HGV from Romania stuck up Miry Lane, Netherthong

Bad luck for this driver today who managed to get his van stuck up Miry Lane in Netherthong.

Villager Steve Cook said: “They are just following their Sat Navs but I do wonder why they think they can get up or down it when they look at it.”

A recovery team helped it to get out but Mr Cook now wants signs to be placed at either end of the lane to deter HGV drivers.

There are reports of sheep on the loose on the M62 Westbound between Ainley Top and Rishworth. The motorway is living up to its reputation for being “rammed” (sorry). Approach with care! #YouKnowYoureInYorkshireWhen...

But today Det Insp Steph Wiseman said the cause of the blaze was ‘accidental ignition’ following a cigarette being discarded.

Three people in the house managed to get out without any injury while five neighbours were evacuated because of smoke.

Almondbury councillor Bernard William McGuin needs some help.

He was on the B.A. Humanities course from 1976 to 1979 and in September it will be the 40th anniversary of the start of the course.

He is helping organise a reunion in Huddersfield at The Albert.

Bernard said: “Most of the people who are coming live in the Midlands and the North of England. Ironically we are having problems locating people from Huddersfield.

“We are finding it hard to locate Steve Slade, Bill Hartley and John Bentley. Ironically a former Liberal councillor, Elaine Whitaker was on the same course and year as me.

“She may have migrated to Spain a few years ago. People are coming up on Friday, 9 September, and I am trying to organise a room and buffet in the town centre for the Saturday night. I would be grateful if you could publicise my quest to find these people. At the moment around 20 are coming.

Information please to b.mcguin@ntlworld.com. There is a Facebook page: Huddersfield BA Humanities Reunion 1976-1979 or ring 07929908238
