Diana Princess of Wales Hospital in Grimsby and Scunthorpe General Hospital are expecting their A&E department to be "stretched" over the weekend.

They say extra visitors to the east coast mean more people will be visiting their A&E and minor injuries departments.

Paul Kirton-Watson, Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust associate chief nurse (medicine), says the trust has redeployed staff "to maintain safe and effective care" but resources are still expected to be stretched.

"We would urge people to choose wisely, either with self-care or by speaking to their pharmacist about minor illnesses and injuries, rather than attending one of our hospitals," Mr Kirton-Watson adds.

Shark-spotters have made a rare discovery on the East Yorkshire coast.

The egg case from a Small-eyed Ray, which is closely related to sharks, was found at Flamborough's South Landing as part of The Deep's latest 'egg-case hunt' for the Sharks Trust.

It's only the third ever to be recorded in this area.

The species is classed as threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and is more commonly found on the south coast.

The discovery is described as a rare and important find by The Deep.

There's concern that the remains of Hull's Old Town wall could be seriously damaged by children.

Campaigners who helped to get the site preserved in recent years say many youngsters have been using the Beverley Gate site as a climbing frame.

Local historian Mike Covell fears the listed site may not last long if it continues.

Hull City Council has asked people to respect the monument and not climb on it.

It says an existing "keep off" sign is to be repainted and a refurbished blue plaque and new information board will soon be put in place.

People living in an area of west Hull say they're worried the roads will become gridlocked if a new housing development goes ahead.

Almost 200 new homes and a medical centre are planned for Calvert Lane.

The plans are expected to go before Hull City Council's planning committee next month.

Applicants Trinity House Charity and Citycare say "We acknowledge the concerns regarding traffic and continue to work with the local authority to determine the most appropriate traffic mitigation measures to the local highway".

There are not enough police officers on the beat in Bridlington.

That's according to the town's mayor, Cyril Marsburg, who was commenting on the recent spate of 10 house burglaries in the space of 48-hours.

Humberside Police say they've responded by putting on extra patrols, but Mr Marsburg says they are closing the stable door after the horse has bolted.

People who live in part of Grimsby say they are living in fear because of gangs of youths who are terrorising the area.

In the past few days the East Marsh area has seen a suspected arson attack, a rooftop siege and a car abandoned after hitting a house.

I've been talking to people who live in the area on the phone. They say they are too scared of reprisals to be seen talking to the BBC.

Humberside Police say the recent incidents are not linked.

Police and Crime Commissioner Keith Hunter says tackling anti-social behaviour is a key issue for him and he wants to see an increased visible police presence in the area.

He plans to do that by recruiting 200 new police officers a year.

Scunthorpe United manager Graham Alexander plans to talk to striker Tom Hopper about a proposed move to Mansfield Town.

The Iron have accepted a bid for Hopper but the player hadn't made his decision known to the club.

Graham Alexander has also told us he's not expecting to have any new faces in before Saturday's season-opener with AFC Wimbledon but they'd be unlikely to feature if they do.

Luke Williams and youngster Lewis Butroid are the only two players unavailable for selection for that game as they recover from injuries.

A contract firm working at Eggborough power station, near Selby, says it is in talks with a union after scaffolders decided to take industrial action in a pay dispute.

The Unite union claims that the contractor, Cape Industrial Services, is not paying its workers the agreed national hourly pay rate.

The first of two 48-hour strikes is due to take place on 17 August.

Now Cape Industrial Services says it is in talks with the Unite union and is committed to finding a solution.

A phone box in an East Yorkshire village, which was destroyed after a car ran into it, is to be replaced after a campaign to save it.

Residents in Atwick say the traditional red phone box is in keeping with the look of the village and essential for residents who struggle with poor phone signals.

BT, who say they usually no longer replace phone boxes due to their lack of use have made an exception due to the passion shown by local people and have now agreed to restore it.
