    The Lofthouse interchange roundabout links the M62 and M1 between Leeds and Wakefield.

    It was built in the 1960s and now requires regular maintenance to keep it safe.

    About 75,000 vehicles use the junction each day, leading to significant queues at peak times - and demand is due to increase over the next 30 years.

    Andrew Potter, project manager at National Highways, says: "We want improvements at Lofthouse to benefit those in the area, who use it for commuting to work, or to visit friends, and we want it to benefit local businesses and freight that use it on a regular basis."

    Videos of the three options being considered are available on the National Highways website, external.

    A public consultation is running until 10 December 2021.

    Plumpton Rocks, near Harrogate, is one of a collection of gardens across Yorkshire painted by JMW Turner in the late 18th Century.

    The silting of the lake and tree growth had threatened the site - but it was restored after £700,000 was raised.

    The lake has been dredged, repairs have been made to the dam and work was done to manage the trees and vegetation growth.

    Restoration work is also being carried out on the parkland.

    The site was used as a location in the 2016 film Swallows and Amazons, starring Rafe Spall, Andrew Scott and Kelly Macdonald.
