Reform's phenomenal performance in the local elections brings new responsibilities, the chance to manage multimillion-pound organisations that deliver vital services, but also increased scrutiny.

In a post on Facebook, UWFRA gave more details of the incident."A paraglider was attempting to take off from Knipe Scar when he experienced an issue," it said.

"His friend managed to catch the canopy before it took off, but not before the casualty was dragged some distance over rough rock causing deep lacerations to his upper and lower leg."With assistance, he made it halfway down the hill before calling for help."The ambulance service and and air ambulance crew were already on scene treating the man's wounds when the team arrived, UWFRA said.

"The team then drove the casualty to the waiting land ambulance for an onward trip to hospital."We hope the gentleman recovers very quickly," the post added.

Firefighters have spent most of the day tackling a wildfire.

West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said it was called just before 10:00 BST to a blaze in the Cold Edge Road area of Halifax."A couple of weeks ago we were attending seven different incidents, all at the same time, so, for a small building and a small team, that's really difficult."

Mountain rescue teams are reporting a record year for callouts.Both the Keswick and Coniston teams in Cumbria say they have had their busiest year ever, responding to more than 200 incidents between them.

Northumberland's two groups have also seen a rise in the number of incidents in 2024 from the previous year.Richard Warren, from the Lake District Search And Mountain Rescue Association, said: "It's been both busy and tragic, with four fatalities in December alone which is always hard for our teams".
