    Leeds manager Garry Monk accused Huddersfield counterpart David Wagner of lacking "class, humility and respect" after both were sent off during the Terriers' 2-1 win.

    Wagner sprinted down the touchline to join his players in celebrating Michael Hefele's 89th-minute winner. The pair then clashed before being sent to the stands for the closing stages.

    The FA say they are charging both the clubs and Wagner and Monk, external

    The body says that Wagner breached two rules in that he entered the field of play and his conduct when he returned.

    More than 60 Sheffield and Scunthorpe steelworkers are to take High Court action after claiming to be subject to harmful, often fatal, diseases in coke plants.

    The role of a mobility and inclusion officer is to make sure new buildings in the city are fully-accessible to disabled people.  

    Bradford City Council is expected to confirm they will cut the post after the decision was made in December.

    I don't think they're going out of their way to discriminate against disabled people, but that's what will happen because of this decision."

  6. Plea to protect peatland from researcherspublished at 14:52 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2017

    Increasing the water table under the UK's arable peatland can help boost yields and the amount of carbon stored in the soil, a study has suggested.

    University of Sheffield researchers are encouraging farmers to increase the water table to 30cm under the surface, rather than the recommended 50cm.

    Under current schemes, the nation's farmed peatlands could be lost by the end of the century, they add.

    The findings appear in the Science of the Total Environment journal.

    Temple Newsam Golf Course in Leeds could soon be getting fewer holes, as a proposal has emerged to change it from a 36-hole course to 27.  

    But what would they do that fore? (A little grammatical joke there.) Let me explain:

    Leeds City Council say that they're putting the idea out to public consultation. 

    The plans would see a professional 18-hole course and an amateur nine-hole course.

    The council say it's part of their vision to "attract new players and increase general participation numbers in the future".

  15. South Yorkshire residents could pay more for policingpublished at 13:12 Greenwich Mean Time 7 February 2017

    If you live in South Yorkshire you could soon be paying more for policing. 

    A report to the Police and Crime Panel later today will suggest that the portion of the council tax that goes towards the police should go up by just over three percent for the next financial year. 

    For a Band D property it would mean paying £5 extra a year.
