Storm Boelo's high winds have forced the cancellation of 22 flights due to leave Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) today.

LBA, the highest commercial airport in the UK, told those due to fly to check the flight's status before attending the airport.

As of 13:00 GMT, 16 flights due to arrive at the airport - sitting 681ft (208m) above sea level - have also been cancelled.

"We'd like to thank all customers for their patience and understanding while our teams work through these challenging conditions," an LBA spokesperson has said.

For the residents of Ilkley, West Yorkshire, the closure of their local tip means they now have a 22-mile (35km) round trip to their nearest site.

Not the most environmentally-friendly of moves, the local MP Robbie Moore argues.

The Conservative started a petition against the closure of the household recycling centre and more than 10,000 people signed it – but Bradford Council went ahead and closed the site, along with two others, in March 2024.

Moore, and local litter-picking volunteers, have noted an increase in fly-tipping on the region’s famous hills – but the council claim this is not the case.

A spokesperson said closing the Ilkley tip and two others in the district had saved £900,000 a year – and said those who fly-tip are likely to do it regardless of whether there is a tip nearby.
