    Emergency services have been attacked a number of times whilst attending fires in a Batley park.

    Police say a dozen blazes have been started at Wilton Park over the last few days and when fire crews have attended they have had stones and tarmac thrown at them.

    Officers from West Yorkshire Police in Batley and Spen said it "put an unnecessary drain on emergency resources, and takes units away from potentially life-threatening jobs".
