The community artwork in Sheffield's Ponderosa Park was created by students and funded by the city's universities.

Police say the 6ft (1.8m) tall installation was destroyed on the night of 21 August in what they believe was a deliberate attack.

Sgt Adam Wood said the force was reviewing CCTV to try and identify those responsible.

“Acts like this are just incredibly frustrating for everyone involved.

"The aim behind the artwork was to highlight concerns about personal safety and violence against women and girls.

"The group who created it are a force for good in our city, and to destroy their work is unacceptable."

A charity has collected hundreds of tents and sleeping bags left behind after Leeds Festival at the weekend.

The 60 year-old venue closed its doors in March 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Returning theatregoers will be treated to a new-look venue after a £350,000 refurbishment, including a new coffee shop, a new relocated box office, refurbished reception area, new bar and smaller performance spaces for alternative shows.

Councillor David Sheppard, from Rotherham Council, said the closure had left a "huge gap" in the lives of many people and he was "thrilled" to be welcoming back staff and audiences.

The TransPennine Express depot behind Seamer Road opened in 2019 to provide maintenance, including refuelling, to the train company’s fleet.

Since it opened residents have complained it has brought disruption and noise, especially in the early morning.

After discussions with Scarborough Borough Council the company has agreed to no longer use the depot for overnight storage of its rolling stock, which will be maintained and refuelled at Manchester instead.

The final train into Scarborough will be shut down and not restarted until the following morning.

Paul Staples, fleet director for the company, said: "We’ve now introduced some operational changes to the way we use our trains at Scarborough, to reduce the level of noise experienced by residents living close to our depot."

He said they were looking at plans for how to use the depot in the future.

Stelling told BBC Radio York: "It's been fantastically supported this year with over 500 walkers in total taking part."

The march goes on to Merseyside tomorrow and then down to London.

Withernsea High School will stop providing post-16 education from this autumn if councillors approve the plan at a meeting on Wednesday.

It would mean students would have to commute to Hull or Beverley to do their A-levels in future.

A report to the East Riding Council's cabinet states the vast majority of students have sought places elsewhere for several years, reducing the school's ability to offer a wide range of subjects.

The school took the decision to enroll no Year 12 students in September 2020 and no places have been offered for September 2021.

The council is being asked to support the governing body’s request for an age range change to end post-16 education at the school.

Leeds United are closing in on a club record £30m deal to sign Manchester United winger Daniel James.

Leeds coach Marcelo Bielsa has been keeping a close eye on James ever since the Welshman's move to Elland Road from Swansea collapsed in January 2019.

James subsequently joined United that summer and has scored nine goals in 74 appearances for the Red Devils.

Leeds were thinking about making a move during the last summer window but brought in Brazilian Raphinha instead.

It is understood a fee has been agreed in principle, with only the final details remaining to be completed.

The fee would be a club record for the West Yorkshire side, eclipsing the 29m euro (£24.8m) they paid Valencia for striker Rodrigo 12 months ago.

The organisers of the Yorkshire Balloon Fiesta, which took place in York across the weekend, have said the event attracted more than 60,000 visitors.

This was despite some events at York Racecourse being cancelled due to safety concerns caused by the poor weather conditions.

John Lowery, from the festival, said: "Unfortunately the balloons are temperamental so we couldn't get them up on Sunday and Monday, but the entertainment that was here people enjoyed just as much."

The event had originally been planned for May after the 2020 event was cancelled due to the Covid pandemic, but could not go ahead due to continued government restrictions.

It was rescheduled for September, but a clash with a race meeting resulted in it being brought forward to August.
