The cabinet member responsible for trees on Sheffield council says there have been no serious health and safety breaches involving contractors Amey and the tree felling programme with no stop notices issued.

The leader of the council, Julie Dore, had said she would "seriously consider" ending their contract if they are found to have breached health and safety laws.

This comes after a member of the public submitted a freedom of information request into health and safety breaches.

The result of the FOI came up with ten breaches. Councillor Bryan Lodge has told us none of those affected the tree cutting programme.

The mother of an 11-year-old boy who drowned in a canal has told an inquest she believes her son was pushed in.

Subhaan Ali, 11, died in the canal near Parkgate in Rotherham in July.

His mother said she believed he had been bullied by a group of children in the area. However, other children he was with told police he jumped in of his own accord.

The number of people shopping at Sheffield's Moor Market is going up.

 In the past year, visitor numbers are up by 6% with a steady rise through the second half of 2016.

When it first moved to the site the council predicted it would have 100,000 visitors a week, but when it opened it was sometimes only getting 40,000.

Last year, numbers peaked as you might expect in the weeks just before Christmas, reaching almost 75,000 in one week in November and close to that again in December.

Doncaster Rovers look likely to be without striker Liam Mandeville for tomorrow's League Two clash with Portsmouth.

The 19-year-old has scored 10 goals so far this campaign for the league leaders, but missed their last match with a thigh problem.

Rovers manager Darren Ferguson says he hasn't ruled Mandeville out completely, but his chances of being involved on Thursday night are slim.
