00:00 Three stories in brief and a 12-year-old boy from Leeds who lost his dad to a brain tumour
00:06 has vowed to continue fundraising for brain tumour research to find a cure for the disease.
00:12 Dad of two, Daniel Gilliland, died from a glioblastoma in November, just 13 months after
00:17 being diagnosed. His youngest son, Felix, is continuing to raise awareness.
00:21 Next, a street improvement scheme for Holbeck residents has been completed. £900,000 worth
00:28 of works include a pedestrian school crossing, footpath widening, traffic calming measures
00:33 and segregated cycle lanes.
00:35 And finally, a Leeds granddad has fulfilled a lifelong ambition after flying on a plane
00:40 for the first time at the age of 90. Malcolm Shedlow visited the cockpit on his Jet 2 flight
00:45 from Leeds to Dordogne. During the Second World War, Malcolm worked in the RAF but never
