Tapton Terrace Flood Anniversary Live

I reported live from a flood-prone street in Chesterfield where residents say they've been 'forgotten' by authorities. It's two years since their neighbour Maureen Gilbert drowned in her home when Tapton Terrace was flooded during Storm Babet. I first reported from the street a year ago and people living there say lives are still at risk and no action has been taken to stop it happening again.

Dickie Bird Funeral

Yorkshire's iconic cricket umpire Dickie Bird was laid to rest at his funeral in Barnsley last week. Mourners watched the funeral procession as famous faces from the world of cricket came to pay their respects. He died last month at the age of 92. I had the great pleasure of interviewing Dickie when he turned 90. I always found him such a warm, open and engaging person.

Balloon Artist

I've been to see a balloon artist from Yorkshire who's won Designer of the Year award at an international competition in the Netherlands. Alison Garnham from Ossett lost her job during the first Covid lockdown and started her business making balloon designs for parties and events. It’s been so successful she opened a shop in Ossett earlier this year.
