    Last month, Mayor Tracy Brabin announced that West Yorkshire's public transport system is to be rebranded the Weaver Network - in reference to the county's textile heritage. The existing Metro branding, which has been in place since the 1970s, is being phased out as WYCA works towards franchising the area's buses.

    Yesterday, the Environment Agency said Yorkshire moved from 'prolonged dry weather' to 'drought' status. Yorkshire Water said the drought status does not immediately change the situation for customers, but water restrictions - such as a hose pipe ban - are possible this summer unless the county gets "significant rainfall" in the coming months.

    Earlier this week, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a major reversal on last summer's decision to scrap the winter fuel payment for all but the poorest pensioners. She said nine million pensioners in England and Wales will now be in receipt of the payment this year - following an intense backlash since the initial decision to cut the benefit. Ms Reeves' £1.25 billion plan will see automatic payments worth up to £300 given to pensioners with an income less than £35,000 a year.

    Officers were called to a large industrial unit in Ruskin Street, Pudsey, shortly before 3.40pm yesterday. It came after concerns were raised by power company staff who were attending to disconnect the electricity supply.   When police entered the building, they discovered a cannabis factory with an estimated 2,500-plus plants with a potential value in excess of £1.5m. Six men were arrested at the scene on suspicion of production of cannabis. They remain in custody.
