    Hull charity Rerun Furniture Service Ltd wants Hull City Council to rethink its planned budget cuts saying the most vulnerable in the city will be hit hardest. 

    The charity provides household items to those who are most in need within Hull and the East Riding.

    It fears council plans to stop charities using the Household Waste and Recycling Centres for free could mean it would close.

    I was a smoker when I was a 19. When I was a policeman I had to go to a postmortem examination on lung cancer. It wasn’t the lung cancer that put me off - it was the condition of the guys lungs. I stopped there and then. Never smoked since

    I’ve just celebrated my 11th anniversary of no smoking. 11 years ago I was smoking up to 80 a day for years and I went to see a doctor. I went from 80 down to 50. I went to a stop smoking help line and I had my last cigarette on September 11th 2005 and haven’t smoked since. I’ve got 58 cigarettes sitting in my study, top shelf; I keep them as a memory

    As ex-smoker of 20 odd years I would make all street areas in shopping precincts no smoking places

    BBC Radio Humberside

    All change at the Ferens Art Gallery in Hull - it could be getting a new logo.

    You've been telling BBC Radio Humberside your favourite design on their Facebook page.

    Number 3 has style and more of a timeless quality about it.

    I don't think any of them are worth voting for to be honest. 3 at a push but not keen on the broken F.

    Sylvia

    Number 3 is the best of the bunch but it isn't quite right, a bit dour. What about some recognition of our nautical history?
