Yorkshire Water has launched a £2m project to reduce sewage overflowing into the Huddersfield Broad Canal when it rains.

Work includes the construction of a new surface water sewer and redirecting highways drains.

It is expected the project, due to be completed by November, will reduce spills into the canal by 61%.

Yorkshire Water project manager Omair Khan said the scheme was just a "small part of a £180m investment" across the region.
