    There's hope that the ash tree could remain a part of the Yorkshire Wolds countryside - despite a fungus which has been threatening to wipe out the tree from large areas.

    Researchers at York University and Queen Mary University in London have developed a screening technique allowing growers to identify saplings that are resistant to the disease.

    Areas where trees have been wiped out would be replanted with ash dieback resistant stock.

    People are angry that North East Lincolnshire council took away their parking schemes three years ago.
