Food Waste Recycling

I've been filming in Hebden Bridge, Halifax and Doncaster covering a story about food waste recycling. Only four of the fifteen councils in our region will meet the deadline to collect food waste from households from April this year. However, nine of these local authorities, including the whole of South Yorkshire, were granted a transitional agreement by Government, allowing a much later start date for the service. Click here for the BBC News article I wrote and here's the TV report...

Hebden Bridge Flood Defences

An eighty-one million pound flood defence scheme for Hebden Bridge has been approved. The plans were drawn up after the devastating Boxing Day floods of 2015. The scheme aims to bolster flood defences in the area by building new, higher, walls among other measures.

Wuthering Heights

The new adaptation of Wuthering Heights is in cinemas across the country.  It’s the latest Hollywood film to be shot in North Yorkshire. Although Emily Bronte's classic novel written in 1847 was set in the Yorkshire moors, the new film was filmed in the Dales. I went travelling around the Yorkshire Dales to report on the story.
