To North Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service, and everyone that has helped tackle the fire on Langdale Moor

We want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you for the incredible work you have done, and continue to do, to tackle the fire on Langdale Moor. 
Your hard work in keeping the fire contained and stopping it from spreading further has made a huge difference to our communities. The care you’ve taken not just for residents, but for wildlife and the moorland itself, has been noticed and valued by us all. At a time when many people were worried, you were there to protect what matters most.
We also want to recognise the way you’ve kept everyone updated. The clear and timely information you’ve shared has helped communities feel safer, make the right decisions, and stay reassured in difficult circumstances. That communication has been every bit as important as the work on the ground.
It’s not just those fighting the fire in person we want to thank. Firefighters across York and North Yorkshire have stepped up to ensure the Service could continue responding to other emergencies across the region. And behind every crew on the moor there are control room staff, coordinators, and support teams working flat out to keep everything running smoothly. Your role is just as vital, and your efforts deserve the same appreciation. 
We know how demanding this job is, and how much it asks of you. Incidents like this show again the incredible commitment, professionalism, and resilience of our fire and rescue service. What you’ve done over these past days has been outstanding, and we want you to know it hasn’t gone unnoticed.
We also want to thank your colleagues in other fire and rescue services including Humberside, West Yorkshire, and Cleveland, who have supported efforts to tackle this fire. Employers across our region who have released their staff to undertake on-call and volunteer firefighter duties, and the farmers and land managers who have stepped up and offered support, we’re incredibly grateful for your help and support.
On behalf of people right across York and North Yorkshire, thank you. We are all proud of you, and very grateful for all you’ve done to protect our communities, our countryside, and our wildlife.
With our very best wishes and thanks,
 
David Skaith

Northern Mayors respond to the exclusion of Northern universities from the Global Talent Fund
 
“We are deeply disappointed that universities in the North of England, some of the best and brightest in the world, have once again been overlooked in the allocation of national innovation funding, despite their research credentials.
 
"The North is home to some of the UK’s most innovative, high-performing universities. These institutions drive the development of lifechanging technologies and work hand in hand with industry to create good jobs and grow the economy. Their exclusion from the Global Talent Fund undermines their contribution to the UK’s economic success, as well as the Government's stated commitment to rebalance our economy.
 
“As Mayors, we stand ready to support the Government in its mission to make the UK a global science superpower. But to truly deliver on that mission, investment in innovation must reflect the full breadth and depth of talent that exists across the country, not continue to be concentrated disproportionately in London and the South-East.
 
“We are calling for urgent reform to ensure greater transparency and fairness in how public research and innovation funding is allocated. Strategic funds like this must support national growth, and that means recognising and investing in the full potential of the North of England and the fifteen million people we collectively represent.
 
“We urge UK Research and Innovation to think again, review this disappointing decision and work together with us on creating a new funding model that truly reflects the strengths and aspirations of all of our regions, to build a brighter Britain that works for us all.”
