  2. ‘It smelled like dead people’: the plan to tackle England’s illegal waste problem
    By Pippa Neill Environment reporter

    Andy Burnham has announced a crackdown, but doubts remain over authorities’ ability to take on organised crime

  3. West Yorkshire’s bus franchising plans have taken a major step forward after the first contracts were signed by the Combined Authority and operators.

    First West Yorkshire will run services in #Huddersfield and parts of #Leeds, while Transdev Blazefield will operate in Dewsbury. Smaller and school service contracts are also progressing, with announcements expected soon.

    The first Weaver Network services are due to begin in spring 2027, with franchising introduced across the region in three phases through to autumn 2028.

    Under the new system, the West #Yorkshire Combined Authority will set routes, fares and service standards, while operators will run services under contract. The authority says the changes will give local people greater control and improve reliability, affordability and accountability.

    Round two will focus mainly on parts of Leeds and Wakefield, while the final phase will cover the rest of West Yorkshire, including #Bradford and Calderdale.

  4. A piece nominally about #Bradford's #CleanAirZone.

    It started with a friend in #Saltaire flagging long-running health studies of children born in Bradford — and the way the Aire Valley's shape concentrates pollution.

    Titus Salt built Saltaire in the 1850s to escape Bradford's foul air. 150 years later, a trunk road runs through same valley that now traps traffic's exhaust. Debate argues about charge; valley barely gets a mention.

  6. I'm selling my old but low-mileage Vectra C 150 CDTi SRi, 56 plate, 108k miles (mostly major roads), MOT to October and not expecting any major problems.

    West Yorkshire area. Looking for private offers, as I hear #Vectra enthusiasts will be interested in this one.

    Would especially suit motorway or distance drivers. It's comfy and responsive.

    Boosts appreciated.

  7. Lord Blunkett will chair the new White Rose Rail Board, bringing #Yorkshire leaders and rail partners together to drive delivery of Northern #Powerhouse Rail (NPR). The board includes the region’s mayors, #Government, Network Rail and industry representatives, with a focus on turning plans into action.

    The move follows a £45 billion Government commitment to NPR, with Yorkshire central to the first phase. Early work will include electrification and upgrades between #Sheffield and #Leeds, enabling up to four fast trains an hour, alongside improvements at Sheffield, York and Leeds stations and plans for a new #Bradford station.

    The investment aims to create faster, more reliable connections, support jobs, regeneration and growth, and strengthen links across Yorkshire, the North and beyond.

  8. #CleanAir is #woke! Or something like that.

    Anyway, #Bradford Council's new #ReformUK leader wants to stop enforcing clean air. The #ConservativeParty leader agrees. And ReformUK with Tories have a majority on the Council, so they can do what they want.

    Looks like Bradford residents are about to be liberated from the tyranny of breathable air. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c30yn2

  10. Close to #Leeds and #Bradford in #WestYorkshire, the Washburn Valley is like a place time forgot. No road runs through it and is is a peaceful place leading to a circuit of Swinsty Reservoir. Pretty Timble village en route. Good views. See happyhiker.co.uk/MyWalks/North

  11. Our local industrial museum has been added to Atlas Obscura at last. It's a wool mill but also features local trams, Jowett cars and a steam locomotive that ran on dried sewage and was lubricated with wool grease: https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/bradford-industrial-museum #bradford

  12. Hype for the Future 172G → Communities in Northern Florida

    Introduction Much of the region now known as Northern Florida is located to the east of the edge of the Florida Panhandle and north of the Florida Peninsula, home to communities such as Jacksonville and Gainesville within the area. Perhaps the most culturally Deep Southern portion of Northern Florida is likely the region west of the communities on and near the immediate East Coast, but north of (and including) the City of Ocala in Marion County.
