Local people in Barnsley have been encouraged to ‘do one thing to help our local environment” this World Environment Day by changing journeys from car to bus. Research show that buses are an environmentally-friendly and sustainable travel option, with one fully loaded double-decker bus capable of taking up to 75 cars off the road.

Emotions will be running high for Lizzie Deignan at the Tour of Britain Women this week. After announcing in November that this would be her final season as a professional, Deignan has been saying her goodbyes at races all year.
