Good morning, York. Today is a big day at the council - Labour faces a revolt from its own business community over a plan to close the Christmas Market every Tuesday. North Yorkshire has taken Mayor Skaith to court over £20 million in missing road repair money. The Yorkshire Museum gets £2 million to fix its leaking roof. Golden eagles could be soaring over the North York Moors within a decade. Here is everything you need to know.
