A £116m plan to transform bus services in North Yorkshire is due to be agreed by councillors today.

North Yorkshire County Council has faced sustained criticism for cutting more bus services than any other local authority in the country and leaving vulnerable people isolated.

The plan aims to increase the number of passenger journeys by more than two million a year by 2030, but relies on a successful bid to central government for the funding.

It also includes proposals for half fares for jobseekers and apprentices, a new bus service website, and improved information at bus stops.

Don McKenzie, the councillor responsible for transport at North Yorkshire County Council told BBC Radio York: "We spend a lot of money on bus services, but we have a huge area to cover and a fairly sparse population.

"Commercial bus services are quite hard to achieve in rural areas and we have to subsidise them, but of course that money doesn't go far enough, so this plan seeks to address that challenge."

Lincolnshire faces a shortage of more than 200 doctors over the next four years, according to a new report.

A report due to go before Lincolnshire County Council’s Health Scrutiny Committee on Wednesday contains the figures.

Nationally the number of GPs has fallen from 51.5 per 100,000 patients in 2016, to 46.3 per 100,000 in March this year, it said.

The county has found it difficult to recruit and retain healthcare staff over the past decade.

Dr Kieran Sharrock, told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: “The situation is getting worse because we’ve got an ageing population of GPs.

“Also the increasing demand that we’re receiving means a lot of GPs are thinking they can’t cope with being a doctor so they’re going part-time or retiring early.”

He said the newly opened medical school at Lincoln University would help but “that doesn’t solve the problem immediately” because it takes 10 years to train a GP.

Solutions include patients being asked to see other healthcare practitioners, using phone or video consultations or even travelling further afield.

A South Yorkshire MP is calling on the government to work on some form of support for the steel industry to ride out "sky-high" energy prices.

Image source, PA Media

John Healey, Labour MP for Wentworth, called for help as the UK’s third largest steel maker, Liberty, is reopening its Rotherham steel plant after securing £50m in funding.

The firm says the extra cash will safeguard hundreds of jobs.

But it takes huge amounts of energy to keep the arc furnaces in Rotherham going and prices are high.

While consumers are protected somewhat with a cap on what we can be charged there's no energy cap for heavy industry.

Mr Healey said: "We make some of the best steel here in Rotherham but it needs the company behind it with a refinanced deal and it needs government to sit down with the company and the unions to work out some support for the sky-high energy prices at the moment."
