Anne Lister College is being opened by TV writer Sally Wainwright who brought Lister to life in the BBC series Gentleman Jack, starring Suranne Jones.

Lister, who has been described as the "first modern lesbian, external", was a prolific diarist who penned some five million words in her lifetime.

Her journals, mostly written at her home at Shibden Hall in Halifax, told of her life and lesbian relationships and were recognised as a "pivotal" document by the United Nations in 2011.

Sally Wainwright told BBC Radio York: "It's a huge privilege, I'm really thrilled that they've asked me to do it. She's my personal hero, so to be asked to open the college is really, really big for me, really special."

Street drinking in public areas, swimming in open water after being advised not to and riding a motorcycle or quad bike inconsiderately will all become punishable.

Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: "I am pleased that our proposals on new measures to tackle anti-social behaviour and enviro-crime have won the support of local residents.

“There are some areas where inconsiderate people behave in ways which we should not put up with.

"These new powers will give the council and the police a new tool to tackle this inconsiderate behaviour with fines of up to £1,000."

West Yorkshire police officers attempted to stop a Ford Transit van suspected of being on false plates at about 11:00 BST yesterday.

The van went on to crash into a lamppost on the slip road at junction 22 near Ripponden.

The driver's injuries are not thought to be life-threatening, police added.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct has been informed.

The 10 men were members of organised crime gangs in Lincolnshire and the West Midlands.

Covid vaccination rates for schoolchildren in Hull and East Yorkshire are well below the national average, latest government figures show.

Across England 15% of 12 to 15-year-olds have received the jab, but in Hull the figure is 6.7% while in the East Riding it stands at 9%.

Since September, all children aged 12 to 15 across the UK have been offered the opportunity to have one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid jab.

Students are currently being vaccinated in schools, but after the October half-term holiday the government said they would be able to attend a vaccination centre.

The deputy chief medical officer for England has urged school pupils not to listen to misinformation on social media about the vaccination.

Prof Jonathan Van-Tam, who is originally from Lincolnshire, said anybody worried about having the vaccine should talk to health experts.

"Turn to somebody who has spent years and years of training for that role and maybe 30 years of their life giving that kind of advice to patients," he said.

"Turn to a doctor or a nurse or a pharmacist. Go to the right sources."

PC David Warwick used the term to describe a colleague of British-Indian heritage during a "jocular" exchange, a misconduct panel found.

The panel said it was "offensive in the extreme", a breach of South Yorkshire Police's standards and amounted to gross misconduct.

PC Warwick denied using the slur at Sheffield's Shepcote Lane custody suite and has now lodged an appeal against the panel's findings.

Officials are hoping Leeds will become one of the first cities where people do not need to own a car to get around.

The council's executive committee has approved the new Connecting Leeds Transport Strategy, which aims to double public transport use in a decade.

Other ideas in the plan include promoting driverless vehicles, charging employers for providing parking spaces and possibly introducing a charging zone for high-polluting vehicles.

However, commuters have been telling the BBC why they're not quite ready to scrap their cars.

Rebecca (pictured) drives with a colleague from Doncaster to work at Trinity Leeds.

She says, in her experience, the trains are unreliable and too expensive: "We’ve tried it and it’s not worked for us. With the times and stuff it makes it really awkward - not getting to work but getting home from work.

"We get the London King's Cross from Leeds to Doncaster, and every night it’s either full or delayed."

Malcolm (pictured) does his shopping in Leeds city centre and only lives a few minutes away in Belle Isle.

However, he says the bus isn’t convenient: "We go to different places, we pick up things and then we’ve got to go around.

"My wife gets the bus sometimes, but they need to be more frequent - every 15 minutes or so."

And Michael, who lives in Bramhope had travelled in to the city centre to visit a Thai supermarket.

He told us driving is just more convenient: "The buses just aren't up to scratch. Our son lives in Horsforth and it’s really easy for him to get on the train to come into Leeds - it’s not worth parking - but where we live, it’s a bit further out and it’s not so easy."

It comes after a team of 24 lifeboat crew members pulled the town's historic lifeboat through the narrow streets to its new home last month.

The building will be renovated to create a new visitor experience, due to open in September next year.

A spokesman said: "We are so pleased to say the renovation of the Lifeboat Museum as started.

"The Pulling Lifeboat and all the artefacts have been safely removed and are now in storage.

"We will keep you posted on progress as our contractors carefully carry out the renovation of our lovely building."
