Here are the latest headlines tonight in West Yorkshire:
You'd be forgiven for thinking that once all the major structures have been checked after flooding, "That's it, everything's safe and we know what's damaged".
But, as this graphic from Calderdale Council shows, it's not just buildings and other structures that need to be checked after flooding like that which hit the district just after Christmas.
Image source, Calderdale CouncilWest Yorkshire Police say the boss of a Dewsbury bed-making firm who has been found guilty today of human trafficking is an example of how the practice will not be tolerated.
Mohammed Rafiq (pictured, right), 60, of Thorncliffe Road in Staincliffe, employed large numbers of Hungarian men as a "slave workforce" at the now defunct Kozee Sleep in Ravensthorpe.
Leeds Crown Court heard how staff at the site were paid as little as £10 a day.
Quote MessageI hope this conviction demonstrates to victims of human trafficking that the police and authorities will act on their behalf and are prepared to support victims throughout the legal process to secure justice for them."
Det Ch Insp Warren Stevenson, West Yorkshire Police
Yorkshire Water has been given a £600,000 fine after a sewage pipe burst and killed hundreds of fish in a Wakefield lake.
Image source, Graham HoggA main pipe burst from the company's Shay Lane pumping station in early October 2013 and left at least 860 fish dead - though the exact number is not known.
Water samples from the lake, which is stocked by the Walton Angling Club, confirmed the pollution was significant enough to be fatal to aquatic life.
The leader of Leeds City Council says she's disappointed after a meeting with the Environment Secretary about the city's flood defences.
Judith Blake and all of Leeds' MPs met Elizabeth Truss this morning to discuss how to protect the city following serious flooding after Christmas.
Image source, PAIn the meeting, Ms Truss said the government remains "fully committed" to ensuring Leeds is fully protected and the city will have its first phase of new flood defences completed by next March.
Quote MessageThere was no commitment to any additional funding which is very disappointing. The government’s words now need to be translated into firm action."

Looks like all that mist which was around in West Yorkshire earlier has finally cleared up - I've just spotted this picture tweeted by @LeedsParks, external which looks amazing in the sun.

If you live in north Leeds, this could affect you in the future. This event is taking place in Bramhope...
