    It's at the Two Rivers Community Pantry on Stanhope Street and will sell surplus food from the big supermarkets at heavily-discounted prices to try and help tackle poverty and offer an alternative to food banks.

    Anne Handley, who is the project manager, said: "We have people that work very hard and are now working poor and people that are just sometimes having a very difficult time.

    "We just want them to know that we are here. We are here for anybody."

    Strong winds are expected to cause large waves and spray on Scarborough's seafront from 12:30 until 15:00, the Environment Agency (EA) says.

    Paths and promenades on Sandside and Foreshore Road are likely to be affected, with people warned to stay away from coastal paths, it adds.

    More updates will be issued at about 16:00 and further alerts and warnings might be required for the area, the agency says.

  8. 'Coffin' protest due to be held over smart motorwayspublished at 11:03 Greenwich Mean Time 1 November 2021

    Campaigners are expected to carry 38 coffins across London to the Department for Transport headquarters later to demand smart motorways are scrapped.

    The protest has been organised by Claire Mercer, widow of Jason Mercer, who was killed on the M1 near Sheffield in 2019 when he was struck by a lorry.

    She said the 38 coffins represented the number of official deaths on smart motorways between 2014 and 2019.

    Mrs Mercer has campaigned against the use of smart motorways since her husband's death, and said the protest - expected to take place this afternoon - aimed to raise awareness.

    In response, a spokesperson for the Department for Transport said: "Every death on our roads is a tragedy and our thoughts remain with anyone who has lost a loved one.

    "While data shows fatalities are less likely on smart motorways than on conventional ones, we know some drivers can feel less safe on them."

    They added that any new "all-lane running motorway" would be required to have additional safety measures in place, such as technology to detect stopped cars.

    Roxy and Amadeus made a run for it after strong winds damaged a fence at Thorner Alpacas on the outskirts of Leeds on Thursday.

    They are now safely back home, after being found and recaptured.

    Co-owner Nathan Pearson-Clough told BBC Radio Leeds: "When we caught Roxy, we netted her pretty safely, pretty stress-free. She hadn't a care in the world, to be fair.

    "Amadeus had to be darted, so Matthew from The Yorkshire Vet had to come out and dart him, just because he was a bit more tricky to catch, and we couldn't safely net him."

    Mr Pearson-Clough has thanked people in the area for keeping an eye out for the animals, and helping track them down.

    He says the wallabies are now doing well: "They're both fine, they're in their enclosures with their friends - just like anything hasn't happened, really."
