  4. Baby taken from formula milk comment dad

    Baby with milk in bottle

    Concern over a father's "unorthodox views" on bottle sterilisation and formula milk sparked a series of events that left his week-old son in care, a court has heard.

    Medical staff had told Kirklees Council of concerns for the family, and social workers later removed the baby.

    Care chiefs then "misled" a family court and falsely claimed the parents "agreed" to the child's removal.

    A High Court judge has now ordered the council to pay the family £11,250.

    The views of the next Bishop of Sheffield make the Church of England look like a 'discriminatory organisation' - according to a vicar in the diocese. 

    Bishop Philip North doesn't agree with the ordination of women, and refuses to ordain women himself. He says his opinions will not hinder his working relationships in Sheffield.

    Reverend Sue Hammersley from St Mark's Church at Broomhill says his views 'question the equal status of women in the Church':

    If you're into music memorabilia, then you'll be in seventh heaven if you're anywhere near Kirbymoorside in North Yorkshire tomorrow.

    That's because Ryedale Auctioneers have 75 lots from some of the biggest names in rock and pop on offer.

    Items connected to The Beatles, Andy Warhol and the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards are among others going under the hammer.

    I managed to grab a quick preview - including trying on a jacket worn by guitar hero Jimi Hendrix:

  8. Northern guards balloted on strike action

    Guards who are part of the RMT union and work for Northern trains are being balloted for strike action today .  

    Train

    It is a similar argument to the one between Aslef and Arriva (who own Northern) on their Southern services. A deal on that long-running dispute has just been rejected .

    The RMT union said members will vote on whether to take action, claiming a failure by the company to give assurances on the future use of guards on trains.  

    The union said its position on Driver Only Operated (DOO) vehicles, meaning the drivers would be in charge of opening and closing the carriage doors, was clear.  

    Quote Message: We are in the early stages of developing our modernisation plans to bring customers a better railway, so we believe the RMT is extremely premature in calling a ballot for strikes." from Arriva North

  10. £37m theme park approved by Rotherham council

    Rotherham Council has approved plans for a £37m theme park near Rother Valley Country Park. 

    Map of site

    The park will be built on the site of Brookhouse Colliery which closed in 1985 and will be run by the company that owns the Gulliver's Kingdom park at Matlock.

    The plans need to be approved by the Secretary of State and if that happens it's expected to open in 2020.

  11. Three trains travelled over 'unsupported track' in Baildon

    Network Rail's been told to improve communication about safety after three trains passed over a dangerous piece of track near Bradford

    Unsupported train track

    The incidents happened at Baildon last June. Part of the embankment had been washed away by flood water, which left one of the rails unsupported for between three and four metres. 

    Although no trains were derailed and no one was injured, the Rail Accident Investigation Branch described what had happened as a "near-miss" incident.

    It says that the public had reported the problem but it wasn't acted on quickly enough by Network Rail.
