Leeds flood defence scheme mass tree planting proposal

Hundreds of thousands of saplings could be planted in a £100m scheme to protect against flooding in Leeds.

The mass tree planting proposal is in a Leeds City Council report for the Leeds Flood Alleviation Scheme.

It follows a study of the River Aire catchment area after Storm Eva damaged 3,355 properties in the city in December 2015.

Up to one million trees could be planted if the scheme is approved - the largest number planted for this purpose in the country.

My constituents feel they've not had a fair slice of the transport infrastructure cake over the years compared with London and the south east.

She also said that the government had allocated £781m for the West Yorkshire Plus Transport Fund.

West Yorkshire school and church on Victorian Society's 'at risk' list

A former school in Bradford and a church in Huddersfield have been named among England's most endangered buildings.

Victorian Society

The buildings feature on the Victorian Society's annual list of buildings deemed "at risk of being lost forever".

Comedian and vice-president of the Victorian Society, Griff Rhys Jones, said: "All of the buildings on this year's list have local, even national, importance in terms of their history and/or architecture.

Feversham Street First School, Bradford (pictured above) is the only Grade II* building on the 2017 list.

Since closing in 1993, this Gothic Revival building has been used mainly for commercial purposes but now appears to be closed and abandoned.

Victorian Society

The other building in West Yorkshire which is included in the society's top ten list is St Andrew's Church in Huddersfield (pictured above).

It's the only church on the list and the building is currently up for sale but the Victorian Society says it is becoming increasingly vulnerable due to damage from vandals, nesting birds and general decay.

To have let them fall into their current state is deplorable, but there is still time to save them for future generations to enjoy."

Listen: Claims major development in York will increase pollution

Elly Fiorentini

BBC Local Live, Yorkshire

There's a piece of valuable land in York which the city council has been trying to redevelop for years.

It was called the 'Teardrop' site and now it known as York Central. The land is part of the old sidings where the former Carriageworks site used to be. It stretches across to near York Railway Station.

There are claims that multi million plans to redevelop the huge site could make the city's pollution problems worse. That's the view of people living nearby.

City of York Council

Around two thousand new homes and a business park are planned for the area behind the railway station. A consultation on roads into and out of the site ended today. The York Central Partnership says it'll bring crucial jobs and investment. Chris Barrett is from York Central Action, a campaign group against the plans.
