Organisers try to ensure the event is open to as many people as possible.

A council by-election is taking place on 8 May this year in the Skircoat ward of Calderdale Council after Labour councillor Mike Barnes' decision to step down.There will also be a council by election in the Morley South Ward of Leeds City Council on 12 June this year, triggered by the resignation of Wyn Kidger.

Meanwhile, council elections are scheduled to take place in West Yorkshire in May 2026.A third of councillors in Leeds will face re-election next year. In Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield as a result of boundary changes drawn up after a review by the Local Government Boundary Commission, there will be "all out elections".The lead singer of rock band The Alarm is in remission from an aggressive cancer thanks to an NHS drug trial.

Mike Peters had been forced to cancel a US tour earlier this year after being diagnosed with a fast-growing lymphoma called Richter’s Syndrome in April.The frontman, of Dyserth, North Wales, has now been given the all-clear following experimental therapy at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust in Manchester.

The 65-year-old said: "Having complete remission thanks to this trial has been incredible."

Medics now want to find a suitable donor so he can undergo a stem cell transplant to prevent the leukaemia taking hold again."We heard that ICE came to a building not far from me," said Carlos, whose son is a US citizen born in New York.

Like Gabriela, Carlos was initially cautiously optimistic about Trump's electoral win and thought he would indirectly benefit from Trump's promises to boost the economy and lower inflation."It's scary. I've been avoiding being out on the street more than I need to," he added. "I don't have a problem with criminals being arrested. But we keep hearing that other people - workers - are also being taken away."

Both Gabriela and Carlos asked to be identified only by their first names, fearing retribution or attention from authorities.It is unclear how many of those arrested have criminal histories and how many are what have been what the first Trump administration termed "collateral" arrests.
