Regular traffic is unaffected, but vehicles wider than 3m are being diverted around work to replace safety barriers.

Councillor Andy Burton, from East Riding Council, says the work is necessary: "There was some deterioration and it's really urgent work being done for safety reasons."

North Lincolnshire's newest library is to open in Winterton later this month, it's been announced. 

The library, which is part of the new £1.2m purpose-built Winterton Centre on West Street, is due to open on Tuesday 28 March.

A new gym, Local Link advice centre and skate park will also open at the site which is located next to Winterton Rangers Football Club.

It's thought the library will be the only public library in the Humber region to open on Sundays and will be open 20 hours more per week than the town's current library, according to North Lincolnshire Council, external .

The East Riding Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) wants to replace six of the units with at least two urgent care centres in Goole, Beverley or Bridlington.

The CCG has released the results of its consultation over the future of the units, with the figures set to be used when it makes a final decision about the future of the units.

According to the stats, over a quarter of the people who responded said they disagreed with the proposals, 21% said they were supportive while 36% agreed in part.

A quantity of cash and amphetamine as well as a "large amount" of what are believed to be stolen goods were found in this morning's raid at a house on Brereton Avenue, police say.

Community police officers are now working to reassure local residents that they are working to stop drug dealing in the area, and anyone with information is being asked to contact police.

Illness meant he missed the weekend win at Leyton Orient which has brought Marcus Bignot's side back to within having a serious tilt at claiming a play-off place.

Bignot (pictured) says he and the team haven't taken their eye off where they want to be: "We'll just continue. Ten games, that's 30 points - it's a lot of points. We will remain focused."

Sally Deegan and Bowser were announced winners in the Friends for Life category last night.

Sally says Bowser has been a huge help since her diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis and she's very pleased to get the award.

She says: "Picking up the award and accolade for Bowser is more than I could've hoped for.

"I really didn't expect it would be us. I thought it would be anybody else but us."

Commuters using Northern trains in East Yorkshire have been affected by today's rail strike.

Over 1,000 services are not running on the Northern network and the firm has pledged 300 rail replacement buses to help get people to where they need to be.

This commuter explained how he's been affected:  

Barbara Buttrick went from being a typist to a pioneering women's world boxing champion.

Abortion should be decriminalised up to 24 weeks to prevent vulnerable women from being handed life sentences for seeking terminations, a Hull MP says.

Hull North Labour MP Diana Johnson says "Victorian" abortion laws containing criminal sanctions for women and doctors if they don't meet certain requirements should be scrapped.  

Under current laws, it's illegal for a woman to have an abortion after 24 weeks for non-medical reasons, and each procedure must be signed-off by two doctors before it can go ahead. 

Ms Johnson is due to introduce her Reproductive Health (Access to Terminations) Bill in the Commons later.

She says what she's calling for is "about decriminalisation not deregulation".

An online fundraising page has been set up to pay the £30,000 court costs of an 83-year-old farmer from near York.

The pensioner shot Richard Stables in the foot in November 2015, believing he was planning to take diesel. 

Now celebrity lawyer, Nick Freeman, who's known as Mr Loophole, has stepped in and set up a crowd funding page to help.

Despite the not guilty verdict, Mr Hugill will still have to pay the £30,000 he incurred for his defence.

The lawyer says the current system where those found not guilty are not entitled to recoup their legal fees is an "absolute disgrace, particularly in circumstances such as these."

Marco Silva says it is "impossible" for Hull City to continue to play at the KCOM Stadium the day after a rugby match on the same pitch.
