People are being asked to remove "love lock" padlocks from a bridge in Castleford before Wednesday morning.

The padlocks have been attached to the bridge by couples celebrating their relationship - something seen at tourist spots all over the world.

However, repair work needs to be carried out to the Castleford Millennium Footbridge (pictured), after vandalism earlier this week. Wakefield Council is also concerned that cables have started to rust, where padlocks have been attached.

Councillor Matthew Morley, who oversees planning and roads, said: “We recognise there’s been a popular trend for several years for people to place padlocks on bridges across the world, as a way of expressing their feelings for a loved one.

"We don’t want to spoil anyone’s enjoyment, but unfortunately it can cause issues, that people won’t have foreseen seen at the time, by damaging the structure. Our priority, as ever is public safety."

The council says no locks left on the bridge will be returned to their owners, and any new locks will be removed.

The footbridge will be closed between 10:00 and 13:00 on Wednesday 22 September.

Food banks and charities in West Yorkshire are concerned there will be a sharp rise demand for their services, once the increase to Universal Credit is scrapped.

From next month, the government is removing the £20 a month uplift, which was introduced during the pandemic to provide support for low income families.

Projects such as St Giles' Food Share in Pontefract support people who cannot afford food. For £2 a week, they can receive a box of groceries - and volunteers say that is a stretch for some, even with the extra money.

Volunteer Paul Harris said: "Last year we were visiting families who couldn't afford to pay their subscription to the pantry club because they had to put the heating on for the children."

Christine, who claims Universal Credit, told the BBC living on the benefit was "not easy at all".

Some MPs have been calling for the £20 increase to be maintained. However, the government says, as the economy opens up, the focus needs to be on getting people back to work.

The Harrogate Autumn Flower Show, external is taking place over the next 3 days, but this year it is not being held at the town's Great Yorkshire Showground.

The event has a new location at Newby Hall near Ripon and admission to the award-winning gardens is included in the the ticket price.

Around 30,000 people are expected at the show, which runs until Sunday.

It's the first time it has has taken place since 2019, when plans were announced to move it out of Harrogate, a decision organisers said they hoped would "future-proof the event."

The show's director Nick Smith told BBC Radio York: "To end the season we thought it would be lovely to celebrate gardening and where better than one of the country's most famous gardens, Newby Hall and that's why it naturally fell together."

The show is famous for its giant vegetable competition and in 2019 Richard Mann's huge pumpkin (pictured) weighed in at 45 stones (291.7kg).

Organisers of the show also hold an event in the spring, but that will continue to be staged at the Harrogate showground.

Work is ongoing at the city's former Odeon building to turn the derelict cinema into a live entertainment and events venue.

Birmingham-based NEC Group say that work on the property's auditorium, plus other schemes, should mean the venue can open to the public, with a capacity of 4,000 guests, in late 2022.

Originally opened as the New Victoria in 1930, the site closed its doors in 2000 - but not before it had hosted such musical legends as the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Tom Jones.

The market's organisers in Frankfurt have cancelled it for the second year running, because of uncertainty around coronavirus restrictions.

Kate Nicholls, the chief executive of trade body UKHospitality, told BBC Radio Leeds: "It's really devastating to have it cancelled for a second year.

"Christmas markets are becoming destinations in their own right, and you see a huge influx of people. You get people coming from across the region and across the country, even, boosting sales and making additional purchases in shops, cafes, pubs, bars, as well as the hotels."

Leeds City Council said it was "disappointing" that the market was not going ahead, but added there would still be events and food stalls in Millennium Square.
