Yorkshire Water has announced hosepipe restrictions will be brought in from Friday in an effort to protect water supplies ahead of a predicted warm summer.

The supplier said the region has experienced both the driest and warmest spring on record, getting just 15 centimetres of rain between February and June – less than half what is expected in an average year.
There has also been a higher water demand, leaving the region’s reservoirs at 55.8 per cent full.
The ban means people will have to stop using hosepipes to water gardens or wash cars.
