A dad has been reprimanded by council bosses for letting his seven-year-old daughter walk 20 metres alone to catch the bus to school. Isabelle McCullough is a pupil at Normanby-by-Spital Primary School, near Gainsborough, and is picked up by the school bus from the top of the courtyard, where she lives in Glentham.

A Scarborough resident has been left devastated after the trees that she saw every day for 11 years were unceremoniously cut down. Council staff who came to hack down the six leafy crab apple trees outside Jose Williams' home in Keld Close, Newby, said they had been told to do so because the falling fruit was dangerous. The council had been contracted to carry out the work on behalf of Yorkshire Coast Homes.

Administrators at Byron Nelson High School in Trophy Club, Texas, suspended a 16-year-old boy on Tuesday because his eyes were bloodshot and they thought he might have been smoking marijuana. The teen said he was not high. Instead his eyes were red because he had been grieving the loss of his murdered father. Kyler Robertson’s father was stabbed to death on Sunday. His mother honoured his wishes and let him go to school on Tuesday to be with his friends.
