Many London councils have begun inviting those wishing to hold street parties to apply for permission.More rubbish has been dumped on a road in West Yorkshire following the closure of a local tip, an opposition councillor has claimed.

Nab Lane household waste recycling centre (HWRC) in Birstall shut on 10 November, as part of a plan by Kirklees Council to save nearly £200,000.Conservative councillor Joshua Sheard said Bankwood Way had become "Birstall's new DFS" because of the number of sofas being dumped.The authority said it had asked the landowner to clean up the private road, and was "closely" monitoring any rise in fly-tipping.

Sheard said rubbish had previously been dumped on Bankwood Way, but the HWRC closure "only exacerbated the problem"."You've got mattresses and a fridge which have just been thrown in the bush, and further down you get mounds of soil and rubble, which have thankfully now been cleared up," he said.

While soil and rubble could not be recycled at the Nab Lane HWRC, Sheard said: "It proves that there was already a fly-tipping problem in the area, so why close a household waste and recycling centre and just make it harder for people to [legally] tip?"

It was now "inconvenient" for residents in his area, Sheard said, with queues at the alternative site in Dewsbury meaning people "can't" get rid of waste "because of how long it's taking".The MP for Gorton and Denton was also suspended from the Labour Party after

the messages, which insulted constituents, fellow MPs and councillors.A government spokesperson said Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer was "determined to uphold high standards of those in public office" and "will not hesitate to take action against any minister who fails to meet these standards".

Gwynne said on X that he was sorry for any offence caused by the "badly misjudged" comments.He added that he understood the prime minister and Labour's decision, and "while very sad to have been suspended, will support them in any way I can".
