A large oak tree in a West Yorkshire market town has been felled after weeks of public debate about its future. The tree, in Otley, was cut down as Leeds City Council said it needed to make way for vital repairs on the footway of the main bridge over the River Wharfe. The move, which was first planned before Christmas, divided opinion among residents. There were scuffles on Friday morning as protesters tried to stop the tree being removed.

The director of a west Cornwall tourist attraction has been describing how he used a "Bleed Control Kit" to help a friend. Nick Reynolds, from Paradise Park, has been part of the drive to get the bright red kits installed in Hayle. They contain trauma dressings, gauze for wounds and a tourniquet and are mounted next to defibrillator stations. Nick was inspired by Lynne Baird's campaign which she set up after her son was stabbed and died eight years ago.
