00:00 Three stories in brief and police are appealing for witnesses following a robbery at Yorkshire

00:05 Building Society in Wakefield on Thursday morning. The Kirkgate workers were held at

00:10 Knife Point and cash was stolen. Anyone with information can contact 101 or Crimestoppers

00:16 anonymously.

00:17 Next, Dyne, which operates the Mansion House in Roundy Park, has renegotiated the terms

00:23 of its lease with Leeds City Council, saving the venue from closure. The council said striking

00:29 a new deal at the Grade 2 listed restaurant and wedding venue has more benefits as opposed

00:34 to risks.

00:35 And finally, Weatherby Services have submitted plans for a solar farm on land next to the

00:39 A1M service station. The renewable energy it generates would be used to power the site's
