There's a striker who has just locked in his future at the LNER Community Stadium for the rest of the decade. A burger joint that isn't closing - it's coming home. And a plan that resurfaces every few years, whether North Yorkshire wants it back or not.

☀️ Weather - Heat easing after this week's amber alert; thunderstorm warning in place for Friday. Yorkshire Water reports demand hit 1.485 billion litres on Tuesday (150m litres above average - enough to supply Leeds for a day), with 1.49bn litres expected on the hottest day. Reservoirs sit at a "healthy" 85%. Tips: watering can not hose, full loads only, turn off taps while brushing teeth. Met Office York
