Yorkshire Post: Our Yorkshire Farm stars Clive and Amanda Owen have been given planning permission to convert a derelict Dales cottage into a new home.

The Scotsman: Breeds of dogs needing less in the way of grooming and exercise are easier to care for by those with mobility issues, while dogs with the right easy-going temperament make loyal and loving companions for people living alone.

Yorkshire Evening Post - nostalgia: It was a misspelt sign which drove Leeds motorists to distraction and left highways chiefs red-faced. Eagle-eyed drivers spotted a new spelling of Harehills - featuring three l’s - on a road sign on the Sheepscar Interchange in Leeds. This was Leeds in May 1997, a month which featured a regiment exercising their right of Freedom of the City and the Elland Road pitch ripped up.

Sunderland Echo: Sunderland have announced that they have already sold over 35,000 tickets for Friday’s play-off semi final against Sheffield Wednesday. Tickets are now on general sale after season-card holders were given a period of exclusivity to secure their regular seats for the game. The attendance is set to be the biggest of the season by far, which came when a crowd of 38,395 watched Jermain Defoe make his second debut for the club in a 2-1 defeat to Doncaster Rovers.
