The number of staff working at the Government's Child Poverty Unit has halved over the last four years.

The Department for Work and Pensions confirmed the number of full time staff had fallen from 23 in 2011/12 to 10 in 2015/16.

The government insists though that tackling poverty is a priority.

The Barnsley Central MP is not convinced however and has urged the Government to do more.

I've been looking at a new report by the End Child Poverty, external campaign group.

Their findings suggest Sheffield is a city divided.

The Sheffield Hallam constituency has one of the lowest rates of child poverty in the country at 10% but next door in Sheffield Brightside & Hillsborough the figure is four times higher - one of the worst in the UK.

I went for a drive to see if Sheffield is a divided city...

Transport Minister Paul Maynard told the debate that work on electrifying the route to Sheffield is continuing.

Twenty nine of the grey boxes have been stacked together to create the office and leisure block.

There are some happy parents and children heading to Wales Primary School in Rotherham this morning.

Their year-long campaign to get a zebra crossing to get across School Road has been successful - so now they don't have to endure their wait of up to 20 minutes to cross.

Parents managed to raise the £50,000 needed for the new crossing.

I went down for a look...

A scrapyard next to Tinsley Park Cemetery has had a stop notice issued against it by Sheffield Council.

Dozens of scrap cars, parts and rubbish have piled up next to a listed chapel and wall, which is all affecting people mourning their loved ones.

The council says it has issued a Planning Contravention Notice and is about to issue an Enforcement Notice to force the owner of the yard to take action. If he doesn't he'll be prosecuted.

Owner Irfan Sahid told me that when he took the yard on he was advised by the council to put up a building on the site, which is why there's now one there. 

He admits he hasn't yet applied for planning permission but will apply next week for retrospective planning consent.

He adds the scrap vehicles lined up against the cemetery wall will be gone in two weeks and says he tries to control any noise or disturbance.
