game" against the West Wales Raiders, which the club says was also a first for professional sport.

A BBC West Yorkshire Sport Daily special documentary, looking at LGBT+ visibility in sport, is available to listen to on BBC Sounds.

Three Yorkshire music venues have been named as being in "imminent danger of permanent closure" as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.

Beehive Jazz in Hull, Dryad Works (pictured) in Sheffield, and Boom in Leeds, have been placed on the Music Venue Trust charity's "red list".

The three venues are among 20 across the UK which the trust is working to help survive the impact of the pandemic.

The red list was first announced last year and since then 16 of the original 30 venues have been declared safe, but six further venues have been added.

Mark Davyd, CEO of the Music Venue Trust, said: “The crisis is nearing its final lap, but we need to make sure these venues finish the race.

"With the support of artists and audiences, we have fought our way through the last 11 months venue by venue, case by case, trying to make sure we are able to reopen every venue safely.

"These six newly highlighted venues need urgent help, and we still have 14 venues that were on our original red list that we can’t yet guarantee will survive to bring live music back to our communities. We are completely determined that they will."

People in North Yorkshire will vote on 6 May to elect a Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.

The decision to reject plans for a huge Roman Quarter development in York is "shameful and absurd", the creator of the Horrible Histories books has said.

Terry Deary was speaking after City of York Council rejected the project featuring a Roman visitor attraction and a 10-storey building with 211 apartments and office space.

Mr Deary, the author of the multi-million selling Horrible Histories series of children's books, said: “It’s the most shameful and absurd decision any committee has ever made.

"They have put a knife into the city. They have deprived York of tourism, hospitality, employment, £20m a year to the economy.

“I’m absolutely shocked at the decision. It’s disgraceful, but that’s democracy.”

The project was turned down by a majority vote at a planning meeting on Wednesday.

The developers, a partnership between York Archaeological Trust, North Star and Rougier Street Developments, could now appeal against the decision.

The plan, first revealed in 2019, would have seen the demolition of three buildings, Northern House, Rougier House and Society Bar, to make way for the new building.

York Archaeological Trust (YAT) said the Roman attraction could generate £20m per year from tourism revenue and had proposed a two-year archaeological dig on the site

The plans had been opposed by the Council for British Archaeology, Historic England and the Ancient Monuments Society.

Shaun Collinge, who runs The Maltings pub near the site, said he hoped a compromise could be reached so the project could "breathe life into a tired and uninviting part of the city".

Green Party leader Andy D'Agorne, speaking on Wednesday, said the plan proposed "a bolder and brasher ugly duckling to replace a less than energy-efficient 1960s building that is there at the moment".

Police are "extremely concerned" after the teenagers all needed hospital treatment since the weekend.

Applications to become part of The Power Squad, as volunteers are to be known, opened earlier.

England is hosting the 16th tournament, which includes men's, women's and wheelchair competitions at 21 venues across 18 host towns, including Doncaster, Hull, Kirklees, Leeds, Sheffield and York.

Jon Dutton, of RLWC2021, said it would be "the biggest volunteer squad ever assembled for a Rugby League event.

"We want to engage with all ages, genders and communities and build on the incredible passion for volunteering at major events”, he added.

The tournament kicks-off on 23 October, with the men's clash between England and Samoa in Newcastle.

Recruitment for volunteers is due to end on 23 April and applications can be made online.

Two men have been arrested after a woman in South Yorkshire was dragged out of her car and threatened because she refused to hand over her dog.

It happened at about 14:00 on Monday 15 February as the woman and her dog were in a car on the Waterthorpe Greenway, close to Crystal Peaks shopping centre in Sheffield, according to South Yorkshire Police.

A white van pulled in front of her and the driver got out and approached, asking the woman to hand over her Lhasa Apso dog.

When she refused, the man grabbed her by the hair through the open window and pulled her out of the car, police say.

The man then got back in his van and drove off. The woman was left bruised, officers add.

Two men, aged 30 and 33, were arrested yesterday on suspicion of attempted robbery and remain in custody, the force says.
